twenty song poem meme

[threeplusfire]

Put the music on shuffle and write down the first lines of twenty songs. This meme is too good to pass by, I think. In other news, I listened to snips of the new GNR album and it did not seem great. I downloaded "Better" because it sounded like the best song and I figure I can give Axl a dollar for making me wait fifteen years for the album.

Hey there's no rules today
Ring them bells, you heathen, from the city that dreams
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell.
Shine the headlight straight into my eyes
I walk a lonely road
I watch the streets glow before me
Saturday night burns a redness on my face,
you're just another pretty face in a room full of whores
The sun is up.
Reach out, touch faith -
I know your life is empty.
Hey you, have you felt like this before?
I pressed my face against the glass.
Come with me,
late at night when you're sleeping.
Anyone who's ever had a heart
let me take you on a trip.
I wish I had not woke up today.
I want a girl.
I want to be much more like you.

I contributed punctuation. Damn that's a lot of Depeche Mode in there. This is better than all the awful poetry I wrote at thirteen.

I should go to bed.

:) mine didn't turn out as well as yours but it was fun making it :)

fireflies inside of a mason jar
well I'm going back, goin' home again
sat at my window, watched the world wake up this mornin'
I'm a shadow since you're gone
darling quit confusing me with your wishful thinking
come away with me in the night
damn baby all I need is lil bit
god is love through all your trials and tribulations
it was on one fine March morning when I bid New Orleans adieu
the innocence of sleeping children
there's a bluebird at my window
that gipsy woman told my mother
the iron hand, it ain't no match for the iron rod
Friday night i'm goin' nowhere
While under a silvery moon, a neon flower born of the desert
Early this morning I saw my baby makin' love to the garbage man
Moves like a fist through the traffic
my days, they are the highway kind
baby can't you see I'm callin'
he made me laugh, he made me cry
