the song lyrics survey.
By troisieme | March 3, 2008
So I answered all the questions with song lyrics, and I just had to add it to this site so I’ll have a record of it even after myspace kicks the bucket, as i feel it inevitably will.
Answer each question with lyrics from a song; any song you want. (Per Paddles challenge, Ive answered each question first with lyrics from a showtune/broadway musical, and then with lyrics from a regular song. Took forever!)
1. Are you male or female?luck be a lady tonight (guys & dolls)
the southern girls//with the way they talk//they knock me out when Im down there (beach boys)2. Who are you? She lightens my sadness//She livens my days//She bursts with a kind of madness//My well-ordered ways// She bubbles with pleasure//She glows with surprise//Disrupts my accustomed leisure//And ruffles my ties. (a little night music)
So I’m a little left of center//I’m a little out of tune//Some say Im paranormal//So I just bend their spoon//Who wants to be ordinary//In a crazy mixed up world//I don’t care what they’re saying//As long as I’m your girl. (michelle branch)
3) Describe your neighborhood.
The sun is shining//It’s a lovely day//a perfect morning//for a kid to play//but you’ve got lots of bills to pay//what can you do?//You work real hard//and the pay’s real low//and ev’ry hour goes oh, so slow//and at the end of the day//there’s nowhere to go//but home to Avenue Q! (avenue Q) i’m rocking the suburbs//just like michael jackson did//i’m rocking the suburbs//except that he was talented//ya’ll don’t know what it’s like//being male, middle class and white//it gets me real pissed off and it makes me wanna say fuck . (ben folds)
4) How do you look?
tits! And ass! Got myself a fancy pair! (a chorus line) (kidding, obviously) I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket. (cake)raven hair, ruby lips//sparks fly from her fingertips. (eagles)
5) What is love?
thick and thin//tears and laughter//gimme happy ever after//gimme gimme that thing called love. (thoroughly modern millie) love bites//love bleeds/its bringin me down to my knees. (def leopard)
Belief makes things true//things like you, you and I//Belief builds from scratch//Doesn’t have to relax//It doesn’t need space//I’m gonna yell it from the roof tops//I’ll wear a sign on my chest//That’s the least I can do, its the least I can do (gavin degraw)
6) If you could say one thing to the person you love, what would it be? Ill give you stars & the moon and a soul to guide you//and a promise Ill never go//Ill give you hope to bring out all the life inside you//and the strength thatll help you grow (songs for a new world)
Wow, look at you now//Flowers in the window//Its such a lovely day//And Im glad you feel the same//cause to stand up//Im in the crowd//You are one in a million//And I love you so//lets watch the flowers grow//There is no reason to feel bad//But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad//Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold//But I am here to help you with the load. (travis)
7) What’s your secret?
I like to have a man for breakfast each day//Im very social & I like it that way (jekyll & hyde) (kidding. Very, very kidding.)
My heart can’t possibly break//When it wasn’t even whole to start with. (Kelly Clarkson)
Are you strong?
The courage to serve them with reliance//Face my mistakes without defiance//Show them I’m worthy//And while I show them //I’ll show me (the sound of music)
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A//I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th//Had myself a lover who was finer than gold//But I’ve been broken up and busted up since//And love don’t play any games with me//Anymore like she did before//The world won’t wait, so I better shake//That thing right out there through the door//Hell, I still love you, New York//Farewell to the city and the love of my life//At least we left before we had to go. (ryan
9) Where do you wish you were right now?
somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue//And the dreams that you dare to dream//really do come true//someday I’ll wish upon a star//and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. (the wizard of oz) (does that count as a showtune? I say YES.)
With a little bit of money we could buy us a car//With a little luck we could get away from where we are//Let’s get outta here//We’ll drive 1000 miles an hour //We’ll fly by wheat fields and water towers//We’ll go, we’ll go, and we’ll go, and we’ll go//Let’s go. (ok go)
10) What do you think about your best friends?
525,600 minutes//how do you measure, measure a year?//In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee//In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife//It’s time now to sing out//tho the story never ends//let’s celebrate remember a year in the life of friends//
Remember the love! (rent)
have I told you lately that I love you? (Michael Bolton) heh.11) Any words of advice?
If you don’t talk happy//And you never have dream//Then you’ll never have a dream come true! (south pacific)
Forget regret//or life is yours to miss (rent) Nothing unusual//nothing’s changed//Just a little older that’s all//You know when you’ve found it//There’s something I’ve learned//’Cause you feel it when they take it away//Something unusual//something strange//Comes from nothing at all//But I’m not a miracle and you’re not a saint//Just another soldier on a road to nowhere (damien rice)
12) What do you wish you were doing right now?
Come taste the wine//Come hear the band (cabaret)
I wanna getcha home and unh, double up, unh unh. (sir mix-a-lot) Let me sing you a waltz//Out of nowhere//out of my blues//Let me sing you a waltz (julie delpy)
13) What do you think about drugs and alcohol?
Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens//Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men, Pee Wee Herman//German wine, turpentine, Gertrude Stein//Antonioni, Bertolucci, Kurosawa//
Carmina Burana. (rent)
Let’s not fool ourselves in vain//This far away trip will give us pain (julie delpy) 14) If you could say one thing to your enemy what would it be?
were not sorry//hey, thats life. (urinetown the musical)
youre crazy//youre a lovely person//youre a moving, deeply maladjusted//never to be trusted//crazy person yourself. (company)
you know you could//i wish you would//come pick me up//take me out//fuck me up//steal my records//screw all my friends behind my back//with a smile on your face//and then do it again. (ryan
15) What do you usually do on Friday nights?
When a Broadway baby says “Good night”//It’s early in the morning//
(
Why can’t you be with me//Watching American TV//We’ll order in Chinese//And ask the world to stay away, please. (Leona naess)
16) Are you for World Peace?
A world that’s far away//Where life is not unkind //The movie in my mind (miss saigon)
It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//It’s a war on war//There’s a war on//You have to lose//You have to learn how to die//if you want to want to be alive, okay? (wilco)
17) What would you do if you won a million dollars?
I could have a mansion on a hill//I could lease a villa in
Baylor: People, in their own sweet way//Like to add a coat of paint//And be what they ain’t//It’s society’s mask//It’s society’s way//And the truth is that it’s all a facade! (jekyll & hyde)
Hunter:Darlin, I love you, but give me
Some days I wake up early to watch the sunrise//and I think how beautiful it is//and how my life lies before me//and I get a very positive feeling about things// (youre a good man, charlie brown) Cause if I find//If I find my own way//How much will I find//If I find//If I find my own way//How much will I find//You. (joseph arthur) Puisque ma vie n’est rien//alors je la veux toute.//Tout entière//tout à fait et dans toutes ses déroutes//Puisque ma vie n’est rien//alors j’en redemande//Je veux qu’on m’en rajoute//Soixante petites secondes pour ma dernière minute. (carla bruni)
20) Any closing words?
I don’t know why people run//I don’t know why things fall through//I don’t know how anybody survives in this life//Without someone like you (the last 5 years) Laugh when I feel like it//Cry when i feel like it//That’s just how my life is//That’s how it goes//Oh watch me go//I’m a happy girl//And I’ve come to know//That the world won’t change//Just ’cause I complain//Let the axis twirl//I’m a happy girl (martina mcbride)
