Seen last at pun's LJ.

1. MP3 player on random


2. Pick favorite lines from first 25 songs that play.


3. Post and let friends list guess the song titles

I sort of twisted the parameters a bit. There are no duplicates here, i.e., no two songs by the same artist. I also got rid of things I don't actually know well because if I would never, ever recognize it, it seemed like it would be hard to care if anyone else would, either. And instrumentals were out for obvious reasons ;)

1. Radiohead - Paranoid Android - When I am king, you will be first against the wall (guessed by penelope_z)


2. Alcohol is your yoga, baby


3. X - The Once Over Twice - He hung me with the endless rope (guessed by carson_leigh)


4. When you fuck it up later, do I get my money back?


5. Can't trust the gods you've trusted


6. Kristin Hersh - Sundrops - Paper burns and my heart melts when I tear at you (guessed by carson_leigh)


7. How would broken find the bones?


8. Rachael Yamagata - Even So - I love you with my whole heart until it bends (guessed by carson_leigh)


9. Oasis - Champagne Supernova - Where were you while we were getting high? (guessed by penelope_z)


10. Lulu - To Sir With Love - How do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume? (guessed by jfc013)


11. It was in a foreign hotel's bathtub I baptized myself in change, and one by one I drowned all of the people I had been.


12. You are the juice I need for life


13. Some people think they gonna die someday. I got news - you never gotta go


14. PJ Harvey - This Is Love - I can't believe life's so complex, when I just want to sit here and watch you undress (guessed by penelope_z)


15. I can watch your little eyes light up while you're walking me through hell


16. I watch the moon get flayed anew, until the moon becomes the skinning tool


17. Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia - Jesus had a twin who knew nothing about sin (guessed by penelope_z)


18. B52s - Give Me Back My Man - Motions to all the seabirds, throws divinity on the sand (guessed by penelope_z)


19. The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please


20. Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime - Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground (guessed by penelope_z)


21. Tori Amos - Way vDown - Maybe I'm the afterglow (guessed by carson_leigh)


22. Kate Bush - Hounds of Love - I've always been a coward, and I don't know what's good for me (guessed by penelope_z)


23. I was afraid to be alone, now I'm scared that's how I like to be


24. He will kill for you


25. The Clash - Hateful - Oh, anything I want, he gives it to me. Anything I want, he gives it - but not for free. (guessed by penelope_z)

ETA: Clearly, penelope_z has me and my record collection pegged ;)

I do have real things to do today, but this was much more time-consuming than I'd anticipated.

9. Champagne Supernova - Oasis
14. This is Love - PJ Harvey
25. Hateful - The Clash

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

You are so right.

[tubenerd.livejournal.com]

Why do you never answer the phone?

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Because I don't like talking on the phone. Duh.

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Hee. That is the very answer that I give. Now I am off to meet the mister. ;)

[tubenerd.livejournal.com]

hungry.

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

20. Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads

I think I know some more but I should shut up and let other people guess as well...

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

I don't mind if you are champion of my list. Go ahead and guess ;)

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

18. Give me back my man - The B52's

17. Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia - I think? Been a long time since I listened to that track.

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

I think that's it for me, though 4. is eerily familiar but can't place it...

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Right, and right.

As for 4, the line before is:

Just one question, before I pack...

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

Um, actually I have no clue, I think I mixed it up with something else...

BUT! I think I got 22! Kate Bush - Hounds of Love

This is rather exciting, in the other lyrics lists I got one or two max.

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

I've never gotten more than 1-2 in anyone's, either. Including yours ;)

And, yeah. You're right again.

I think we'd probably feel pretty much at home in each other's record collections.

[penelope-z.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you edited yours. I left some completely obscure B-sides in mine, which I would never guess myself either.

Yep, would love to pock around your records, though my own collection is pretty much scattered in the winds, I've sold a lot of my vinyl.

#10 - To Sir, With Love, by Lulu

Damn, I'm old! :)

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Eeee! I hoped someone would guess that! I love that song! It's really weird in terms of tempo, and the lyrics are just way too coquettish for a student to sing to her teacher.

3. The Once Over Twice by X
6. Sundrops by Kristin Hersh
21. Way Down by Tori Amos

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

You are most correct!

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

You know, I expected that one to be the first to go, knowing how many people who love her are on my f-list...

Forgot one

[carson-leigh.livejournal.com]

8. Even So by Rachael Yamagata

Don't know why I forgot that song. I was listening to Reason Why, when I was reading your post.

[rhiannonhero.livejournal.com]

I didn't look at the answers yet, honest Injun!
