I normally hate music memes because everyone takes it as a chance to toot their "My music selection is SO VARIED and WEIRD" horn, but this one I thought was fun.
Quote:
Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The twenty-first song's first line is the title.

Obviously skip it if it's an instrumental song.

I got:

"A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION, A LITTLE MORE ACTION"
Summer moved forward and stitched me the fabric of fall
All these roots run deep and this tree is old
On this old rock pile with a ball and chain
I have an evil plan to save the world for every man
Call me angel and take my hand
I have often walked down this street before
Unhappy, unhappy, very unhappy
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Lovers in the long grass look above them
You turn the screws, you tear down the bridge
There's a moment you know you're ******** spins and she sways to whatever song plays
Times have changed and we've often rewound the clock
Look who's evil now!
Semenai de, kesanai de, makenai de
Don't kiss me goodbye again, leave this night clean and quiet
Hush, child, the darkness will rise from the deep
I bombed Korea every night
Through the darkened field entranced
There was a time I could stop on a dime

It, uh, kind of loses it there near the end, but parts of it made sense!

Ooh. Sounds fun (no pun intended).

"I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top"
I hear your voice and the world goes away
God thinks all blacks are obsolete farm equipment
They want me to be nice, they want me to be good,
Can you remember, remember my name?
The guy upstairs is such a freak
The day is the wife whom I elude
You know how we do it
If, while you're out in space, love,
Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Pressure, pushing down on me
Six feet above, above my head
I used to rule the world
If the light does not reveal what I'm feeling for you
Your hazel green tint eyes watching every move I make
I paid my dues, time after time
I knew a girl, she was so young
You know it's true
Girl, what's come between you and me?
Moscow, queen of the Russian land,
They've got a power and a force that you've never seen before.

(It makes sense in a creepy way, if you think about it...)

Among all the songs that popped up were several audiobooks and a recording of JoCo's "Re: Your Brains" in French, which I did not include because...French. Where the hell did that come from?

Also, why is my media player suddenly dredging up all the embarrassing music I listened to in middle school and have hardly touched since? And Wicked? gonk

"Fear Not the Stillness"
The candlelight dies at the window,
Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please!
Well, I just got here from the Isle of Skye,
Hands touch, eyes meet,
So many nights I've sat here waiting,
Everybody knows you're onto something;
She stares through my shadow.
Oh, who will plow the fields now?
Gentlemen, it is my duty.
A lady sits at her own front door, waiting on her man,
Fields of green, stone walls run between--
Harking is bonny, and there lives my love,
Shuffling through the pages in my mind, I find a picture of you.
I care not for these ladies who must be wooed and praised.
I'm a hundred days at sea,
My name is William Ellis, you won't have heard of me,
Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain,
I used to be a fisherman, on the icy crust we'd ride.
Six-hundred seventy-two,
When this all began, I knew there'd be a price to pay.

"Never Close Your Eyes"

Hang up the chick habit
The songwriter's dead
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
The kisses of the sun
The cracks in the ground grin up at me
I am the candy man
Life's a show, and we all play a part
On the day we arrived on the planet
This is the man that I plan to entangle, isn't he fine
Hate the reflection that I see
Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession
Let's get down to business
Girl you're my angel
Peacocks? Sink me!
Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you
Where the exit door leads in
Oh Mickey you're so fine
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
They only want you when you're seventeen
I got a lotta time for otters

I... I think this can only safely be read as the ravings of a paranoid schizophrenic. eek

jestingly.yours

I think I have a bit of a language imbalance. You know, just a little.

We've been seeing what you wanted
