Music-Matching Post
I will post the opening lines of thirty songs. You have to guess the title and artist of as many as you can. Whoever gets the most right can claim a drabble off me.
You'll need title and artist (or soundtrack if it's on a soundtrack). Googling the lyrics is cheating. Going through your own music is not cheating. Comments are screened to ensure fairness.
01. Now if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid things are coming hard to me.
02. I am tall, I am strong
I live deep in the hills
03. (first line skipped)
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
04. Well, I know, I miss more than I hit
With a face that was launched to sink
05. Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him.
It's two a.m.
06. I met my clone today in San Jose
She wasn't hard to recognize
07. (first line skipped)
I'm off to drop the bomb
So don't wait up for me.
08. Hear my tale - I'm Norman Normal, always humble, mild, and meek.
In my bank a lowly banker - run-down branch on nowhere street.
09. It ain't no joke, I'd like to buy the world a toke,
And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
10. I admit that in the past I've been a nasty -
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch.
11. I see you from afar and want to get to know you
But I can't find a way to relate to
Another human being and not sound like an ass
12. We got somethin', we both know it,
We don't talk too much about it.
13. Oil and grime, poison sludge,
Diesel clouds and noxious mud.
14. He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
15. Humidity is rising - barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
16. Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago
17. (first line skipped)
Lace, teddy, and pearls,
He was guarding the princess,
Became one of the girls.
18. One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small,
And the ones that Mother gives you don't do anything at all.
19. (first line skipped)
We gonna do what they said can't be done!
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
20. Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
Scoff at the monkeys living in their dark tents
21. Darker things, darker minds, a tint of blood drops
We shall all never find the passion that throbs
22. It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
23. Black and orange stray cat sitting on a fence
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
24. Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
25. Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
26. Lying by the trees
All wrapped up in leaves
I lay you down to sleep
You're so lovely
27. You can say your prayers, work your rites
Burn your little candles day and night
28. There were ships of shapes and sizes
Scattered out along the bay
29. (first line skipped)
See his eyes as he stops one of three,
Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests -
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea!
30. We've taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
