enkeli: (what's in my ipod?)

jumping off the bridge with everyone else

i've done this one before, but i noticed several people adding the lyrics instead (nancy's being the toughest and most memorable to me right now). so, here's mine. i only went 15 songs, and three of them are covers. extra special points if you get the original artist and the cover artist.

HINT: they're not all by jeff buckley. (you were thinking it, don't lie. lies don't become us.)

1) "the bells of the crown are being stolen by bandits"
2) "don’t carry the world upon your shoulders"
3) "let’s move before they raise the parking rate!"
4) "no hope, no harm, just another false alarm"
5) "half of what I say is meaningless"
6) "boys that always grew up better men than me and you"
7) "you shouldn’t mess with me, I’ll ruin everything you are."
8) "the last time I saw you, you looked so much older"
9) "your kisses are as wicked as an M-16"
10) "didn’t mean to laugh, didn’t know I had"
11) "I’m your loan shark of bliss"
12) "cannot forget, refuse to regret, so glad I met you"
13) "there’s a hole in the sky where the sun don’t shine"
14) "a fresh roll of quarters, same old songs"
15) "well I never said I wouldn’t throw my jacket in the mud for you"

p.s. if you google it, you should 'fess up! no harm, no foul. :)

Re: HA HA!

yes, but you only get a quiet yell, because you didn't guess the original artist. :P

i am full of rules. also, i don't like yelling, esp. when directed at me and my insomnia.

my insomnia is really sensitive, you know. :)

#2 is "Hey Jude," by the Beatles.

#3 is "All Right Now," but I don't know the name of the band. Whoops!

#7 is "China Girl," by David Bowie.

[identity profile] enkeli.livejournal.com 2004-05-05 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
i [heart] you. :)

#3 is by a band called free! (no, that didn't happen on purpose so i could rhyme. hehehe.

Heee!

I love the song "China Girl." Heck, I love everything from David Bowie's Thin White Duke days.

You know, I'll give you television,
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world!

And when I get excited,
My little china girl, she says,
"Oh baby. Just you shut your mouth..."

For some reason, I always found that line really sexy. :)

yes, especially because he uses the Low Talker Voice.

makes you want to say, "come over here and make me." or something.

ahem.
