One of those song memes

[rebness]

This post is 1/3 because RL has swallowed up any imagination I have at the moment, 1/3 because I couldn't get any of tsaress' songs, 1/3 because I like any excuse to write out favourite lyrics and 1/3 because I can't count.

Guess the Lyrics and Win a Prize*

1. We'd like to go to town, but we can't risk it
2. Como se llama, senorita?
3. No-one cared until the night she went out walking all alone... and never came home
4. How I wish that I could feel the good beyond the poison in us like you do
5. Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me
6. Yes, I admit that I'm a fool for you
7. I try to get to my taxi - man in a tracksuit attacks me
8. And someone is playing a game in the house that I grew up in
9. Welcome to the human race
10. If your new love ever turns you down, come back, I will be around
11. I flirt with every flighty thing that looks my way
12. Oh, what an exit! That's how to go!
13. So if I can shoot rabbits, then I can shoot fascists
14. And I know that it's true, I can tell by that look in your eyes
15. I was swimming in the Caribbean
16. It's such a lovely day, and I'm glad you feel the same
17. Well, if the birds can reach the sky to this land, I'll be with you
18. Papa's looking for mama, but mama is nowhere in sight
19. Stoned in a lonely town
20. Your lips a magic world, your sky all hung with jewels

*Possibly a lie

13 is the Manics and If you Tolerate This. And that's all I know.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Still, very correct.

aack! i can hear the "someone is playing a game in the house that i grew up in" but i don't know what it's called! aaargh!

[funnynamehere.livejournal.com]

Oh right, I know that one as well. It's The Killers and Somebody Told Me I think, though I could be wrong since all their songs are bland nonentities that seem to merge together.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

LMAO. It is the Killers, but a different song.

I'd be good at this if I actually listened properly to the lyrics instead of hearing what I want to hear. For instance, I swear that David Bowie is singing about a chap called Roger Kettle when he's actually singing "project central". Bah!

[avariecaita.livejournal.com]

AHahahahaha! Best. Comment! Esp since I make up words to songs because it's more fun that way.

Spacky: I've got nothing. What the mother of kettlefish do you listen to? LOL

[rebness.livejournal.com]

You two are nuts. :p

I listen to music that rox0rs. Seriously. (Actually, some of these were embarrassing. This is what happens when you hit random on your player.)

[tsaress.livejournal.com]

damn the only one I could get was 7

and don't blame that you didn't get any of mine.

This is so annoying; I know that one about 'welcome to the human race', but when I Google it, it just lists other bands I haven't heard of. I know it's something recent that I liked...
