Procrastinating
I'm awesome at it.
How many do you know?
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first verse from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Tag a bunch of people who you think could guess the songs
Step 4: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 5: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING! DON'T CHEAT.
Step 6: If you like the game post your own.
1. Asking me discretely
When she can come meet me
Later on tonight
Talking super softly
How we both look goth-y
But it's alright
2. When the world has got you down
Rainy Sundays, sunny town
Tropicana, canned foods
Botchulism, damaged goods
3. Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head
And does he sing to you incessantly from the space between your bed and wall
Does he walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes, looking down every few steps to pretend he walks with you
Oh, does he know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched
and does he cry through broken sentences like I love you far too much
4. Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.
5. come through me
subdue me
you arrive and I'm on fire
to explode that you inspired
in the name of all great liars
so groovily
second episode all smiles
improvising Kaufman style
let's make a movie
6. Everybody go on and dance if you want to
Music makes your body move, well all right
Funky dancing get up, get down, shake your booty
Music makes your body move, well all right
7. It's alright to tell me what you think about me
I won't try to argue or hold it against you
I know that you're leaving you must have your reasons
The season is calling, your pictures are falling down
8. I'm missing your bed, I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.
9. All the peacock people left the plumes in a pile
They look good to a fault
And the Gulf water's warm like a bathtub
Full of lavender and epsom salt
10. The rain, it started tapping on the window near my bed.
There was a loophole in my dreaming, so I got out of it.
And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open.
Just my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been.
11. You follow the footsteps echoes leading down a hall to a room.
There is music playing tiny bells with moving parts.
Here the shadows make things ugly, an effect quite undesirable.
And the bold and yellow daylight grows like ivy across the wall
and it bounces off of the painted porcelain, a tiny dancing doll.
12. Told you I made dinner plans
For you and me and no one else
That don't include your crazy friends
Well, I'm done with awkward situations
Empty conversations
13. Erase the facts
The shit was flyin' outta the window
I painted blue
I paint the whole room
14. Revenge. Revenge. Revenge. Revenge.
Revenge. Killed my hopes. Revenge. Called me names.
Revenge. Broke my jaw. Revenge. It's always the same. Revenge.
Nobody listens, nobody listens, nobody listens. There's no escape.
15. How fucking romantic
All the stars are out
Twinkling twinkling twinkling
And fluttering about
16. Don't leave home again
If empathy takes energy
Cause everyone feels just like you
17. Alone, with too much generosity
A theatre mask of hostility attracts
Assaults occur infrequently
And those who come to conquer
Need strength
18. I wake up
My shoulder's cold
I've got to leave here
Before I go
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
19. Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
20. You can't take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distracter
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all human beings
21. Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down today
An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway
Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path
Every moment points towards the aftermath
22. You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
And we walked in fields of gold
23. I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin' the lines when you're making a scene
Oh girl, you've got to know
What my head overlooks,
The senses will show to my heart
24. I don't think that it's
Gonna rain again today,
There's a devil at your side,
But an angel on the way
25. I used up your compassion
So I've come to make a trade
You can hate me but just love me in return
If I know where to find you
I'll stay out of your way
I won't come beg to borrow
All the happiness you've earned
26. Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me
And that look in your eyes it just tears me apart
Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in
Don't touch me if you don't love me, sweetheart
27. Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
28. See the soul singer in the session band
Shredded to ribbons beneath a microphone stand
Felt the quickness of pity like a flash in a pan
For the soul singer in the session band
29. Un dimanche aprés-midi, à Coutances.
Dans une chambre d'hôtel moyen, sans étoiles.
Le soleil passait à travers des rideaux de voiles.
Un soleil frais.
30. Mama sent me to the spring
She told me not to stay
I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And could not get away
