gemfyreI just love the lyrics quiz/meme. This time it's 50 (yes FIFTY!) songs and the first lines from them. The idea is to just play your MP3 playlist and do the first 50 that appear, but I'll skip the instrumentals, foreign language songs and other weirdnesses. Oh, and you can blame ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
softpaw for this. Oh yes, and if the first line is the title I'll put a * where that line should be.
1. Some fifteen year old kid sits on his porch it's half-past two/Trying to figure out just what he's doin', why he had to grow up so soon
2. See the stone set in your eyes/See the thorn twist in your side
3. My baby's always dancin'/And it wouldn't be a bad thing
4. If you could see yourself now, baby/Its not my fault, you used to be so in control
5. Open up your mind and let me step inside/Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
6. When I was a boy, just about the 8th grade
7. */Search high and low/Follow every byway
8. A man walks down the street he says, "Why am I soft in the middle now?"
9. * and hold my hand/Tell me I'm your loving man
10. It's easier not to be wise and measure these things by your brains
11. Hearts of fire/Streets of stone/Modern warriors/Saddle iron horses of chrome
12. And now I'm alone again/Nowhere to go, no-one to turn to
13. Do you remember when we fell in love/We were young and innocent then
14. Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside
15. Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show/I laced the track you locked the flow
16. The waiting drove me mad/You'll find me here and I'm a mess
17. Hello, have you got something to say?/Let's go, it's not like I got all day
18. */Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
19. Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
20. Crazy crazy, I'm the boy who defies all/Lift me higher than anyone, and hold me arms
21. All veils and misty/Streets of blue/Almond looks/That chill divine
22. Birds flyin' high, you know how I feel/Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
23. Well we got no choice/All the girls and boys
24. There's a grief that can't be spoken/There's a pain goes on and on
25. Well when the sun sets over */And the moonlight floods the streets
26. Sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on/I change the channels for an hour or two
27. Freak out and give in/Doesn't matter what you believe in
28. I'm here waiting for something new to break my heart/So callous laden that I can't feel a thing at all
29. We were at a party/His ear lobe fell in the deep/Someone reached in and grabbed it
30. */But I'm movin' on/I'm gonna be your number one
31. He was a hard headed man/He was brutally handsome/And she was terminally pretty
32. She's blood, flesh and bone/No tucks or silicone
33. Workin' like a dog for the boss man/Workin for the company
34. When I reach out you move away from my hand/You're never telling me why
35. It's so hard to leave you/I don't really wanna go
36. I * so I can so I can watch you weave then breathe your storylines
37. Risin' up, back on the street/Did my time, took my chances
38. I've been waitin', standing in the dark for hours/Tryin' to find my faith in the power to get back home to you
39. Millionaire say got a big shot deal/And thrown it all away but/But I'm not too sure how I'm supposed to feel, or what I'm supposed to say
40. Some say the end is near/Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
41. Man's got his woman to take his seed/He's got the power, oh, she's got the need
42. Feel the rhythm with your hands/Steal the rhythm while you can
43. Tale as old as time/True as it can be
44. How many times do I have to try to tell you, that I'm sorry for the things I've done
45. I was gonna clean my room until */I was gonna get up and find the broom, but *
46. D'you see that face on the T.V. screen/Calling at you every Sunday
47. What in all of heaven could have prompted her to go?/After such a triumph as the ball?
48. Whenever life gets you down Mrs. Brown/And things seem hard or tough
49. How can you see into my eyes like open doors
50. I'm becoming less defined as days go by/Fading away, well you might say I'm losing focus
softpaw for this. Oh yes, and if the first line is the title I'll put a * where that line should be.4. If you could see yourself now, baby/Its not my fault, you used to be so in control
17. Hello, have you got something to say?/Let's go, it's not like I got all day
18. */Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
20. Crazy crazy, I'm the boy who defies all/Lift me higher than anyone, and hold me arms
21. All veils and misty/Streets of blue/Almond looks/That chill divine
28. I'm here waiting for something new to break my heart/So callous laden that I can't feel a thing at all
