one of those meme things again

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, [livejournal.com profile] 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, [livejournal.com profile] minervacat

4. Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore

5. The moon to whom the poets croon has given up and died
Astronomy will have to be revised

6. There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James

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, [livejournal.com profile] 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, [livejournal.com profile] 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

I love that song BEYOND ALL REASON, man.

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

So! Fantastic prizes? *rubs hands together*

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
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.)

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

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

ooooh. bluezeetle@gmail.com. :)

how could there be such cruelty?

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

Re: how could there be such cruelty?

Yes, yes it does.

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

i am not, i am a chime.

it was a loud airport.

[identity profile] speshope.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
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!

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
AWWWW!

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

[identity profile] speshope.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
At least I have whined about it. Whining is purging.

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yay purging! Um, in the non-vomiting sort of way, at least.

[identity profile] speshope.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed

[identity profile] erika-sanely.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
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

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep! Willie Nelson and Ray Charles both, actually.

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

[identity profile] erika-sanely.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

Overachiever!

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.

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?

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] resonant8.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
6 is Johnny Cash, "No Good Chain Gang."

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Yes, it is.

[identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
8 should be Iron & Wine, Lion's Mane.

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2006-01-10 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
It should be, and in fact is.
