words in my mouth

While looking through old posts of mine, I came across this:

Seeing as how I'm bored, have plenty of free time, and a bunch of blank cd's, this seems like as good a time as any to do this again. Same rules apply. I'll post my choices in about half an hour.

Who are you again?

alongwaltz. · **Posted:** Fri Dec 09, 2005 7:18 pm

alongdrive.

This is probably only temporarily. I figure nobody knew me before, so it wouldn't be a big deal if I changed my name.

1. Norman Rockwell colors fade / all my favorite things have changed

2. My head fills with heat, from the knife if your hand to my sand.

4. But if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again
After Hours - The Velvet Underground

5. See that boy, he looks so fine, but he's got a girlfriend, my oh my

6. But these are days we dream about when the sunlight paints us gold

7. The phone is ringing and the clock says four a.m. / if it's your friends, well I don't want to hear from them

8. Radio is a sound salvation / radio is cleaning up the nation
Radio, Radio - Elvis Costello

9. They say there's a sun in the sky, but me, I can't imagine why
I Don't Believe In The Sun - The Magnetic Fields

10. My opinion could change today, but I'm responsible anyway

11. For every word that you write / they won't mean as much as barricades

12. I tried my best to leave this all on your machine / but the persistent beat, it sounded thin upon listening
Such Great Heights - The Postal Service

13. You're so perfect / you're so right as rain / you make me, make me, make me, make me hungry again
Why Can't I Be You? - The Cure

14. Children behave / that's what they say when we're together
I Think We're Alone Now - Tiffany

16. Go ahead and laugh all you want / I've got my philosophy
Philosophy - Ben Folds Five

17. Got you where I want you, motherfucker, I got five up on your dime
Honky's Ladder - The Afghan Whigs

I'll let this go for a few hours without confirming or denying anyone's answers. Using the internet is cheating, of course. And if obner is anything, I'm sure it's morally upstanding.

Plus, there's at least one or two on there that won't come up in a lyrics search.

And a few are covers/have been covered. Bonus points if you can guess the correct artist whose version I was listening to at the time.

God, I think I know 4.

almost · **Posted:** Fri Dec 09, 2005 8:05 pm

8. "Radio, Radio" - Elvis Costello
16. "Philosophy" - Ben Folds (inc. Miserlou or no?)
19. "Mary Jane's Last Dance" - Tom Petty

Wow, I didn't get too many.

almost · **Posted:** Fri Dec 09, 2005 8:15 pm

A couple more.

1. "Hello Cruel World" - The Eels
4. "After Hours" - Velvet Underground
12. "Such Great Heights" - The Postal Service (ick, I wish I could erase that from my memory)
14. (Worst one yet) "I think we're alone now" - Tiffany

Great, I'm gonna go give myself a lobotomy (sp)

I knew exactly one of those.

This only confirms, again: I am not a lyrics person.

#14 should be Tommy James and the Shondells.

Gordo · **Posted:** Sat Dec 10, 2005 3:33 am

Only thing I can add right now:

17. Afghan Whigs, "Honky's Ladder"

I have both on my computer, as well as Guster's version, but I was in fact listening to Tiffany.

Sue me.

Track 1 is from E's first solo album, not a proper Eels album.

I figure Trebek would have deemed it incorrect, so I have to.

Some of the remaining ones are relatively easy.
