garranThis term has gone by really quickly.
Yesterday Conor posted that old game where one presents a bunch of song lyrics and others post to guess the songs, and I realized that I had never done that and that I wanted to. So here it is, and you should guess.
In this iteration, there are twenty songs and it's first lines, rather than favourite lines. The shuffle did an unexpectedly good job of selecting a range of ancient and recent favourites, well-known and obscure.
1. We the dead, we the dead find a country road
2. The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Claire
3. Joy was her name: alive, unwed
4. Here I stand, head in hand, turned my face to the wall
5. I've got a boyfriend -- he's a bad boy.
6. Trouble falls in my home; troubled man, troubled stone
7. Hot skin in the night, in the hour when the animals are born
8. Traveller stops at the old inn yard
9. My neck hurts, 'cause I've been cutting moons
10. I left your house this morning, about a quarter after nine.
11. They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
12. If it's the secrets of life that you seek, then through a microscope you must peek!
13. Didn't know what time it was, and the lights were low...
14. People of earth, we have heard your station
15. There is no way out; the only way out is to give in.
16. I want you to know: it's not coming back
17. In coral, in grey, in submarine chambers
18. Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth
19. Muhammad, my friend, it's time to tell the world
20. Mother, don't worry; I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
