Play 20 MP3s at random.
Pick a line from each one.
Everyone who correctly identifies a song gets a smiley. Try and get the artist right as well - not all of them are the artist you might think.
1. If I show you the roses, will you follow? (Nick Cave and Kylie - Where The Wild Roses Go -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jhovall)
2. Go get me my pistol, babe - you know I can't tell right from wrong...
3. Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
4. And when I tried it, I could see you fall
5. I looked at the place where my legs used to be (The Band Played Waltzing Matilda- The Pogues -jhovall and orac_zen)
6. Take me back to the days of the foreign telegrams and the all night rock & rolling (Michelle Shocked - Anchorage -niorah)
7. Tell the story on my grave, my soul they could not save - What the bullet would not kill, the needle will.
8. You always like it undercover, tucked down between your dirty sheets
9. Stomping our feet on the wooden boards, never gotta worry 'bout locking the door
10. He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand -myrystyr)
11. And all your dreams have vanished, And you don't know what's up the bend
12. Well, it's apples in the summer time, peaches in the fall. If I can't have the gal I want I won't have none at all.
13. I'm drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin (Warren Zevon - Sleep When I'm Dead -kronob)
14. Try to kill it all the way, but I remember everything (Johnny Cash - Hurt -james_the_evil1)
15. Well, I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough (Big Brother and the Holding Company - Piece Of My Heart -peaseblossom)
16. I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal (George Thorogood and the Destroyers - Bad To The Bone -orac_zen)
17. She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff
18. When the winds of changes shift
19. Tried to please her, she only played one night stands now (Day Tripper - Paul Weller/Oasis/Ocean Colour Scene -peaseblossom mostly guessed)
20. Well, you know I even outran the hound dogs - Honey, you know I've earned your love.
Am staying incommunicado today. Just feel like being alone for a change - lately I've been spending all day in the Terran chatroom and on IM, perhaps I'm a bit burned out, I don't know.
Squish has been so good lately that I tried him offleash on the little greenspace. He's not quite ready for that yet, I find - although he did come back to me voluntarily, but only after circling the block twice at top speed. Ah well, two steps forward, one step back...
Continue to be irritated and hurt by one person's behaviour. Am equally determined not to give in, especially since he hasn't bothered to PM or anything, never mind actually attempt to keep the promise I've been waiting on for months - I did get asked what the matter was on a public forum but he knew perfectly well I wasn't going to go into it there. Chickenshit, avoidant behaviour. I expected better.
