but keep them high heels on

[schmerica]

Lyric game, with an extra boon this time: you get one, you get to request either a sentence or two of fic or an icon. Or if you want something else equivalent, go ahead and try it; we'll make a deal.

Or I could just give you a comment with a picture of a baby animal like usual. UP TO YOU.

1. Oh darkness, I feel like letting go
2. You said you'd never leave me, but you lied lied lied lied lied
3. It is brave to feel, it is brave to be alive
4. And you're the reason I'm losing all my sleep at night
5. We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
6. Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dying
7. Gets good grades and plays guitar, thinks he's cool but really is not
8. He tried some string and paper clips, hey, he even tried his own two lips
9. I just made love with your sweet memory one thousand times in my mind
10. Light my candles in a daze cuz I've found God
11. Oh, it was a funny thing, to be the ones to've seen
12. I will hide what you want hidden and I'll roam if you say roam
13. Ain't I always nice to your kid sister? Don't I take her driving every night?
14. I don't wanna hear how many friends you have, I don't have any anymore
15. Nobody heard his dying words, ah but that's the way it goes

5. Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benatar. (I'd like a Stella icon, please.)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Correct!

[china_shop]

Eeee, yay! Perfect! Thank you! *beam*

13. Ain't I always nice to your kid sister? Don't I take her driving every night?

That's "Put Another Log on the Fire" but I'm darned if I can remember who recorded it. Does that count?

15. Nobody heard his dying words, ah but that's the way it goes

"Pancho and Lefty"! God, I loved that song. *hearts* I remember learning to play it on the guitar. By Emmylou Harris, in case that matters.

I suppose it could be seen as ironic that I'm listening to the Headstones' demo CD as I type this, specifically "Skinmealive". Heh.

Oh, and if I've won anything? A wee tiny snippet of Dief fic or icon or a pic of cute puppies would do me a world of good at the moment.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Hee, actually that is not the version of Pancho and Lefty I have, but the two of them together counts for you! I am going to sleep now, but I will do this in the morning.

*tries valiantly to up comment stats!* :D

1. "Full of Grace," Sarah McLachlachanlhahchan.
6. "I Want You To Want Me," um, the version I have is Letters to Cleo but I know that's a cover.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

That's okay -- the Letters to Cleo one is the one I was playing!

[kerrypolka.livejournal.com]

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

1. Full of Grace - Sarah McLachlan
5. Love is a Battlefield - Pat Benetar
7. Reject All-American - Bikini Kill

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

All right, and the Bikini Kill one you got to first.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

I'd love a Bikini Kill-centric icon, actually.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[misspamela.livejournal.com]

#10 is "Rooster" by Alice in Chains!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Actually, it is not! Sorry.

[minervacat.livejournal.com]

4 is "can't get a line" and since it's only on alive & wired, i have no idea if it's actually the 97s or they're covering someone, but i bet you're listening to their version ANYWAY. :)

i would like a picture of KITTENS.

[corinna-5.livejournal.com]

Actually, it's on Satellite Rides as well, and the band wrote it.

[minervacat.livejournal.com]

goes to show you how much i know! and for all i call satellite rides my favorite disc, too - i skip that track on alive & wired as it is, i must have blocked it out on the album. *ashamed*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

[minervacat.livejournal.com]

YAY, KITTENS!

# 10

[olympia-m.livejournal.com]

oh, no, it's the Nirvana thing, isn't it? Lithium...

I feel even older (and more miserable)

Re: # 10

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Aw, I did not intend this to be a depressing experience.

Re: # 10

[olympia-m.livejournal.com]

No, I'm sorry - it's not this. It's me.
I'm sorry....

[lunaris1013.livejournal.com]

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Sorry, no! The icon was a fakeout!

[miss-pryss.livejournal.com]

#12 is the Magnetic Fields... is it called "You're My Only Home"?

I wanna FRASER icon... or a baby animal. Your call.

[laughingacademy.livejournal.com]

Rats! That was the only one I recognized, and you beat me to it. *is sad*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

[miss-pryss.livejournal.com]

OMG I can't believe I forgot to come back here and THANK YOU. It's lovely. At last I have an icon for confessiony posts!

[rustler.livejournal.com]

[foreverdirt.livejournal.com]

2 is Captain Ahab - You Never Ever Ever.

I'm just happy to have been reminded of the existence of this song. Now if you'll excuse me while I'll enqueue it and prepare to dance goofily round my room...

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! I wasn't sure if anyone would get that one.
