Since I'm busy procrastinating right now, it seemed like a perfect time to post the lyrics quiz I've had lying around for a while. This is from two of my favorite song tapes, the artists are listed below, some artists have multiple songs, and some songs have multiple artists.
1.
You told me we live in the shadows
You told me to hide from the light
But the last thing you said keeps running through my head
2.
As you pass them by, they whisper their remarks one to another
And you give them the eye even though you know that you could be their mother
3.
I see you've gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this old mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain
So Long, Marianne
4.
A new life grows, the blossom knows
There's no one else could warm my heart as much as you
5.
But livin' on the streets ain't bad; sad people make you glad
"Pardon me, can you spare some change?"
6.
Carnival, the wheels fly and the colours spin
Through alcohol, red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face in a dry and waterless place
7.
And when she walks across the floorboards, how they creak and ooze and moan
And when she walks across the floorboards, they're so glad she's on her own
8.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening and have nothing to say
9.
I'm living in a neon house, I'm living in avalanche row, I'm living in hangover city
And all these unforeseen things tumble down
I've got a love and it won't stop burning
10.
Do you remember the night we were lost in the shade of the blackthorn and the chill of the frost
Thanks be to Jesus we did what was right and your maidenhead still is your pillar of might
I Am Stretched On Your Grave
11.
Lots of them, and all one of a kind
But the most important thing is what is on your mind
12.
Disproving all belief in my ability,
I'm kind of hanging in the sub-basement of my maturity
And chipping away at my employability
Window of Opportunity
13.
The blue eyes of children, they shine without fear
Hope for the future, and oceans of tears
14.
They've got it all worked out, like working nine to five
But they're all just cartoons, they all think they're Superman
But they can't even fly
Blaze of Glory
15.
If I were in your shoes, I myself would find the food for my family
So if all your people starve, then the fault's not in the stars and it's not in me
16.
For every night that you've been gone, I lit a candle
There must be ninety-nine around my bed
17.
Now she wonders why, floating in the sky
Watching while her friends laugh until they cry
18.
You only hunt to feed your lonely, but you're hiding in the blind
So you're a prisoner of your own protection if it's life you're trying to find
19.
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember soldier sleeping next to me
The Metro
20.
A sticky shower of radioactive moonbeams cascades from the tops of nearby urban structures
Causing indiscriminate loss of limb, as well as general madness all around
21.
There's nothing wrong with the way you feel
The moon and stars are in the sky
Centuries apart and the lights are shining down on you
22.
And when I reach out, I find I'm standing right beside you
Now we're living, blessed with all the thunder in the world
23.
I was walking through the dry leaves, it was very strange
They hadn't changed their colour, all the leaves were green
The Bird In The Gravel
24.
So what is this I hear–you deserve a break?
Take time to think it out, don't make a new mistake
25.
You can just sit there thinking on your velvet throne
About all the rainbows you can have for your own
26.
She wore hurt surprise as she re-checked her makeup to protect herself
She showed less than pride; she made it totally clear that she was his for a price
Family Man
27.
Break the code of death for profit, break the guns
Break the silence of money, break the greedy unison
28.
There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept that never see the light of day
I want to drag them out, go for a walk, just to see the look that's on your face
29.
I don't want to change your mind, I don't want to think about your mind
They say love is blind; I don't think you're blind
30.
How long have you been my light? How long have you been my night?
I tried to talk and I tried to make it right
31.
Every night I turn the light out, waiting for the velvet blind
Will the scaly armadillo find me where I'm hiding?
32.
Look, my eyes are dry; the gift was ours to borrow
It's as if we always knew
33.
She gave me a night, that's all it was
What will it take until I stop fooling myself, wasting my time
All For Leyna
34.
Somewhere around three AM, my telephone rings; I pick it up, it's you
You say you're having trouble sleeping, thoughts of me are keeping you up
35.
We'll go walking hand in hand
We will rock you, rock you little child
36.
Take a message to my love and don't say where you saw me
Seven men crossed the river and they took all the money
Light of The Moon
37.
I know you deceived me; couldn't sleep last night
Now the tearstains on the wall reflect an ugly sight
38.
Shout it to me and I'll shout it to the skies above me
That there was nothing after all
39.
I want to write a novel, freeze all your expressions into words
Come back later and read about what I should have heard
In A Different Light
40.
The ammunition's been passed and the Lord's been praised
But the wars on the television will never be explained
41.
Something so simple, something so trivial, makes me a happy man
Can't you understand; say you believe just how easy it is to please me
42.
