Lyrics Meme.

[xyzzysqrl]

There's that meme going around. Post twenty song lyrics, and get people to guess where they're from. I figure, what the hell, I haven't posted in a couple of days.

I apologize for absolutely nothing on this list. If you haven't seen the guessing rules for this, just check your friends list. Someone, somewhere, has posted it for you to look at.


1. You can't hurt me with the things that you do! / I'll pick up dandilions and I'll give them to you!

2. The words are trite! The emotion's fake! / It resolves into a musical break!

3. I'm here standing on the edge, staring up at where the moon should be.

4. And if a genie were set free / And by the laws of things like that he's indebted to me / I'd bury my three wishes deep down in the ground...

5. Be yourself, don't hide / Just believe in destiny

6. I don't want to waste my time on simple little things / I'd rather stay here all the night where happy voices sing...

7. Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.

8. Behind closed doors / all alone by yourself / And you're longing inside / to be somebody else...

9. Nothing's so cold / as closing the heart when all we need / is to free the soul.

10. And the future is past / without even a last desperate warning

11. Girlfriend took me to meet her mom / Her head exploded like an atom bomb.

12. Etch out a future of your own design / Well tailored to your needs

13. I bought a little bunny / then I bought another bunny. / Don't one and one make two?

14. We've got idols, we've got dreams / Keep your eyes fixed on the screen / Squeeze your life there in between.

15. Ladies with ice cream hair / Gyroscopic pink neon beams / Everybody's happy 'bout something.

16. In this beautiful life, there's always some sorrow / And it's a double-edged knife but there's always tomorrow

17. The daily things / that keep us all busy / are confusing me

18. Anything you want to, do it / Wanna change the world? / There's nothing to it.

19. So I'm headin' out the back door and in the other side / Gonna eat the cherries up and take 'em all for a ride.

20. When I was three / My mother said to me / "Eat up your greens and say your grace" / While on TV, they put a dog in space / and left her there / you should've seen her face...

The rules aren't anywhere in my friends list. I looked in yours and it wasn't in the most recent 25 entires.

Also, I only know #7 and #11.

Ditto regarding rules. And everyone knows #7, but ONLY I KNOW #15! BWAHAHAHAAA!wait. I want MORE people to know #15. *grumble*

15's familiar, but I can't place it. :/

[dour.livejournal.com]

Wait. #2's familiar too. Is that Frank Zappa?

And a quick Google search told me why I had a glimmer of recognition on #10, too. Bah.

I recognise 7 and 18. 7 is Pink Floyd, it's from Dark side of the Moon but I can't remember the song name (I ripped the CD as a single file because I didn't want splits). 18 is from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but I can't remember the song title on account that I've not seen that film in years.

hehe, number 18 is from charlie and the chocolate factory! :P thats the only one I know, wich is sad, cause I listen to ALOT of music... you must listen to some wierd stuff, like video game music. Number 8 sounds like something Linkin Park would sing... angst

Seven is "Time" by Pink Floyd, from Dark Side of the Moon
Eleven is "I Got a Fang" by They Might Be Giants, from Mink Car
