I've just been saving a few excerpts from songs that get in my head - not really that have any significance or meaning, but are pretty nonetheless. I wondered if you guys had any; I was planning to put some on my wall when I get back after vacation.
Won't you look up at the skyline, at the mortar, block, and glass, and check out the reflections in my eyes? See, they always used to be there, even when this all was grass, and I sang and danced about a high-rise. (Ben Folds - Philosophy)
When was it that I became so soft? This sentimentality doesn't look good on me. (BNL - Thanks, That Was Fun)
Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head? (Bright Eyes - The Calendar Hung Itself [yay stalker-emo])
Why are you trembling so much? I don't think I ever felt so good. (Badly Drawn Boy - Another Pearl)
First with your hands, then with your mouth, downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds. I was a fool, you were my friend, we made it happen. (Bright Eyes - Take it Easy)
Your love is like a city that burnt me good. Las Vegas, I could only afford one weekend. (The Thrills - Your Love is like Las Vegas)
Remember the good old days, remember the sound? Remember the sweet mustiness underground? No, I don't feel the need for reliving. Some things are better off dead. (NoFX - We Threw Gasoline on the Fire and Now we Have Stumps for Arms and No Eyebrows [best. title. ever.])
You don't love me at all, but don't think that it bothers me at all. You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, babydoll, but you're... you're so damn hot. (OK Go - So Damn Hot)
You make me feel a little older... like a full grown woman might. (The White Stripes - In the Cold Cold Night [Actually, this lyric doesn't get me so much as the memory of a chick I know singing this just barely under her breath. It was Pretty.])
Please dont be too bad with me, god, please dont be too good... (DMB - #36)
Baby, you've got to be more discerning, I've never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding, I will be yours (Bloc Party - This Modern Love)
Almost drunkenly I did imbibe of this fantasy of you and me. (DMB - Fool to Think)
And yeah, I have kinda shitty taste in music, eat me.
