i'm bored, so i'm gonna post song excerpts, and see if anyone can guess the songs and artists.
(1)
she left her family, warm and kind,
all of her friends said "you're out of your mind,"
life on her own she must find,
it's monday and she's gotta grind.
(2)
that sugar cane that tasted good,
that cinammon, that's hollywood.
come on, come on, no one can see you try.
(3)
more wood for the fires of neighbors
flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck
eating seeds is a pastime activity...
(4)
if you want it, you can have it
but you gotta learn to reach up there and grab it
cuz everybody wants some love (oh baby)
shooting from the stars above (oh baby)
and though my heart will break,
there's more than i could take,
i could never get enough
(5)
she spreads her love, she burns me up
i can't let go, i can't get out
i've said enough, enough by now
i can't let go, i can't get out
(6)
this hardcore ghetto gangster image takes a lot of practice,
i'm not black like Barry White, no i am white like Frank Black is.
so if man is 5 and the devil is 6 then that must make me 7,
this honky's going to heaven.
(7)
i used to be a little boy,
so old in my shoes
but what i choose is my choice,
what's a boy supposed to do?
the killer in me is the killer in you, my love.
i send this smile over to you.
(8)
she dances in a photograph,
when it was good to joke and have a laugh,
but that was yesterday, if only today.
now these walls are crawling faces that still breathe,
but before she nods her head, what's left but sleep?
(9)
don't it feel right like this
all the pieces fall to his wish
suck up for that quick reward, boy
suck up for that quick reward they said...
then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way
(10)
can i break away?
push me away, make me fall
just to see another side of me
push me away, you can't see
what i see, the other side of me
most of those songs are reasonably well-known, it really shouldn't be too hard at all. let's see who wins.
