Lyrics

So, there have been films, and film quotes, and film scenes, and now I thought it was time for a list with music. Lyric snippets are from my 'last played' list on iTunes, and if you recognise anything, you get a cookie.

1. 'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching

2. Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know

3. If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

4. Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

5. So look at me now
I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way

6. Don't you fear when you dream
Waking up is never what it seems
Like a jewel buried deep
Like a promise meant to keep

7. I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase it
You can't replace it

8. If I had the chance to start again
Then you would be the one I'd come and find
Like the poster of Berlin on my wall
Maybe there's a chance our walls might fall

9. Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

10. All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can

11. I don't know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for

When you realise that you have Creedence Clearwater Revival on your playlist, you begin to wonder whether you were born in the wrong decennia.

This is probably the last entry for a week or so - I have two exams, circa ten pages, to finish before the 12th and have asked people to hit me if I try to write anything that isn't about language acquisition or typology. And I wish I could kick my own ass for not ever learning to start in time.

My song of the moment is "L-O-V-E". I'd croon that shit day and night if it weren't for my whole work/sleep thing. I'm blaming its total control over my mind at the moment for not being able to recognize a single one of those songs.

And how have you not yet started? You do realize that the Hootch will hit you if you don't do well, right? (That's what I call myself when I'm drunk. The Hootch.)

Logan - of course I've started! Finished almost three questions! But I didn't start early enough.
The Hootch. Hmm. I don't know what to say to that. :P

V - Yay, you get two cookies! But, you really ought to know 7... ;)
I am an awesome procrastinator, aren't I?

Oh my god how could I miss that?!? Nickelback - Photograph isn't it? Your right I really ought to have known that at first look! I'm ashamed now... ;)

Är jag värdelös om jag säger att jag inte känner igen en enda av de utdragen? =)

Kat said...

Yeah, V, tut-tut. ;) But you figured it out, so you get one more cookie. *heart* that song.

Hehe, Gustav, du är aldrig värdelös. :P Min musiksmak kan sägas vara blandad, minst sagt.

Men har du inte läst? ;) The CW är intresserade av att köpa upp serien från Fox (för det är väl där det sänds nu?). Läste på aftonbladet.se och aftonbladet är ju känt för att inte skriva om skvaller ;P Hehe, oavsett tror jag inte att Josh Schwartz kommer att vara kvar och då blir det bara pannkaka av alltihop ändå.
