framlingemWhy yes, Mum, I would jump off of a cliff if everyone else was doing it.
1. I wanna drive to the edge and into the sea/I wanna see how lucky lucky can be.
2. How many times did I commit the stars to your eyes? (At least one of you had better get that one)
3. She tells the story of a shotgun wedding/ and the birth of a stillborn child/ She was only thirteen/ Her little body couldn't handle it/ babies watching babies die.
4. On yon bonny banks and on yon bonny braes, where the sun shines on _________
5. But we sure had a good time when we started way back when / Morning walks and bedroom talks, oh how I loved you then.
6. I left you laughing with a stranger, but I confess that I knew she was going to bring you pain/ When she offered you a needle it was long and it was shining.
7. He spoke of lands not far/ Nor lands they were in his mind / Of fusion captured high / Where reason captured his time.
8. Turn off your headlights and go slow/ I don't want to let up...
9. How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots?
Darcy got it! Thank U, by Alanis Morissette
10. Smile fades in the summer/ place your hand in mine/ I'll leave when I wanna. (I also really like the drum loop)
11. my memories are white and black /but the song's the same /it plays in every part of me
12. You lived your life/Like nothing else mattered
Darcy got it! Torn to Tattered, by Carbon Leaf
13. It was dark all around/ there was frost on the ground/when the tigers broke free/ and no-one survived/From the Royal Fusiliers, Company C!
14. It's a feeling like you're oh-so-glad you came
15. As you float I wash away that part of me/ that lures the devil in the deep blue sea.
Darcy strikes again! The Sea, by Carbon Leaf
16. The man in the moon, oh he can't help but cry; there's no-one to sing me lullabies.
17. You couldn’t stand to be near me, when my face don’t seem to want to shine.
Bunch of people came very close, but Lethendy got it right! "Push", by Matchbox 20.
18. Light up, light up / As if you had a choice
19. They crawled out of the woodwork / and they whispered into your brain
Yay to telescope13, who knew that this is Sir Elton John's beautiful "Candle In the Wind"
20. The next night he's over and over and under / and after he's finished she lies there and wonders.
Tckma got this one (or close enough) - it's "The Flag", courtesy of Barenaked Ladies
21. Sail on silver girl / Sail on light
Roomongrandst got this one - Bridge Over Troubled Water, by Simon and Garfunkel.
22. Jeannie sings on the corner / what keeps her from dying? / Let 'em say what they want, but she won't stop trying
Darcy beat roomongrandst to it - Ordinary Day, by Great Big Sea (of course)
23. Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground /where an old man of aran goes around and around /
and his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night /for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right. (If you can give me both the original singer AND the people who did an awesome dance remix of this one, you get bonus EM!points which automatically make you very cool)
It's "The Riddle" - BoA got the remix by Gigi D'Agostino, but I'm still looking for the original! C'mon, it's less than forty years old. Not that hard.
24. Oh farmer, farmer, put away the DDTs, don't care about spots on my apples, oh leave me the birds and the bees. (again, give me orginal as well as a cover and you get points)
Darcy again - Big Yellow Taxi, original by Joni Mitchell, and she gave me covers by Counting Crows and Amy Grant.
25. My dad used to tell me I was lazy/I got dance moves like Patrick Swayze /I'm the left over turkey for the world's mayonnaisey/The star next to the moon
and a bonus because I love this line
26. And the plaster tented from your fist / In the hall where you had your first kiss
1. I wanna drive to the edge and into the sea/I wanna see how lucky lucky can be.
2. How many times did I commit the stars to your eyes? (At least one of you had better get that one)
3. She tells the story of a shotgun wedding/ and the birth of a stillborn child/ She was only thirteen/ Her little body couldn't handle it/ babies watching babies die.

Date: 2004-12-16 11:40 pm (UTC)23. The Riddle - Gigi D'Agostino (I assume this is what you mean by the dance version, because my version is REALLY dancy)
24. Joni Mitchell is the one and only. The Counting Crows and Vanessa Carlton can suck it, leave the perfection alone.
