Metallica - Harvester of Sorrow
And the grave-diggers smiling
At his reflection in his spade
Hes visiting the seediest
The shallowest of graves
The vocal chords of elephants
And the characters of mice
Theyre singing whisky, whisky
So good they named it twice
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
Liars' Bar - The Beautiful South
Headed down south to the land of the pines
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road
And pray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
I can see my baby tonight
"...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?
Wagon Wheel - Old Crow Medicine Show
Next song:
Everywhere I go someone's tryin' to be my girlfriend's best friend
I'm tryin' to pretend I'm relaxed but I'm playin' castanets with my knees
I try to be cool and give her space
But a guy's always there ready to jump right up and take my place
Everyone in this room seems to want to make a big fool out of me.
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Barenaked Ladies ~ Get In Line
I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
The Day I tried to live - Soundgarden
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
There is no darkness, there is no light, there is only Lasagne!
Hurt - NIN (and Johnny Cash)
And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see." And I saw. And behold, a white horse.

It amazed me how musically knowledgable people on this site are so i thought i'd create a bit more of a challenge.(dont know if this was done before, if it was my appologies mods)
What you do is someone writes down a line or verse from a song and you have to guess what the songs title is. Artist is optional. (if you are like me most of the time you'd know the song but not the artist!)
I'm going to start of with an easy one to get the ball rolling;
when life is jolly rotten, theres something you've forgotten
"Come away O human child!To the waters of the wild, With a faery hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than you can understand."
W.B.Yeats

my offering of lyrics:
She came from Providence
Up in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
Heavy in the air...
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Although I should be too young to know this
The Last Resort by the Eagles ?
Here's mine:
Great idea for a thread, Niamh.

* Paradise Lost by John Milton
the show must go on - queen
...here's mine..
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door...
It Aint me babe - Bob Dylan and countless others
You ask me if Im happy now
Thats good as any joke Ive heard
It seems that since Ive seen you last
I done forgot the meaning of the words
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
From the Bottle to the Bottom - Kris Kristofferson
I'm inflamed with desire and its spreading like wildfire
She doesn't know it but she'll soon be mine
Its just a question of time
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
Rubella - Smoking Popes
Next:
Hey Lady you've got the love I need
Maybe, more than enough.
Oh Darling Darling Darling, walk a while with me
Oh you've got so much

Over the Hills and Far Away - Led Zeppelin
"Out in the street, it's six am
Another sleepless night
Three cups of coffee but I can't clear my head
From what went down last night
No we won't have our own little ways
But somehow we keep it together
You hear me talk but you don't hear what I say
I guess it don't even matter"
Blue Morning, Blue Day ~ Foreigner
But you've got too much to wear on your sleeves
It has too much to do with me
And secretly I want to bury in the yard
The grey remains of a friendship scarred
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
