Tige (played by Dog)

Found this on a forum I frequent and have taken it upon myself to post this anywhere I can!

Here's how it works:

Take your MP3 player, iPod, or any other method of listening to music, and set it to shuffle or play random music.
Take the first line of the song's lyrics, with the first one you use being the title of the "poem"...

...after making sure the lyrics are forum-appropriate, of course.

It will look something like this:

1.

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.

Don't skip a song because it doesn't work with the previous line- that's half the fun!
You can, however, skip instrumentals - for obvious reasons. :cat-silly:

Here's examples, using groupings of eleven songs on my playlist:

On Waves Of Love My Heart Is Breaking


In the light of day
There's a leafless tree in Asia
When you're weary
The golden light above you, show me where you're from
Laugh and say I'm green
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
God save our gracious queen!
I hear the drums echoing tonight
Did you ever see a man with no heart?
You made a fool of me but them broken dreams have got to end.

Instant karma’s gonna get you

We're talking away
"On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?"
Takin' my time
"Come", they told me
I think I'm goin' back
Go to sleep and hush little darling
It's Christmastime
"Dislocate your spine if you don't sign", he says
She's got legs, she knows how to use them
Here we stand



Have at it!
How do we know where to stop in the lyrics? x3 that's my only difficulty, I never know where the 'first line' stops. xD
Nice idea!


1. You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep ('Around the World')

2. Tonight is the one thing left... ('Anywhere But Here by Mayday Parade')
3. If you wanna be my guardian angel... ('Guardian Angel by K-system')
4. A warning to the people, the good and the evil... ('This is War')
5. Ddok barohae neon joengmal bad boy... (Korean version of 'Run Devil Run')
6. When I'm falling down... will you pick me up again...? (Not sure the title)
7. Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance... ('Sorry Sorry by Super Junior')
8. This is wrong, I should be gone... ('I can't Stay Away by the Veronicas')
9. Did you see that I was hurt? Did you know that you had left me crying there...? ('Sweet Revenge')
10. Well my father says you're nifty... (...I-i don't know the title... and trust me... when the main line is 'Do you take it in @ss' do you wanna know?)
11. kirisakareta aka no sekai barabara ni natta hahen... (Japanese song known as 'Fate: Rebirth by Kaito, Len, and Gakopu the Vocaloids')


o.o My playlist is random.

Celestina: I double-check the lyrics, using a free lyrics page (or the album insert), to see how it's written by the artist.

Open your eyes

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming
Johnny was a schoolboy
It was little Christine who was leapin' all over my mind
Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
A mother was washing her baby one night,
The sound of your footsteps
If we still have time, we might still get by
I never knew how complete love could be
I saw her today at the reception
Got a feelin' 21 is gonna be a good year
SeraphicStar

*sings*

Here's to a long life

Golden Brown, texture like sun
It's a tiny town, you can hang around with me
This is not, this is not a song
Bonsoir, ton vehicule n'as pas l'air d'avoir de passager
I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby for a buck, for a buck
Oo aa oo oo oo oo aa
Lux! Umbra! Vita! Mors! Concordia! Chaos! (or something :P)
I'll sing myself to sleep
You will have a dress of white
Woke up on a good day



...that was... drunken. Also, edit'ed for failcounting.

Then edit'ed for failaragraphs.
Just about the time the shadows call (One Sweet Love - Sara Bareilles)

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find (SOS - Mamma Mia soundtrack)
You never listen to me, I know I'm better off alone (Australia - Jonas Brothers)
I, I've always been a little shy (Love You Out Loud - Rascal Flatts)
Unified, diversity, functioning as one body (Beautiful Bride - Flyleaf)
It's a long way from Miami to LA (Home - Switchfoot)
It's down to this, I've got to make this life make sense (Away From The Sun - 3 Doors Down)
On Christmas morning you woke up (I Heard Santa On The Radio - Hilary Duff)
Please don't be too long while you're gone (Hollywood - Nickelback)
If you're the bird, whenever we pretend it's summer (The Bird and the Worm - Owl City)
Are you lost in your lives? (No More Sorrow - Linkin Park)



Epic win!

Don't Lose Your Way


The power of love is a curious thing
You got me runnin goin out of my mind
People take pictures of the summer
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Outside my window is a tree
You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
We're not gonna take it
Black night is not right
I've got nothing in my head, got a floor for a bed.
The sun is gone and the flowers rot. (Breakdown)
No I ain't marching anymore (Shame On Me)
Do you know what's worth fighting for (21 Guns)
I never thought I'd die alone (Adam's Song)
Time is going by so much faster than I. (Never Gonna Be Alone)
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man (Behind Blue Eyes)
When you gonna stop breaking my heart (Stereo Love)
Never thought that I'd fall in love love love love. (Insomnia)
Life is a waterfall (Aerials)
It's been a mystery (Who's Crying Now)
I can't escape this hell (Animal I Have Become)
Tonight my head is spinning (Break)
They're gonna clean up your looks (Teenagers)
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky (If Everyone Cared)
This time I wonder what it feels like (Gotta Be Somebody)
If I fall along the way (Bent)
On my way to see my friends (7 Days)
Who's to know if your soul will fade at all? (Fake It)
This looks like incredible fun. :D Here goes,

Dweller of the Sombre Lanes

This is the land of my beginning
And although it can be argued
The sun goes down in the western sky

Out of the dark he came without a warning
The grey of evening fills the room
Another mission, the powers have called me away

I bring Vengeance!
Lead us not into temptation as we grow in fear
Iron sounds sear the wound

Far off on the horizon you can barely see the torches


This actually fits. Well... sort of. I love how the only line that can't be argued, comes right after the "it can be argued" bit. XD

1. Pale Light of Silver Moon – Falconer, 2. Emalaith – Virgin Steele, 3. Indifferent Suns – Dark Tranquility, 4. Gods of Deliverance - Gamma Ray, 5. Send me a Sign – Gamma Ray, 6. Domino, Part 1, In the Glow of the Night - Genesis, 7. Indestructible – Disturbed, 8. A token of My Hatred – Virgin Steele, 9. Fire Below – Gamma Ray, 10. Virgin Steele – Great Sword of Flame, 11. How The Story Ends – Megadeth (now, that's creepy XD)
There's something about the look in your eyes.

Here comes the sun.
I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel.
It's not the time, it's not the place
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Riding a ball and chain with a mirror on the floor.
Call the card
Oh, gotta see, gotta know right now.
I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel.
You won't admit you love me, and so
When no one looks, the clouds come rolling in.


So...here we have Echo - Incubus, Here Comes the Sun = Beatles, Hurt - Nine Inch Nails, Misery Loves Company - Emilie Autumn, Elanor Rigby - The Beatles, Window Display - Enon, Hanged Man - The Crüxshadows, Gravity Rides Everything - Modest Mouse, Hurt - Johnny Cash covering NIN (I laughed), Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps - Cake, Giants - Five Iron Frenzy.
The result is PHENOMENALLY DREARY.
To know you is to hate you

So close no matter how far
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Sometimes I wanna quit this all and become an accountant now

There might be something outside your window
All the small things
You're not in this alone

Its been 18 days
Listen when I say,
They're gonna clean up your looks

So 1, 2, 3, take my hand and come with me


1. Jackass - Green Day 2. Nothing else matters - Metallica 3. Miss Murder - AFI 4. The (Shipped) Gold Standard - Fall Out Boy 5. Planetary (GO!) - My Chemical Romance 6. All The Small Things - Blink 182 7. Skylines And Turnstiles - My Chemical Romance 8. 18 Days - Saving Abel 9. Summer Shudder - AFI 10. Teenagers - My Chemical Romance 11. Are You Gonna Be My Girl - Jet

UGH! What in the blazes is that horror? A lot of MCR in there, I hate it when too many songs of one particular group plays in a row... I mean... I PUT MY WHOLE IPO ON SHUFFLE AND YOU GIVE ME 2 AFI AND 3 MCR? X_X That kills me... Anyway... Makes no sense, unfortunately...
Challenge accepted! *grabs MP3 player*

Itsumo no shisen ni kimi ga ite kokyuu ga dekiru

Coppelia no hitsugi
I join the queue on your answerphone
Miya-hee, miya-hoo, miya-ho, miya-haha
Mr Sandman, bring me a dream
And as the raven flies she feels unwelcome
She doesn't look, she doesn't see
Zankoku na tenshi no you ni
It's 2:45, the baby takes his first breath
There are certain people you just keep coming back to
Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

Party Rock,
Written in the stars,
It's been a really really messed up week,
Please leave all overcoats, canes, and top hats with the doorman,
In a song,
Links, Rechts, Geradeaus,
The bubble is not reality
Oooh there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 wheels on a big-rig

This proves 2 things about me:
First is that I like a collection of various music sorts
And second is that my youtube favorites, when in MP3 form on WMP, should never be put on shuffle. Ever.

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time

I look at your picture
Just as I thought it was going alright
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Along deserted avenues
I can't wake in the mornin'
Lovely little lady
Only love can make it rain
Out here in the fields
Little darlin',don't you cry,
There must be more to life than this.

Juliet

Industrialization Has Crippled the Globe
Long lost words whisper slowly to me
I wanna be rich and I want lots of money
Come out Virgina don't let me wait
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
Help! I need somebody, not just anybody
Here we stand, hearts apart hearts broken in two
You think that people would have enough of silly love songs
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
Oh this is the night, it's a beautiful night and we call it bella notte
Doing this again because it's fun. x)

I see you before me, you see me before you

How did we ever go this far?
This was a triumph
Don't worry, dear Pamela, I'll do my scientific best to command your fleet
It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up
My name is Panty, the crazy sexy blondie, and I'm not dumb
The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in
Stop that time for me and my lover, so we are together, forever in love
Looking back, I know I was walking around in disguise
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white
Turn away if you could get me a drink of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded

Give me a second,
Just met a boy,
Hey i heard you were a wild one
Oh oh oh come fill my
When I walk on by
Easy come easy go
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
I think-i think when it's all over
I got that boom boom pow
A girl who is humble
I tgrew a wish in a well
the pain, dishonored, a cataclysmic dawn

Take a good look at agony
She got down on hands and knees one ear against the ground
Wake me up inside
They're high on the watchtower keeping the peace
I close both locks below the window
Welcome home! While Away!
Opa Gangnam Style!
All we are is entertainment, caught up in our own derangement
Another mission, the powers have called me away
Darrell Sanders (played by Rogue-Scribe)

Tiny Darling Ghost Holder

She Lives On Love Street
Revolution in their minds the children start to march
Well the morning was complete
Darkness at the break of noon
Load up on guns, bring your friends
I’m gonna move... way out on the outskirts of town
I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you...Fire
How your restless hungry eyes
I can see her lying back in her satin dress
You’re just another recovering heart
