Song Poems

[sinnocence]

Put your music player on random, and create a poem from the first lines of the first twenty songs that come up. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.


Tell me


There’s a melody in my head
All the clever things I should say to you
If I should die before I wake
The lights are out and I barely know you

The tide is high but I’m holding on
Give it your all girl, give it all you’ve got
We seduce the dark with pain
You spin my head right round, right round

You don’t feel the pain
You’re standing nose to nose with me
The moment I said it
We’re falling throughout eternity

Shooting stars collide and fade away
I'm still learning how to pray
Crawling in my skin
There’s a plane flying out of here tonight

Oh, I’m overdue, give me some room
Everyone’s livin’ in ghost town
Away beyond the blue
All the same, take me away

Yeesh, this is going to be interesting.

The Bigger The Cushion...

TRANSFORMERS!

Begin your day with a friendly voice, a companion back in black!
Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeear and panic in the air!
There are those who think that I'm a little b-b-b-b-bit show!
I can feel it in the way your blood and heart beats!
Is this the real life?
Listen to the world, on the outside pressing in!
Life, it seems, will fade away...

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi,
Stormin' through the party like my name was El Nino,
I'm bringing sexy back,
Love is a razor and that girl thinks she recalls a time they found those fossilised mosquitos,
And before long, they were cloning DNA...

If we have time, we might still get by,(16)
Is this the way I want to see me?
Guilty as charged! Blackened is the end!
Hello...

I've waited here for you.

Admittedly, I took some liberties with the definition of "first lines", but I particularly like the first lines of the second stanza. Points for anyone who can tell where half of them come from without using Google.

I really like yours. And the 'bringing sexy back' line made me laugh. I think I know where only two of those lines come from. Lol, fail. NO, wait...make that three...I think..

Crawling in my skin

I wanted you to know, that I love the way you laugh.(Broken -Seether&Amy Lee)
Been scared and lonely, I've asked myself is something wrong with you?(Smile empty soul-Bottom of a bottle)
Hey you, hey you, Devil's little sister.(korn-twisted transistor)
I'm sick of the excuses that you want me to believe. (Everyone-Adema)
I am the Bullgod, I am free, and I feel all the is forsaken.(Kid rock- bullgod)
Sweet dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree. (Manson-sweet dreams)
Ohhhh Bury me softly in this womb. (Alice in chains- down in a hole)
I've been around this world, yet I see no end. (ZakkWylde-In this river)
Wew Here we go again, get up. (Droppin plates-Disturbed)
So close, no matter how far. (Staind(cover) Nothing else matters.)
This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence. (Avenged Sevenfold-Beast and the Harlot)
I wake up to find myself, after all these years. (Motley Crue- If I die tomorrow)
How the hell did we wind up like this? (Nickelback- Someday)
I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been. (Whitesnake- Here I go again)
Some folks born made to wave the flag. (CCR- Fortunate Son)
We're face to face. (Adema- Immortal)
Mama told me, when I was young, sit beside me, my only son. (Lynard Skynard- Simple Man)
I'm over it! (David Draiman- Forsaken)
In her place one hundred candles burning. (Type O Negative- Love you to death)
I hear a voice say don't be so blind. (Saliva- Always)

That was fun!!!

Rush
Justin Timberlake
Sum 41
Weird Al

and my mind's blank. I'm a big, big music chickie. My ex used to sing the first line of a song to me and make me guess which one for hours. Until I got really good at it. I love this game!

There’s no poetry between us, said the paper to the pen

Woke and for the first time the animals were gone
It ain’t no jive, I was burning alive
I must confess this blood in my chest
It get’s harder everyday, but I can’t seem to shake the pain

There’s no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
I want you between me and the feeling I get when I miss you
You’re a prison I can’t escape, You’re a decision I never make
Girl you got me tripping on sunshine

Life is in boxes in the back of our car
I look at you, you bite your tongue
I’ve been awake for a while now
Baby, you don’t even know me

Some stupid chick in the checkout line
Jack Daniels in one hand, Basic Light in the other
I’ve heard the story, I’m sure he held you down
The horizon has been defeated

I held you like a lover, happy hands and your elbow in the appropriate place
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep

A brand new baby was born yesterday, just in time
