It's the lyrics meme again!
Fun for the whole family. I go through iTunes on party shuffle, pick some lyrics, you tell me what they are. Great for a wet grey Friday, because who wants to work? Only 18, because I've got a meeting at 3.
1. A voice arrived, the voice of God, the face of God, covered in a cloud.
2. Nobody knows the party rules, gotta get in but there's no room.
3. The mystery masked man was smart: he got himself a Tonto, 'cause Tonto did the dirty work for free. ("If I Had a Boat," Lyle Lovett, guessed by hackthis)
4. Punk rock will get you if the government don't get you first.
5. I'm not what's missing from your life now, I could never be the puzzle pieces.
6. In the Soviet Union, a scientist is blinded by the resumption of nuclear testing, and he is reminded that Doctor Robert Oppenheimer's optimism failed at the first hurdle. ("Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards," Billy Bragg, guessed by iamsab
7. They talk to the sister, the father and the mother, with a microphone in one hand and a chequebook in the other.
8. I can't say that I love Jesus, that would be a hollow claim.
9. She was shivering so hard it looked like there were two of her.
10. I thought I was someone else, someone good. ("Perfect Day," by Lou Reed, guessed by ficbyzee
11. The pockets don't hold any more sunken treasures after baptism by whiskey.
12. Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today. You have found another, baby, I must go away.
13. All foreign wars, I do proclaim, live on in blood and a mother's pain. ("Mrs McGrath," covered by Bruce Springsteen on The Seeger Sessions, guessed by wearemany
14. There's too many people you used to know, they see you coming, they see you go.
15. Like a fifteen-year-old kid wears a vampire kiss, if you don't know what is wrong with me, you don't know what you've missed. ("I'll Wear It Proudly," Elvis the C., guessed by c_elisa
16. I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast. ("Move," the Beastie Boys, referencing "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang, guessed by hackthis)
17. Dit-dit-dit on your mobile phone, dit-dit-dit on your mobile phone
18. Yesterday I got so old it made me want to cry. ("In Between Days," the Cure, guessed by musesfool
I will admit I skipped one track that came up, but only because it's only available from a tiny label in Olympia on LP (I got it from, um, some friends on the Internet) and that just seemed ridiculous. That does mean, though, that there are no Mountain Goats tracks in this list, which is statistically quite improbable, given my listening patterns.
God, the weather is awful!
