tanaiseI'm cheating because I don't have full access to my music, so I'm picking and chosing around the CDs I do have (which is about 75% of my music ;) or they'd all be from the same singers. Oh, and I put hints for some songs in white, so if there's extra space and you feel like cheating, highlight.
1)She's like a claymore, that's what she's there for, waiting around here to get blown apart
2)She lost her lover at an accident at sea. She pushed him overboard and ended up with me
3)We're lost at sea, just you and me, two violent seperate entities.
4)This is the last song I will ever sing. No I changed my mind again. Good night and thank you.
5)Come armegedon, come armegedon, come. (or, an easier line In this seaside town that they forgot to bomb, come come nuclear war)
6)You are repressed, but you're remarkably dressed.
7) Wanna fall in love tonight (or, an easier line Our house in the middle of the street why did we ever leave started my rock and roll fantasy.)
8)In our lifetime, those who kill, the news world hands them stardom, and these are the ways on which I was raised.
9)Well the truth is, I miss you
10) I'll fake it through the day with some help from Johnnie Walker Red. (said song also has the best line in the world about Friends on it--"It's a comedy of errors, you see, it's about taking a fall.")
11)(My plug in baby) crucifies my enemies when I'm tired of living.
12) The two of us at a double feature--I'm a rock-and-roller, she's a science teacher.
13) So far gone, I'm past governor's Island. Past the Verrazano bridge.
14)Got an angel on the stair. As if you'd even care.
15)Heading out, your heart beating in your head, riding on the texas wind. Raise your feet as you cross the state line.
16) (I am the milkman of human kindness) I will leave an extra pint.
17)I loved you then as I love you still, though I put you on a pedestal, I put you on the pill.
18)Now that I'm free, you can be cheerleader in my hit parade.
19)I really do move in mysterious ways and so do you.
20) One of these could be the day but who would have known?
Extras because I'm bored:
21) Seems to me that maybe it pretty much always means no. So don't tell me you might just let it go.

Date: 2004-05-06 08:22 am (UTC)Crap, I can't ID any of the others! I'm so over-the-hill! But we only just got back an "indie" rock station in the LA area after a five year hiatus of nothing but AOR, oldies, talk radio and banda/ranchera/rap/hip-hop mish-mash. But at least I'll always have KCRW and Nic Harcourt to introduce me to new stuff...
Are you a Gary Jules fan, yet? I'm working on everybody I know until they either convert or hit me in the head!

Date: 2004-05-06 09:13 am (UTC)#17 is his "A New England" which also contains the immortal lines:
I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satelites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware?
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
(And my lyric booklet informs me that it's actually "they put you on the pill.")
On a vaguely related lyrical note, I'm very fond of the original LP for Shriekback's Oil and Gold, which had all the lyrics printed in a phonetic alphabet so that when you couldn't quite make something out, you could check the lyrics and find the words-- and of course, they were still indistinguishable, with their indistinguishableness trascribed into a graphic form... I think they may have done something more normal for the CD (although I can't find the case right now.)
