When I can't think, it's time for a meme!

Or, "I want to write, my brain isn't into it, so I'm doing this."

As seen in [livejournal.com profile] gridlore's journal.

Instructions:
On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favorite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.


I'm assuming the originator meant randomize the list or hit shuffle twenty times. But maybe not. That's what I'm doing though. So there.;)

1. Palm trees grow, and rents are low but you know I keep thinkin' about making my way back.
2. A bush to burn, a stone to bleed.
3. No warning, no pension and nobody's tears
4. You’re giving me crooked answers, I’m cracking your little code.
5. Well there'll be music all around you
6. I'd like a lamp if you don't want it.
{The next song was the Aquabats "Ska Boss", but there really aren't any lyrics there that wouldn't totally give it away. So, we move on.}
7. You don’t really need to find out what’s going on, you don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone
8. We can fly to paradise.
9. Every time I see him go, everybody says to wait.
10. A boy will be born in the garden, I'll wait on a patch of green grass.
11. Standing at the gates of hell with nowhere else to go.
12. I'm a death defying, terrifying spotlight in the gloom
13. You're out on the streets looking good, and you know deep down in your heart that it ain't right
14. Well I’m a waste like you, with nothing else to do.
15. He took the seat off his own bike because of the way that it felt.
16. And if you're trying to cut me down, you know that I might bleed.
17. Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days.
18. Innocence was our fire. We told the truth.
19. I thought "vegetarian extremists, Or prank-playing sorority girls".
20. Life's just a cocktail party on the street.

Line one gave me an earworm.

And made me want to go to Florida.

Line 17 reminded me of Mr. POML.

This is just not my week.

#1 is "I Am, I Said" by the incomparable Neil Diamond.

Other than that, I have less than no clue. I'm pretty music-deficient lately.
