valis2I've forgotten the rules and I can't be arsed to go find the words to copy-paste here. I think you're supposed to put your mp3 player on shuffle, write down the first line, and people guess the artist, right? Okay, that sounds doable.
Oh, grah. I have no headphones. I'll just have to listen to the song in WMP after it comes up on my Zen.
Oh, and because there are a bunch of songs I don't even listen to, I will be culling anything that I've never heard before. I have almost 4000 songs in it, after all. ETA: And if the title is the first word in the song, I'm skipping those, too. Like "Don't Lose Your Head," by Queen, whereupon the phrase "don't lose your head" is said six times before any other lyric. Same with "Ophelia" and "Suede" and a bunch of others. Also, I might have some of the words wrong because I mishear stuff all the time.
1.So I'm back to the velvet underground/back to the floor that I loved/to a room with some lace and paper flowers ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

2. Given any day there's a jet flying somewhere/she bought a ticket and she vanished in the sky/how was I to know she was leaving in the morning/I never heard her go/she never said goodbye
3.We are waiting/for the summer/sun will bring back/treasures for us ashkevran
4. It lay buried here/it lay deep inside me/it's so deep I don't think I can speak about it
5.We were at a party/His ear lobe fell in the deep/Someone reached in and grabbed it midnitemaraud_r
6. Father, I killed my monkey/I let it out to taste the sweet of spring/wonder if I will wander out/test my tether to see if I'm still free
7.I get up in the evening/and I ain't got nothing to say/I come home in the morning/I go to bed feeling the same way/I ain't nothing but tired quoshara
8. You said you wouldn't and I want to know why/and don't make no excuses/you promised you promised you better explain/though I don't what the use is
9. I am a genius, I am a diamond/my pretty tongue gives you a freezer burn/I think above you in three dimensions/come in here, you can never return
10. Flaxen hair blowing in the breeze/it is time for the geese to head south/I have come with my mustard seed/I cannot accept that she will be taken from me
11. Congratulate you/said you had a double tongue/balancing cake and bread/say goodbye to a glitter girl
12. Me and Clef on this track what you want/Heard you wanna battle us both I hope you don't/hand me my mic, two woofers in my trunk (huh)/sound like gonk-ga-gonk-ga-gonk-ga-gonk-ga-ga-ga-gonk (c'mon)
13.Rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert/I pick up my money and head back into town/driving cross the Waynesboro county line/I got the radio on and I'm just killing time dbassassin
14.Dark in the city night is a wire/steam in the subway earth is afire/woman you want me give me a sign todayiamadaisy
15. I wait at the table and hold hands between strangers/and wait for you to join the group/the tambourine jingle-jangles/the medium roams and rambles
16. Six by six from wall to wall/shutters on the windows, no light at all/damp on the floor you got damp on the bed/they're trying to get you crazy get you out of your head
17. The static grows and kills the message/unclear as the wind blows/thin whispers through all the wreckage/you said you planned to fail/looking so safe but sorry/so be sure to bang the nail/and seal the exit out
18. Is there a word or right to say/even in this old fashioned way? Go make your move, girl/I'm not coming home
19. Life is a waterfall/we're one in the river/and one again after the fall/swimming through the void/we hear the word we lose ourselves
20.I come from down in the valley/where mister when you're young/they bring you up to do like your daddy done/me and Mary we met in high school/when she was just seventeen/we'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields were green dbassassin
