Random song quiz
Sep. 30th, 2008 12:02 am1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
2: Post the first lines from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Well...here goes...and since I am so totally bored like Reg was...that should be sufficient explanation why I'm posting this, lol.
Oh, and yeah...since most of my music now is either instrumental, orchestral, etc...I had to cheat a little by skipping tracks in those categories so basically these technically aren't the first 30 songs. Apologies. =/
1. "When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game."
2. "Zitto, lascia ch’io senta! Ottimamente: dunque
dobbiam ucciderlo?"
3. "Staying home, living day by day
May be safe but it can't be duller"
4. "It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done"
5."Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso,
Notte e giorno d'intorno girando"
6. "It's rather dull in town, I think I'll take me to Paree.
The mistress wants to open up
The castle in Capri.
Me doctor recommends a quiet summer by the sea"
7. "I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it -- wouldn't you?"
8. "He thinks that man is me
He knew him at a glance!
That stranger he has found
This man could be my chance!"
9. "Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
To ruin your sleep"
10. "You seem unhappy, my beloved
As if there is something on your mind.
Confide in me."
11. "Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment"
12. "I don't know what I'm supposed to say
When now suddenly you feel so far away"
13. "Ambling madly all over the town
The call to arms you liken to a whisper,
I liken to a radio."
14. "Lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against"
15. "Come stop your crying
It will be all right"
16. "The winter here’s cold, and bitter
It’s chilled us to the bone
We haven’t seen the sun for weeks
Too long, too far from home"
17. "In sleep he sang to me,
In dreams he came."
18. "Bring out the old, bring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you"
19. "The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe"
20. "She said to me, "Go steady on me.
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?"
21. "To dream the impossible dream,
To the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go"

And I wanna feel like that"

Your journey's been etched on your skin."

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination."
25. "Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
One morning in July
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by."
26. "I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me"
27. "Hunt for the man
Comb the city, every street, every grate
You put a guard at every gate
Drag him out, shout the moment that you find him!"
28. "It's made up of lonely moments
There was always a moment there when I knew
You always gave instalments
Always knew you concentrated and grew"
29. "No more talk of darkness
Forget these wild-eyed fears!"
30. "Somewhere there's another land,
Different from this world below.
Far more mercifully planned
Than the cruel place we know."
