'Cause I'm sure you all wanted to play guessing games with the music I've been listening to.  :)  But stillsostrange suggested it, and well, I'm chronically short on posts so:

The lyrics meme:

I give you a few lines from the top players on my iPod; you guess them and win... glory, I guess?  Or I can tell you why I like that song or if it belongs to a character.  I played fair--pulled out all the really weird stuff (ie., filk), and foreign language music (because I don't want to figure out accents and special characters with my sooper-speshul lj lack o'skills) so y'all play fair, and don't lyrics search?

1) Teacher says that I've been naughty
I must learn to concentrate

2) We don't cry for the gods that die by our hands.
We throw stones if our gods take a stand

3) Once when I was all alone I could not find the telephone
So instead I burned your pretty home to the ground
Johnny Hollow - Worse Things (teacup_carousel)

4) This is my life my own right or wrong
Bring it on back to be.

5) It's all fire and brimstone, baby, so let's go outside.
It's all fire and brimstone, baby, I got my brand new pistol, baby
Puscifer - The Mission (stillsostrange)

6) If you come back around I may not let you in
Cause I don't understand what this pretty is.

7) If I lose myself to rhythm
Doesn't mean I lose control

8) Our love story reads like a book of lies
good intentions, better alibis

9) Cause everybody's trying to get into heaven
but nobody's dead so far.

10) Blame me for the rocks and baby bones
and broken lock on our garden
Iron & Wine - Evening on the Ground (stillsostrange)

11) blind, oh, now I see
Truth, lies, and in between

12) take an eye for one eye, a tooth for one tooth
just like they say in the bible
Tom Waits - Black Wings (stillsostrange)

13) Fire & brimstone, dirt & a headstone
bury them baby, all of our sins

14) I'm nobody's wife and I'm nobody's baby
I like it that way but then again maybe

15) The soles of my shoes are shot full of holes
and it's all downhill with a bullet

16) If everything is just the way it should be
why am I still hungry?

17) Don't cry, there's always a way
here in November, in this house of leaves we'll pray
Poe - Haunted (teacup_carousel)

18) the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart.

NIN - The Perfect Drug (stillsostrange)


19) Another day in this carnival of souls
another night's sands end as quickly as it goes

20) aftermath in an amber glow
A vodka bath for this shipwrecked soul
