[March Hare]

"I Go To The Barn Because I Like The" - Band Of Horses

~

Bury me in satin,

Lay me down on a bed of roses

[VividBubbles!]

If I Die Young by The Band Perry

***

Bow you're head, they're pious here

But you and I, we're pioneers

[LapidotLover22]

Wild Things by Alessia Cara (easily my favorite song by her, although I had to double check bc apparently I've been mispronouncing pious forever )

~~~~~

Sixteen, and you never even judged me

Matter fact I always thought you were too cool for me

Sitting there in the caravan

All the nights we were drunk on the floor

And yet you understand 

Yeah, like no one can

[Chanel_no5]

It's "Army", Ellie Goulding, right?

 

Your footsteps are heartbeats, there's knocking at my door
I swore that I won't let you in
Love's got its heroes, but I know that I just can't hold out forever
 

[gingerdean]

I Come Undone- Jennifer Rush

 

 

Life is fine every time 

Thoughts of you leave my head

I was wrong, now I find

Just one thing makes me forget 

[castiel_angel]

Ub40- “Red Red Wine”

 

 

Once I rose above the noise and confusion

just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

I was soaring ever higher

but I flew too high

[VividBubbles!]

Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas

***

I gotta holler just to be heard

With every word, I drop knowledge

I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal

Tryin' to reach my goal my power of speech, unimpeachable

[Reader]

My shot- Hamilton

Hello again, it’s you and me,  

kinda like it always used to be,  

sippin wine killin time

tryin to solve life’s mysteries

(First season Criminal Minds fans: This song was used in a horrifying but amazingly creative way! I know y’all remember.)

[ThePokeFan599]

Make a Memory- Bon Jovi.

We're caught in a trap

I can't walk out

because I love you too much baby.

[MyOwnPrivateSFC]

Elvis Presley, “Suspicious Minds”

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

and i DON'T WANT THE WORLD TO SEE ME

COS I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'D UNDERSTAND

ahem. This is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

 

From my chest, to my head
To the breath on your neck
Silhouettes and regrets
Now replace you instead

[SneezyHolmes]

'Stand Atlantic -- Sidewinder'

I laughed harder than I should have at that picture, Puddin'!

-----------------------------------------------

So, let those funny people smile
How can there be a virgin isle with
Diga diga doo, diga doo doo

[Chanel_no5]

Diga Diga Doo - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (but as far as I understand, there are several versions of this song..?)

 

You brought about my ruin 
You spread yourself over my skin
Down my legs, over my mouth
You steal everything but you don't get my love 

 

[gingerdean]

Dark Hearts and Heartbeats -Shirley Manson

(I actually used to think this was Garbage until I double checked, and oops, wrong. Solo effort by Manson. Gahh, I love her )

 

 

When you hit the ground, check the lost and found
'Cause it ain't my problem now
I can't carry it all, I've got a lot of troubles of my own
It's all over the yard, in the trunk of the car

I'm packin' it in, so come and get it

[March Hare]

"Baggage Claim" by Miranda Lambert!

From Milwaukee Mr Fritz
often dines me at the Ritz
Mr Fritz invented Slitz, and Slitz must pay...

[MyOwnPrivateSFC]

“Always True To You In My Fashion” by Cole Porter (from his musical Kiss Me, Kate)

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

You Don’t Own Me by Grace and G-Eazy 

It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
 

[RediChalyn]

Not sure the name but that's from Lion King!  

 

Lay down your sweet and weary head
Night is falling you have come to journey's end
Sleep now and dream of the ones who came before
They are calling from across a distant shore

[MyOwnPrivateSFC]

@Reader, that wasn’t at all the answer I was expecting, even though it’s clearly correct! I had no idea there was more than one version (the Lesley Gore one I was expecting)! Now I need to look up “your” version.

(Also, @RediChalyn, just so you know, the idea is to identify the song, not just where you know it from. Sorry if I confused this by mentioning Kiss Me, Kate.)

Twenty One Pilots! "Lane Boy"! I saw them live right before Blurryface came out and blew them up!

Here are lyrics from one of my favorite songs! All the lyrics are good, I had trouble picking the ones I wanted:

I've been waiting many hours
By the silent moon
In the wild, the jungle flower
Your toxic perfume

Tell my friends I'm gone, it's true
I've passed on now
To the eyes of a dark, lost blue

 

Firelight by Young The Giant

Here’s Mine:

I talk a lot of shit when I'm drinking, baby
I'm known to go a little too fast
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy
But they're the only friends that I have
I know I don't know you
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl

[Chanel_no5]

The Vamps - Can We Dance (I had to look that one up, but I thought the lyrics sounded familiar. )

Alright, let's see if anyone gets this one... please tell me someone gets this one...

 

This time, we know, we all can stand together 
With the power to be powerful 
Believing we can make it better 
We're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son 
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

 

[Wig_Powder]

Castielangel accidentally skipped over RediChalyn's song, so because I want to get everything up to date (even if I have to use Google to do it)...

Reader's song was "Be Prepared", by Jeremy Irons (and is indeed from The Lion King),

RediChalyn's song was "Into the West" by Annie Lennox (from Lord of the Rings),

and Chanel_no5's song is "You're the Voice" by John Farnham.

And my lyrics are...

There was nothing in sight, the memories left abandoned,

There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow,

And the ground gave in between where we were standing,

And your voice was all I heard, that I get what I deserve.

[gingerdean]

Linkin Park - New Divide

 

I like to play the drums.

I think I'm getting good, but I can handle criticism.

I'll show you what I know

And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.

This is Doctor Worm by They Might Be Giants, right?? I don't think I've heard that in almost 10 years!! 

This group is super popular in Portland but I don't know about the rest of the world!

"Can you catch up to the cars on the highway?/ Run them down/ Can you throw yourself off of an airplane?/ Breath ripped out" 

[Wig_Powder]

I had to look the lyrics for this one up, but I only did it because I enjoy this sort of game and I'm hoping I can help bring it back. The song is Signal, by Sylvan Esso.

And my lyrics are:

There are ends we've all got

That can justify the means,

We negotiate

Then fabricate

The facts behind the scenes.

Keeping all the details vague and secrets hidden

Safe from the balance sheet of those you trust.
