Lyric Challenge

    My long weekend of working is finally over!  It's rough I tells ya.  Anyway, I have been reading some others' journals and some people get a song to play when you open up their page.  Does anyone out there know how to do that?  I would love to know how.

  Since the position of 'worthy opponent' is open again in my seemingly endless quest to find someone who wants to play me in lyric challenge, I've decided to post a little test.  Jewels, this is your oppurtunity to be cool again- though the challenge is open to anyone who thinks they can do it.  Twenty songs and I'm only asking you to get fifteen of them right.  That's only 75% for me to consider you worthy.  Seems like a deal to me.  And if anyone wants to throw down some stakes, I'm open to at least hearing them.  I was thinking if you win Jewels, I will sing your endless praise in my message board signature.  That would be sufficiently humiliating.  :-P

Sincere good luck to any and all challengers.  I don't ALWAYS listen to the same kind of music, so there might be some curveballs.

1. Godspeed all the bakers at dawn- may they all cut their thumbs, and bleed into their buns til they melt away.

2. I lay my head onto the sand.  The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.  I'm counting UFOs.  I signal them with my lighter- and in this moment I am happy.

3. Good eye, sniper.  Now I'll shoot and you run.  The words you scribbled on the walls, the loss of friends you didn't have.  I'll call you when the time is right.  Are you in or are you out?  For them all to know the end of us all.

4. Because all they know is how to put you down.  When you're there, they're your friends and then when you're not around, they say 'Oh, she's changed', well we know what they mean- they mean they're just jealous- they'll never do the things that they wish that they could do so well.

5. Remember the time we wrote our names up on the wall?  Remember the time we realized Thriller was our favorite song?

6. My ex says I'm lacking in depth.  I will do my best.  You say you wanna stay by my side- darling, your head's not right.

7.  Damn right the fire marshal wanna shut us down- get us out so someone can gun us down.

8. What's with these homies dissin' my girl?  Why do they gotta front?  What did we ever do to these guys that made them so violent?

9. There's a woman in the mirror in a fiery state- as she motions to me, I start turning away; she's lifting her dress up...

10. Your sins into me, oh my beautiful one.  Your sins into me-  As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer and I'll beg for forgiveness.  Your sins into me, oh my beautiful one.

11. My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.  So won't you kill me so I die happy?  My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury, or wear as jewelry- whichever you prefer.

12. We started livin' in an old house.  My mom gave birth and we were checkin' it out.  It was a baby boy so we bought him a toy- it was a ray gun and it was 1981.

13. So go do what you like.  Make sure you do it wise.  You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing was ever there.  You can't go forcing something if it's just not right.

14. It's all right to tell me what you think about me.  I won't try to argue or hold it against you.

15. Days are numbered 6-6-6.  And I'll begin the countdown by calling off the circus.  Somewhere in these cryptic scriptures, I find myself drifting in a sky...

16. She says that love is for fools who fall behind.  And I'm somewhere in between- I never really know a killer from a savior- til I break at the bend.

17. Like Louie Armstrong played the trumpet- I'll hit that bong and break you off something soon- I've got to get my props- cops come and try to snatch my crops.

18. I'm not gonna lie.  I want you for mine.  My blushing bride.  My lover- be my lover, yeah.  Don't be afraid, I didn't mean to scare you- so help me Jesus.

19. But I am married to your charms and grace.  I just go crazy like the good old days.  You make me want to pick up a guitar and celebrate the myriad ways that I love you.

20. I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.  I have to speculate that God Himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay.
