Music meme, as per
beingothrwrldly. Put iTunes (or, in my case, winamp) on random play all. Transcribe your favorite lines from the first 20 songs that play. Then you all guess what songs they came from. If you get it right, I shall write you a ficlet in your choice of fandom and pairing, provided I know anything about the fandom and it’s not incest.
This was fun. I rediscovered a lot of good music on my computer. (And a lot of really old, really bad music, too, which I for the most part I skipped, ‘cause I’m a rebel like that.)
Bonus points for whoever correctly matches the cut-text to its song on the list.
Also. I did not italicize the lyrics, because I am lazy.
01. The start is the hardest part / To step outside and announce a newly-broken heart
02. Well, does it say your name below / That name by which they call me?
03. We’ll have Halloween on Christmas / And in the night we’ll wish this never ends "I Miss You" by Blink-182, guessed by
brandywine421 04. The weather changes / Not halfway between your house and mine
05. Another lonely night in Amsterdam / The stars are coming out in waves "Miss America" by Something Corporate, guessed by
bluestargirl6 06. You won’t get too far from me / Believing everything you read
07. It’s all a blur / Of dance hall hips / Pretentious quips / A boxer’s bob and weave
08. Nothing that you do is new / To anything or anyone but you
09. The truth’s getting loud / Each public school is a halfway house
10. Your good intentions count for little anymore / If you’re sorry, why wage war?
11. “He’s well hung” / And I am hanging up
12. I can be the friend you want / I can be your confidante
13. And it shouldn’t be so hard / To see your friends / That’s who they are / I don’t mean to tell you how to run your life / But make up your heart
14. Please keep in sight what makes you care / You have it always
15. How we’ve shouted, how we’ve screamed / Take notice, take interest / Take me with you / But all our fears fall on deaf ears tonight "Several Ways to Die Trying" by Dashboard Confessional, guessed by
supreme_empress 16. What’cha sad for? / While you waited by the window / I was / Kicking down your door
17. And maybe, giving up’s not bad / But part of letting go of you
18. You want the sunrise / Go back to bed / I want to make you laugh
19. Still, I’m convinced / That wondering, “What if?” / Is the worst thing there is
20. Say you know what you want / You said we were the real thing / So I show you some more / And I learn / What black magic can do "Jackie's Strength" by Tori Amos guessed by
