Music makes me so unbelievably happy



On your current computer play list, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favorite line(s) of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs. No google-cheating or looking at other people’s answers

1. He sits in the car,
walks in the park,
waits in his room as the city gets dark.
He can't understand why he's falling apart.

2. Or am I origami
folded up and just pretend
demented as the motives in your head

3. So here's to useless superannuation
And us old relics of the days of steam.
In the morning, Lord, I would prefer
WHen men with torches come for her,
Let angels come for me.

4. And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears

5. I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it’s all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won’t know
When the bell rings I just don’t wanna go home

6. Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said

7. I can live on bread and cheese.
And only on that?
Yes.
So can a rat!

8. I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming

9. And this is the smile
That I've never shown before

10. 'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

11. I will testify for you, I'm a gun for hire,I'm a saint, I'm a liar

12. I do it for the druuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs
I do it just to feel alive
I do it for the love

13. Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide

14. Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost

15. Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

16. Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages

17. Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain

18. But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscious seems to be

19. The sky became their canopy
The earth became their throne
And as their raiment ran to rags
They thought it nothing wrong

20. Throw a stone
and watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay

(answer key in the comments - cuz I know I'm gonna go all stupid tomorrow and forget what half of these are. NO CHEATING!!)

ANSWERS!!
