one of those meme things again

[schmerica]

Hmmm. Another round of the pointless lyric guessing meme? SURE OKAY!

Guess the artist + song = win valuable prizes!

1. She knew the gun was empty, she knew she couldn't win
But her final prayer was answered when the rifles fired again
"Seven Spanish Angels" by Willie Nelson and Ray Charles, erika_sanely

2. So I'm writing you this letter
Because I think I deserve better

3. Why am I here
I've got better things to do
I could hang out on a pier down by the Hudson sniffing glue
"Wish the Worst" by the Old 97's, minervacat

4. Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
"Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole" by Martha Wainwright, erika_sanely

5. The moon to whom the poets croon has given up and died
Astronomy will have to be revised
"I Don't Believe in the Sun" by the Magnetic Fields, sprkid

6. There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
"There Ain't No Good Chain Gang" by Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, resonant8

7. And now the world is suddenly wonderful
and I think yeah I can live here again

8. And burn the scented oil that I drip into your bath
The water's there to warm you and the earth is warmer when you laugh
"Lion's Mane" by Iron & Wine, iamsab

9. I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say
"Your Ex-Lover is Dead" by the Stars, ficbyzee

10. I'm in love with illusions so saw me in half
I'm in love with tricks so pull another rabbit out of your hat

9 - Your Ex-lover is Dead, by the Stars.

<3<3<3<3<3

I love that song BEYOND ALL REASON, man.

[ficbyzee.livejournal.com]

SAME. Although it mysteriously disappeared from my computer! ;_; I still have it on my iPod, though.

So! Fantastic prizes? *rubs hands together*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I haven't actually decided what the fantastic prizes are yet! I think it will definitely involve google image search, though.

(Dude, do you want another copy for your computer? I could yousendit.)

[ficbyzee.livejournal.com]

(ahahaha, did you catch my subtle hint? :D)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*grins* I don't know your email, dork!

[ficbyzee.livejournal.com]

ooooh. bluezeetle@gmail.com. :)

how could there be such cruelty?

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

the magnetic fields plus i don't believe in the sun equals five.

Re: how could there be such cruelty?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it does.

I got your message on my phone earlier! You are a doorbell.

Re: how could there be such cruelty?

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

i am not, i am a chime.

it was a loud airport.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

Help it is almost one and I am bored and totally NOT ASLEEP and I should be asleep and I have Springtime for Hitler stuck in my head and I know none of these songs!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

AWWWW!

I am going to try to go to bed soon. But I cannot help with the Springtime for Hitler stuck in your head!

[speshope.livejournal.com]

At least I have whined about it. Whining is purging.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yay purging! Um, in the non-vomiting sort of way, at least.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

Indeed

[erika-sanely.livejournal.com]

The first one is "Seven Spanish Angels", by Willie Nelson (I think it's by him), And the forth is Bloody Mother Fuckin' Asshole by Martha Wainwright.

It saddens me that I know that only because of my parent's music collection.

(and I"m here by way of.... actually I'm not sure.)q

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yep! Willie Nelson and Ray Charles both, actually.

Your parents must be much more interesting than mine if they listen to Bloody Motherfucking Asshole.

[erika-sanely.livejournal.com]

My parents are definetely one of a kind. What scares me is sitting right next to Martha in their CD collection is the complete works of The Bellamy Brothers. That sort of placement of artists is just wrong.

3: i hope you crash your mama's car, i hope you pass out in some bar, i hope you catch some kind of flu, let's say i wish the worst for you, the old 97s.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Overachiever!

<3<3<3<3

[minervacat.livejournal.com]

i actually honest to god woke up with "wish the worst" stuck in my head this morning, before i even saw your post. i think you're sublimely sending me messages in my sleep, pearl.

<3 <3 <3

[spike21.livejournal.com]

wow, I know NONE of these in even the vaguest possible way. Do a big reveal at the end so I can chase the intriguing lyrics down on the internets?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Sure, I can do that! It's mostly random semi-obscure indie rock, but there's a tiny bit of random classic country mixed in.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

6 is Johnny Cash, "No Good Chain Gang."

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yay! Yes, it is.

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

8 should be Iron & Wine, Lion's Mane.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It should be, and in fact is.
