Lazy Friday music meme
Today is a day where I have neither work nor school, and thus slept until 4.
....Time for a meme!
12 songs selected on shuffle in iTunes, first four lines of each - name the titles and artists and you win... um, honor? Procrastination merit points? Go crazy!
1. You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down.
-God's Gonna Cut You Down, Johnny Cash (
junebug_waltz)
2. Don't know where to run to
Don't know where to hide
See my future coming
Like the rising of the tide
But I lost you
3. Take back what they've taken
If you wanna play it safe.
Keep on money makin',
gotta save for rainy days.
4. Her breath began to speak
As she stood right in front of me
The colour of her eyes
Were the colour of insanity
-Devil's Dance Floor, Flogging Molly (
junebug_waltz)
5. Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love.
-Dance Me to the End Of Love, Madeleine Peyroux (
inmyriadbits)
6. I went to the crossroad
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above "Have mercy,
save poor Bob, if you please."
-Cross Road Blues (Take 2, not that anyone could tell), Robert Johnson (
inmyriadbits)
7. Sun-tanned, Wind-blown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are
8. Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle wheel thumpin'
9. Har sant kahe, saadhu kahe
Sach aur saahas hai jiske mann mein
Ant mein jeet usiki rahe
[Translation: Every saint and sage says
Whoever has truth and bravery in mind
They will ultimately be victorious]
- Mitwa, Lagaan soundtrack (
inmyriadbits)
10. I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm, continuing,
Tapping on my roof and walls
11. La da da dee da da da dah
Be my lover, wanna be my lover
Looking back on all the time we spent together
You outghta know by now
-Be My Lover, La Bouche (
inmyriadbits)
12. Well...I got a woman, way over town
She's good to me, oh yeah
Said I got a woman, way over town
She's good to me, oh yeah
2. Lost Woman, The Yardbirds
3. Smile For The Paparazzi, Cobra Starship
7. True Love, De-Lovely soundtrack
8. Black Water, Doobie Brothers
10. Kathy's Song, Simon & Garfunkel
12. I Got A Woman, Ray Charles
ETA1: I don't know why it keeps raining on my days off (Barton Springs, I miss you!), but there's nothing quite like watching a Texas thunderstorm roll in.
