Posted by Belphegorite at 8:00am Feb 5 '09I really tried to get the right lyrics, but the lyric websites were rubbish. As such I went with liner notes for albums I have and made my best guesses based on repeated listenings for the rest. My apologies if any are incorrect.
I also made every effort to pick unique songs (except in the cover section); that is, there are no covers that I know of or the covers are distinct from the original. So hopefully the artist will be clear in each case. If this is not so, then again apologies.
Songs sort of go easier to harder for the first 20 songs, with another random 5 thrown in at the end. Of course easy and hard depend on what you listen to.
I think I'll make a contest out of this, so PM answers. First one to get them all right gets a prize of some sort. Maybe nekkid pichurs of IJ. If it's really that important to you, then you can cheat. But really, why?
Mostly I'm just curious to see who recognizes what. I doubt anyone will get them all (except with cheating) so I may just go by high score after an indefinite period of time X.
So, title and artist for each song. I'll let you know how many are correct.
Example: In the midnight hour she cries more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cries more, more, more
Rebel Yell-Billy Idol
1. I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again
This happens all the time
It's detachable
2. And the devil's not in the details
No the devil is in my pants
And it's shoot first, apologize later
Another quick end to a short shot romance
3. Drowning past regrets
In tea and cigarettes
But I can't seem to forget
When you came along
4. We were strangers and we were pilgrims
Role models of the family man
Pioneers and patriarchs, patriots and matriarchs
Staking out the promised land
5. I've given up on social niceties
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys
Along with all your records I can't stand
You never even listened to any one of them
6. Turn the tables with our unity
They're neither moral nor majority
Wake up and smell the coffee
Or just say no to individuality
7. Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saint's above?
You came to me
8. Well I tie myself off
Shoot it in my veins
I feel like Marlon Brando
And I kill another day's pain
9. There's really nothing left to say
But this couldn't wait another day
Something confusing but okay has got me in its sway
This is my getaway
10. Violent eyes, my hands like steeple
Tell me lies with a tongue like a needle
And every word shot down my throat
11. Somewhere in the fire of love, our dreams went up in smoke
We danced beneath the silver rain
Upon the field of green, while time was just a joke
And now the feeling's just the same
12. Turn on the radio, nah fuck it, turn it off
Fear is your only god on the radio, nah fuck it
Your savior, my guillotine
Crosses and kerosene
13. I should have thought things through
I'm holding out, I'm not getting an answer
I wanna do right by you
I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster
14. Here it comes, you'd better use it
You're gonna need her when you least expect it
Money runs, what do you spend it on?
You are too busy just to take what you need
15. I feel a stirring deep within
Slowly picking up momentum
Like a tide coming in to shore
Over and under in its course
16. Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
17. And all the bright stars
Came out and showed in his defense
Rehabilitation, what a joke
Is it off to Betty Ford for the hand he broke?
18. So we took cover from the pouring rain
In an old, broken down forgotten place
Up on high ground where the flood wouldn't drown us
19. Here and now I feel that I'm embracing freedom
Even though I may be alone, but that's okay
And looking out into a different sky it seems so easy
Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade
20. Vater Unser, dein ist das Reich
Und die Kraft
Und die Ehrlichkeit
In Ewigkeit, Amen
21. And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame that I can read your mind
And all the things that I repaired
Can't know that smile that we both shared
22. Ich durfte keine Nippel lecken
und keine Falte zum verstecken
Niemand gab Mir einen Namen
Gezeugt in Hast und ohne Samen
23. This is a warning
To everyone who thinks that I'm in mourning
You know they're wrong in fact I'm reassuring you that I'll be true
Won't let no one mess with you tonight
24. Wem der grosse Wurf gelungen
Eines Freundes Freund zu sein
Wer ein holdes Weib errungen
Mische seinen Jubel ein
25. Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
This is my last resort
No, wait. THIS is my last resort
Covers: The next 5 songs are all covers. Unlike the previous songs, which should only have one artist, in this section list the title and ALL the artists you know who cover this song.
Example: Breaking rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won
I Fought the Law-The Clash, Green Day, Mike Ness
1. As I walk along I wonder what went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things we've done together
While our hearts were young
2. Would you die tonight for love? (Will you join me in death?)
Would you die? (Will you join me in death?)
Would you die tonight for love? (Will you join me in death?)
Join me in death
3. There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger still is talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with a big iron on his hip
4. The world was on fire, no one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
5. Open fire on my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defenses are down, a kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own

#25 has caused some confusion, so I have provided an additional hint in my reply to DV.
