Posted by Belphegorite at 6:41am Aug 9 '09Alright folks, it's time for another one. Got some new faces; we'll see what they know. Same old drill- PM me the title and artist for each song. Partial credit given if you only know title or artist. And you can guess as much as you want. Contest will end Aug 16th at 23:30 (11:30 pm). No clue as to prize yet. I'm somewhat prize-deficient at the moment, but I'll figure something out by the end.
Once again, PM me your answers. Do not post them in this thread.
And now, da lyrics:
1. This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing, oh
This is how we'll stand when,
When they burn our houses down
This is what we'll be, oh glory
2. When first we laid eyes
I swore to no compromise
Til I felt my caress on your skin
Well how soon we were betrayed
Your sister gave us away
And your father came all unhinged
3. 'Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control
4. Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you got to fight
5. And on this day these deepened wounds
Don't heal so fast, can't hear me croon
Of a million lies that speak no truths
Of a time gone by that now is through
6. It's true I've become a skeptic
How many couples really love
Just wish I had a crystal ball
To show me if it's worth it all
7. We in the game, yo but not to be vain
I refrain from salt grains to season up my name
We entertain for a mutual game from close range
Steady aim, I drum at your head to hit the brain
8. Everything you touch, you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand, takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun
9. Move your hands on, release me in love
Weather the rain and pleasure my skin
I'm building a bridge across where we live
I've fed all the hurt now I just have to learn
10. There's a [private] by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
11. You cry out in your sleep
All my feelings exposed
There's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
12. Liberty or death
What we so proudly hailed
Once you provoke her
Rattling of her tail
13. On Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolk standing in line
They say they come to pray to the Lord
But when my little girl looks so fine
14. (Hoppe hoppe Reiter)
Und kein Engel steigt herab
(Mein Herz schlagt nicht mehr weiter)
Nur der Regen weint am Grab
15. I don't love how you love
But please don't leave me here alone
I don't feel how you feel
Well it's my fault I'm bones
16. Those who have seen the needle's eye now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was now has fled
And the masks that the monsters wear
To feed upon their prey
17. Ignorance like a gun in hand
Reach out to the Promised Land
Your history books are full of lies
Media blitz gonna dry your eyes
18. I only know what I've been working for
Another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment's not getting us anywhere
19. Stay out, stay clear, but stay close
Friends, foes, God only knows
Let's be the thorn on the rose
Time flies, make a statement, strike a pose
20. Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love, I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
21. Temptation heat
Beats like a drum
Deep in your veins
I will not lie
22. One look... from you
I drift... away
I pray... that you
Are here... to stay
23. The trees are drawing me near
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all in a sigh
24. I don't like your tragic sighs
As if your god has passed you by
Well hey, fool, that's your deception
Your angels speak with jilted tongues
The serpent's tail has come undone
You have no strength to squander
25. Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was
I love you and I'm not afraid
26. I can't forget I am a soul architect
I built the [private]s here, I built the growling voice I fear
You add it up but to do better than that
You've got to follow me, boy I'm trying to show you where I'm at
27. To this world I'm unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it costs so much to live
28. Well there ain't no use in calling out my name
Like you never did before
And there ain't no use in calling out my name
I can't hear you anymore
29. Let's take some time to talk this over
You're out of line, and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
'Cuz in the end, It's fucking useless
30. You sleep, too deep
One week is another world
Big mouth, drop out
You get what you deserve
