lyric game!

[schmerica]

It is Sunday and I am bored. Let's play a "guess the song" game. 15 lyrics below from 15 songs: name the song without resorting to the google machine, and I will reward you with a picture of something pretty.

GO.

1. I'm an independent motherfucker and I'm here to take your money.
2. But it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me. - "Paper Moon" by Erin McKeown
3. We conquered in the sun but we lived in the shade. - "Now We Can See" by the Thermals
4. You were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now - "Start a War" by the National
5. I'm not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldn't try.
6. Be afraid of the lame; they'll inherit your legs. - "Apres Moi" by Regina Spektor
7. It's the grammar of faith, no more rules, no restraint.
8. Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night. - "Film Noir" by Gaslight Anthem
9. And sure it hurts, but it should hurt sometimes.
10. I would marry you for money but I don't suppose you'll ever have enough.
11. Thinking about tomorrow won't change how I feel today.
12. The string section's screaming like horses in a barn burning up. - "Rumors" by Josh Ritter
13. Blood sticks and sweat drips, break the lock if it don't fit. - "Kiss With a Fist" by Florence and the Machine
14. And there's no light anywhere and nothing left to burn.
15. Let's grow old together and die at the same time. - "To Lose My Life" by White Lies

Here is a pretty picture for you! Extra points if you identify which artist I was listening to.

I have a version by Rosemary Clooney, but I suspect that's not your version.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Indeed not. I went with Erin McKeown.

You are correct! Here is a baby llama.

3 = The Thermals: Now We Can See :] Was playing that one earlier today.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I don't think I like the new album as much as The Body, The Blood, The Machine, but it is definitely growing on me.

Clara Bow agrees.

4 is Start a War, The National

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

In my head, this is an EPIC John/Aeryn from Farscape song. Uh, I don't know if that means anything to you, because I don't know if moireach ever made you watch Farscape. But &OTP;!
