rock n roll
Lyrics game, because what better use for a Sunday afternoon?
These aren't completely random, as always; they're all from my frequently-played playlist. Therefore, anyone who knows my taste really well has an unfair advantage. Two of these are covers are more well-known originals; you get extra points for knowing who's singing. The same artist doesn't appear twice.
1. I cannot fall in love, you'll never see my eyes, I will not call you back, I cannot do the smurf -- Rilo Kiley, "The Frug",![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

3. I can gather all the news I need on the weather report -- Simon & Garfunkel, "The Only Living Boy in New York",marginalia (this one there is no yousendit link for because I bought the song off iTunes)

6. I met up with my common sense, and I knew her by the rose in her hair -- Bishop Allen, "Things Are What You Make of Them",dredpiratejenny
7. I called your name in a whisper so you wouldn't hear me and turn around -- Kasey Chambers, "You Got the Car",minervacat
8. Oh God, the man I love is leaving, won't you take him when he comes to your door? -- Sarah McLachlan, "Hold On",runpunkrun, m4a file
9. And she's awfully blunt with no tact, you gotta like a girl like that -- Sarge, "Fast Girls",mosca, no yousendit link

13. Come on now, honey, bring it on, bring it on, yeah, just remember me when you're good to go -- Dandy Warhols, "We Used to Be Friends",fox1013

16. Nothing lasts forever, we'll always be together, nothing lasts forever, my heart is yours -- Headstones, "Blonde and Blue",shellmidwife

I know what you listen to. I just rarely recognize song lyrics because I don't know the songs.

#8 is Sarah McLachlan-- I think it's "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy," but it might be "Fear."
#9 is "Fast Girls," by Sarge. I love so much that you listen to the various Elizabeth Elmore projects.

And man, Sarge. I think The Glass Intact is seriously one of my favorite albums ever.
