Name That Song!

TeapotScar · 03-07-2005, 03:13 PM

...a rip-off of the "Name That Movie" thread!

Guess what song the lyrics of the person above you were from, and post your own for somebody else to guess.

I'll start!

"As I play out the passion of a stranger in love
Letting go of the time
In this other world that spins around for one
And I'm not sure where I am
Would she know it was a lie?
So happy and so young
And I stare... But-
I can't find myself
I can't find myself..."

The Cure-Lost

And now presenting the best song EVER!

"She wants to go home, but...
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside."

"City of Angels" ~ Red Hot Chili Peppers! :P

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

Wallflowers - The Weight

give her some space

"You've Been Flirting Again" ~ Bjork

Solitaire with a song in her heart
But what a sad song to sing
Turned her back on all that she knew
In the hopes of a golden ring...

drgnlvr · 03-10-2005, 10:56 PM

I didn't think it was that tough, guys! I'm sorry. Should I drop a hint?

I think I'll drop a hint:

Blackmore.

Blackmore's Night "Castles and Dreams"

Mine, immaculate dream, made breath and skin
I’ve been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo
Happy birthday to you was created for you.

"Come Undone" ~ Duran, Duran.

They saw her break through barriers forty feet high
It was the finest moment in a long life
Young boys would hang her pictures over their bed
They saw her mouth move but they couldn't hear what she said

AlKilyu · 03-10-2005, 11:23 PM

"Come Undone"

They are in town tonight!

That song reminds me of stuff.

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not,
come back tomorrow: O my heart,
O my heart shies from the sorrow"
I am puzzled as the newborn child

"Song to the Siren" ~ Robert Plant.

Here's an easy one! :P

T’was hard the woeful words to frame
To break the ties that bound us.
But harder still to bear the shame
Of foreign chains around us.
And so I said the mountain glen
I’ll meet at morning early.
And I’ll join the bold united men
While soft winds shook the barley.

TeapotScar · 03-10-2005, 11:44 PM

The Wind that shakes the barley? Dead can dance does it.

"I could clothe a continent, but I could not sew a stitch. I could paint my face and stand very very still."

The Dresden Dolls - The Perfect Fit

Didn't even cheat! But I had to stretch over to the shelf and double-chech the lyric booklet, which is very pretty...

We like to smoke pot
We like it a lot
Our small eyes are tearing for what we have not
The nice pipe is here
A lighter is near
I won't become freaked out,
Fear not, sister dear

:wink:

Rasputina - Sister Sleep

.....
I've got 96 tears
and 96 eyes

I've got a garbage brain
it's driving me insane
and I don't like ___________
so push that pest aside

baby I won't care
cause baby i don't scare
cause I'm a reborn maggot
using germ warfare

Human Fly - The Cramps

"Why do you telephone?
And why send me silly notes?
I'm so sorry.
Why do you come here, when you know it makes things hard for me?

Let's sneak into my room,
just to read my diary.
It was just to see, just to see,
all the things you knew I written about you,
oh so many illustrations..."

Morrissey - Suedehead

"has your love passed away?
and do you think of me at night in stormy weather?
and when the clouds burn away...
and the sun beats so deeper and brighter?
does your memory fade...
when you think about all the things that we dreamed of?
does your heart drift away in the morning time...
as frustration prevails, prevails?
...for awhile?"

Lycia- The Return of Nothing

I could taste the lightning on your breath
I watched you hold the son in your arms while he bled to death
he grew so pale next to you
the world is so pale next to you
your hair is coxcomb red your eyes are viper black

Songs Ohia - Coxcomb Red

Yay, another one from a record I got! Now this here may be a bit tricky, but if you've heard it once, you know...

Lying on my back I heard music
Felt unsure & catastrophic
Had to tell myself it's only music
It blows my mind, but it's like that

pitseleh... your taste in music rules, you're liberal, you're of a good age... When are you flying to New York on your gorgeous white horse to rescue me?

Quiet mouths speak in quiet codes
Contagious headaches
Sent them home
Empty tombs, or parents beds,
With flashcards
To memorize their wounds.

Yeah, I'm sure as soon as he finds a flying horse, he'll do that. Dumbass. Just kidding! Love you!

I'm deeply sorry for this, but...

My pegasus is out to pasture,
Its broken wing in a sling.
A sad-eyed beast on the meadow unfit for travelling.

I tried to cajole him with apples,
I know he likes sweet little things.
But he'll never get any further until I take care of his wings.

This seemed very familiar, but I couldn't quite place it, so... I cheated. Sure enough, it was Q And Not U with "Sleeping The Terror Code". It's probably just you and me who listen to them here anyway, so I don't feel bad. Now here's mine:

I was born in the desert
I been down for years
Jesus, come closer
I think my time is near

And I've traveled over
Dry earth and floods
Hell and high water
...

I was born in the desert
I been down for years
Jesus, come closer
I think my time is near

And I've traveled over
Dry earth and floods
Hell and high water
To bring you my love

PJ Harvey!

Life - a book of painful tongue that hurts our ears.
Flowers of the end, their seed shall grow.
Your breath shall be my coat,
the underworld is, oh, so cold.

Nike · 03-17-2005, 03:04 AM

I knew I know that from somewhere, and now I've just heard it on the radio...Sopor Aeternus - Not dead but dying.

one of my favourites.....

Sail on silver wings
through this storm
What fortune love may bring
Back to my arms again
The love of a former golden age.
I am disabled by fears concerning which course to take.
For, now that wheels are turning,
I find my faith deserting me...
