Memes are much better than revising, I find.

Via [livejournal.com profile] matociquala: Put your music-playing device on random and list a lyric or two from the first 25 songs to play. (I excluded instrumentals and songs where I don't know the lyrics and can't easily find them.) Implore your f-list to guess the songs (without googling!), because you are bored and don't want to revise right now. Whoever guesses the most songs correctly gets a literary cookie!

And no, I didn't cheat. iTunes really gave me this many gothy songs in a row. It was also being a smartass with the German. Also, 3400 songs in here, and it repeats artists three four times. :P

1. When you walk through the garden, you gotta watch your back. Tom Waits - Way Down In the Hole, [livejournal.com profile] sovay

2. And if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever. I have no doubt from what I've seen, I have never wanted more. VNV Nation - Solitary, [livejournal.com profile] mekkavandexter

3. eyes' design: intake
have closed forever
lips’ purpose: to mend
sealed in silence

4. this apparition in moon beams bathed, a voice like wind through trees beckons

5. I fold all reason, screaming your name. I fold your heart and feed on your pain.

6. slips her dress like a flag to the floor, and hands in the sky surrenders it all

7. recognize and respond, you didn't have to twist my arm (This is a cover)

8. Those halves are developing well. My wounds are remainders, painful as hell.

9. She talked about the armies that marched inside her head, and how they made her dreams go bad

10. The quill from a buzzard
The blood writes the word
I want to know am I the sky
Or a bird

Tom Waits - Dirt in the Ground, [livejournal.com profile] sovay

11. Ich mal ein Kreuz für dich
Auf einem Himmel breit
Zu zweit ein Leben weit

12. Das Ich - Cabaret I don't know the lyrics, the liner notes are packed, and no one has not bothered to put the new album's lyrics on their site yet.

12. non nobis, domine, non nobis, sed nomine tuo da gloriam (The trick with this one is guess the artist, not the song.)

13. Tear this bitter fruit to mess, wrap it in your soiled dress. Now you must spit out the seeds. Marilyn Manson - Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World, [livejournal.com profile] cathellison

14. all I've undergone
I will keep on
(This one is practically an instrumental, but the lyrics are in there)

15. Love for the party love for the nation
Love for the fix for the fabrication
Love for the corpse for the corporation

16. :Wumpscut: - Ohne Dich I don't know the lyrics and Rudy is mumbling.

16. Alle warten auf das Licht
fürchtet euch fürchtet euch nicht
die Sonne scheint mir aus den Augen
sie wird heut Nacht nicht untergehen
und die Welt zählt laut bis zehn

Rammstein - Sonne, [livejournal.com profile] atheilen

17. Where's your brand new pretty wife? She might still be inside. Either save her or your cocaine from the fire.

18. Tie hallowed bonds around your hands. Kneel before this seat of shame, to gods as lost, gods as blind, gods of suffering and pain.

19. I can feel they're here
I can feel the cold
I can't fight for long
This machine runs down

20. I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this
Moby - Extreme Ways, [livejournal.com profile] hangedwoman

21. I shake and stare at the watery moon with the same desire as the sober Philistine. And I shake. David Bowie - The Voyeur of Utter Destruction (As Beauty), [livejournal.com profile] sovay

22. What, first things first, man, you can't fight the curse
You can't call the doctor, you can't call the nurse
You got that Louie Loco on the side of your purse
And those tight mint sixties, about to make me burst

23. Everett Lee broke loose again
It's worse than the time before
Cause he's high on potato and tulip wine
Fermented in the muddy rain of course

24. All the clues are added up to make a wider scheme
The patterns are so intricate like opiated dreams

25. HMB - Return I don't know the lyrics and can't find them online.

25. La Floa Maldita - The Strongest Man I can't ever find their lyrics online either.

25. Edward Shearmur - Ben Escapes Instrumental.

25. Now the bell-tower is ringing and the night has stole past
O Lucy, can you hear me, wherever you rest?

And two bonuses, to make up for the German.

Bonus #1. Come hear the voices in my head. They say you want to hurt me and they want you dead. Combichrist - Blut Royale, [livejournal.com profile] mekkavandexter

Bonus #2. Elvis are you out there somewhere, looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud, and king of the mountain.
Kate Bush - King of the Mountain, [livejournal.com profile] cristalia
