I'll play!

1.] Select 20 of your favorite songs.
2.] Lyric search and pull out at least two lines of lyric.
3.] Put down the lyrics and let your friends list guess.
4.] Lyrics CAN NOT contain the name of the song in it, or the chorus part the name is a part of.
5.] Cross out the lyric and put the song title beside it when you've had a correct guess.
6] No Googling or searching for the lyrics! D:{



1) "I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it's like to be sad
And she's making me feel like I've never been born."

2) "In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines
We've often been told to keep up with the times
For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job
And with sliderule and stopwatch, our pride they have robbed."

3) "I get up around seven
And get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry 'bout nothin'
'Cause worryin's a waste of my time."

4) "Do you remember mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more, yeah
Open my front door, hear my back door slam
You must have one of those newfangled back door men."

5) "'Uh' said the man to the lady
'Uh' said the lady to the man she adored
And the whores like a choir
Go 'uh' all night
And Mary ain't you tired of this?

6) "I felt so good, like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days, the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine."

7) "You can't get romantic on a subway line.
Conductor don't like it, says you're wastin' your time."

8) "I saw a man on the big blue screen
He ruled the world economy
He said the rich would never concede
But someday soon he'll be put to sleep."

9) "I'll be your chauffeur on a midnight drive
It takes a miracle just to survive
Buried animals call your name
You keep on sleeping through the poignant rain."

10) "Are you sick of being pretty?
Are you sick of being cool?
Are you alive beneath your makeup
Or just an undead ghoul?"

11) "In the wilderness
Senile live the zealous
Lost to the treasures that compel us
Muted down like patriots amiss
You know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off
Those bad ideas that feel so soft
May they never forget you."

12) "Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out, there may be dogs about.
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen things that are not what they seem."

13) "There's holes in the sky
The devil punched down to the monkeys
And now they've got drive-through
And a video store where there used to be real live actors
Used to ride around here
Up on my high horse
With all the other good little butcher boys
A plagiarist of course."

14) "I'm a belly dancer
I'll shake for Arabs and I'll never care
I'm a building jumper
Roof to roof you see me flying in the air."

15) "Don't get my sympathy hanging out the fifteenth floor
You've changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door
And soon he'll get to you
Teach you how to get to purest hell."

16) "Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me."

17) "I've seen everything imaginable
Pass before these eyes
I've had everything that's tangible
Honey, you'd be surprised
I'm a sexual innuendo
In this burned-out paradise
If you turn me on to anything
You better turn me on tonight."

18) "The boys were hammered
The girls were hearty
Dancing around in couples and groups
An accident happened to young Dennis Fleming
Put his right leg through miss Finneran's hoops."

19) "City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't hold back
So all you fill the streets, it's appealing to see
You won't get out the county, 'cause you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no."

20) "I have arrived and this time you should believe the hype
I listened to everyone, now I know that everyone was right
I'll be there for you as long as it works for me
I play a game, it's called insincerity"


Have fun guessing some of these! :D
