Drunken Poetry: A Playlist Game

[Thomas Baker]

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!

[Thomas Baker]

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.



Don't Stop Me Now (Queen). Nothin' But Blue (Brian May). That's All (Genesis). Children Of The Grave (Black Sabbath). The Sentinel (Judas Priest). Still Burnin' (Queen+Paul Rodgers). Love Machine (Uriah Heep).Love Reign O'er Me (The Who). Baba O'Riley (The Who). Wishing (Electric Light Orchestra). There Must Be More To Life Than This. (Freddie Mercury).

[Shennen]

According to You

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
This is the clock upon the wall
You lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
So here I am doing everything I can
What's this?
Love of mine, someday you will die
You're so hypnotizing
"Ha-ha! Well now, we call this the act of mating!"
Sometimes in our lives
Tell me that you're alright
I'm Coming Home

(Didn't work quite as well...)

[Rodger Rigot]

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, You don't have to go oh oh oh oh

Take me to the room where the red's all red,
Like a million little doorways,
Oh mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law.
Well, I can see what you mean,
Something in the way she moves,
I've got so much left for you darlin'.
Energy is contagious,
Suddenly there is music in the sound of your name.
Some folks are born, made to wave the flag.
What would you do if I sang out of tune?

It was actually getting pretty coherent until the end there xD

I could take up knitting to feel better

Mama's got a problem
Don't you love the yuletide fun?
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
The office door closed early
Welcome back winter, once again.
Life inside the musicbox ain't easy.
You never heard my song before
Working from seven to eleven every night
Go, while the going is good.

Hush little baby, don't make a sound
If you wanna live, then live
Everything's so Blurry and everyone's so fake,
Memories, memories, memories, memories,

These days of rage have left their stain on me,

Using my collection of Tim McGraw songs that I got from Chance/Mills.

He hasn't seen a drop of rain in months it seems

A 1986 Harley,
6 lanes, tail lights,
Spent 48 dollars last night at the country fair,
I am just a blank sheet of paper,
I think something's broken,
My Old Friend,
Every Friday Night There's a Steady cloud of dust,
Robert Johnson went to the crossroads, so the legend goes,
I've never had no one,
I got an empty feeling when that moving van pulled up.

They Fall In Line

Hold me under the water
A revolution has begun today for me inside
Every time we lie awake

I Thought That I Was Too Old to Believe in Fairy Tales[/b]

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock,
Years ago, when I was younger,
Do you hear me, I'm talking to you.
Tell me what's wrong with society,
I fall asleep at the telephone.
They say that hate has been sent -
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
I wanna have you, 'cus you're all I've got.
I am stuck in LA,
If you're the bird (whenever we pretend it's summer) then I'm the worm.

Maybe he's right..

Move slowly
This is me for forever
Cut my life into pieces
You come to me with scars on your wrist
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
Yeah, can you feel it, baby?

I'm your arms dealer
I was going to spell it out for you

Me gustaría inventar un país contigo,
We've been seeing what you want,
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Ci sono cose che nessuno ti dirà,
Norge er et vakkert land,
I never had no one I could count on,
Lasciatemi cantare con la chitarra in mano,
Hands on the mirror,
There is a weight,
if you do this.
