Lyrics Quiz.
Jun. 16th, 2006 12:29 pmAll right, y'all. I'm bored. Here's lyrics from 20 songs iTunes played me. Guess the song title and artist (no fair searching). All comments are screened.

1. There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill,
Two hundred and fifty men,
But only twenty-seven lived to walk back down again
2. Well, I was on the roof of my car, playin' my air guitar,
Nobody could tell me I wasn't born to be a star
(answered by smonsterbite)
3. Little pictures in my head are turnin' inside out again ,
'Cause fuckin' up takes practice I feel I'm well rehearsed
4. Steel-toed boots on the accelerator,
Oil leakin' outta the pan
(answered by fashionista_35)
5. She was physically forgotten,
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
(answered by datlowen)
6. Yeah I love my lady, she's long and lean,
You mess with her - you'll see a man get mean
(answered by brendalu)
7. Busted hands and broken land,
And black gold turned to sand,
And the whiskey is the only well that's runnin' deep
(answered by smonsterbite)
8. I got this old TV that you left behind,
And I've got a better me that took so long to find
(answered by smonsterbite)
9. A thousand people sweltered in the gym,
Then I heard someone whisper, "Hey, that's him!"
10. I like pie, I hope to die, just to get a load of this.
When you get high, doggone the pie
(answered by brendalu)
11. Which is ridiculous 'cause witches they were
Persecuted Wicca good and love the earth and
Women power and I''ll be over here now
(Okay, that's a gimme)
(answered by la_perkins)
12. Maybe someday I'll have the strength to run into the man that I once was,
But right now I think I'll walk into a crawl
(answered by smonsterbite)
13. Turn the juke loud as it can go,
Pack 'em inside, this our last show
14. Trying to make a living out of black land dirt,
We'd get together in a family circle singing loud
15. We got Budweiser beer, Jim Beam, Jack,
Tequila and lime
(answered by smonsterbite)
16. These are the contents of my head,
And these are the years that we have spent,
And this is what they represent
(answered by datlowen, partial credit to serenada)
17. I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico,
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
18. Sometimes you would send me a birthday card,
With a five dollar bill.
I never understood you then,
And I guess I never will
19. Too late to save myself from falling,
I took a chance and changed your way of life
(answered by la_perkins)
20. If my heart could beat, it would break my chest -
But I can see you're unimpressed
(answered by la_perkins)
My iTunes selection at work is deliberately limited. I suppose that'll change once I get my iPod....
