Posted by Belphegorite at 2:41am Mar 4 '09So I'm going to try this agin, except it's been designed as a contest from the start so no ad hoc WTF-am-I-doing changes mid game. On the advice of previous contestants, I have avoided using the titles of the songs in the sample lyrics. I have also used well-known songs that most normal people will have heard. These are not cover versions, and the songs should be popular and recognizable enough to avoid any confusion. Since it's easy this time and I fully expect that someone will know all of them, prize will go to the first person to PM me the correct title and artist of all ten songs. Since it's a third as long and 1/20th as difficult as the last one, prizes will be comparatively less cool. I'm thinking 4K$50.
Sorry Jackie. They're still depressing songs. Next time (if I do a next time)will be happy songs. Promise.
PM ME YOUR ENTRY. DO NOT POST IT. NO REALLY, DON'T POST YOUR ANSWERS. PM THEM. PM THEM.
The songs:
1. Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
2. Early in the morning
Rising to the street
Light me up that cigarette
And I'll strap shoes on my feet
3. I drive on her streets
Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
Cause she knows who I am
4. Thunderbolts and lightning
Very very frightening me
Galileo (Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo Figaro magnifico
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
5. My friend's got a girlfriend and he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way
6. Hangars sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom!
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
7. Hey
Don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out
Or looked down on
8. So if you're lonely
You know I'm here, waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
9. I've got to formulate a plot
Or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option
Failure's not
10. Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure but the pleasure's been mine all mine
