fun_like_thatDoes everyone remember this meme? I was re-tagging all of my entries last week and stumbled upon my entry from last year with this meme and I'd love to see it float around again, especially since there was some great stuff to come out of this last time.
1. Put your playlist on shuffle (or not, whatever) and pick a couple lines of lyrics from 20 songs that come up.
2. Post them for other people to base a drabble on.
3. Drabble on!
1. Green is the colour of my envy/ it's the colour of fame/ so I'm going to write it down/ going to scream it out/ and I'm never going to be the same again- Tegan and Sara "Superstar"
2. As you're living through another year/ Oh, what a waste of time it is/ To indulge inside of bliss K's Choice "Another Year"
3. I'm fooling somebody/ A faithless path to roam/ Deceiving to breath this secretly/ A silence, this silence I can't bear Portishead "Numb"
4. I missed you and I must admit/ I kissed a few and once did sit/ On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap/ And later with him, had a nap The Who "A Quick One, While He's Away"
5. Feels like reckless driving when we're talking/ It's fun while it lasts, and it's faster than walking/ But no one's going to sympathize when we crash Ani DiFranco "Falling is like This"
6. can't count to/ all the lovers i've burned through/ so why do i still burn for you/ i cannot say Sun Kil Moon "Carry Me Ohio"
7. Well, I lost track, and then those words were said/ You took the wheel and you steered us into my bed/ Soon we woke and I walked you home/ And it was pretty clear that it was hardly love Death Cab for Cutie "Photobooth"
8. I can offer you lies, I can tell you good-bye/ I can tell you I'm sorry, But I can't tell you the truth, dear Barenaked Ladies "Shoebox"
9. Like an echo pedal, you're repeating yourself/ You know it all by heart/ Why are you standing in one place?/ Born to blossom, bloom to perish Gwen Stefani "What You Waiting For"
10. He will be reborn/ from 1970's porn/ Wearing tubesocks with style/ and such an innocent smile Rufus Wainwright "Gay Messiah"
11. You are the bearer of unconditional things/ You held your breath and the door for me/ Thanks for your patience Alanis Morissette "Head over Feet"
12. Goodbye, goodbye/ To all the fake people in my life/ I never wanted you around me/ So be on your way now TLC "Case of the Fake People"
13. Oh great calamity/ Ditch of iniquity and tears/ How I abhor this place/ Its sweet and bitter taste/ Has left me wretched, retching on all fours/ Los Angeles, I'm yours The Decemberists "Los Angeles, I'm Yours"
14. How you would walk the fashion mile/ Hand me down and call it style/ Your boots were scratchy black/ Your hat was just a hat/ The lips on you were plain/ The better to a kiss sustain Metric "On a Slow Night"
15. you look so good in the shoes of an outcast/ i kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last/ but then i knew you i knew you i knew i really knew you Stars "What I'm Trying to Say"
16. Now that you've made me want to die/ You tell me that you're unboyfriendable/ And I could make you pay in pain/ But I could never make you stay Magnetic Fields "All My Little Words"
17. If there was a better way to go then it would find me/ I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me/ Be kind to me or treat me mean/ I'll make the most of it I'm an extraordinary machine Fiona Apple "Extraordinary Machine"
18. Could have knocked off the evening/ But you lonelily let him push under your bone/ You let me down
It's no use deceiving/ Neither of us wanna be alone/ You're coming home Damien Rice "Lonelily"
19. i can see like nothing else/ in me you're better than I wanna be/ don't think 'cos i understand i care/ don't think 'cos i'm talking we're friends Sneaker Pimps "6 Underground"
20. oh baby you're young but that's ok/ what's give or take 9 years anyway?/ i'll bet your last cigarette you won't regret my time/ i wanna be with a guy like you/ so uncomplicated, so in tune Liz Phair "Rock Me"
