the lyrics meme, redux

[sarea]

I'm writing. I'm determined to finish this fic today. But concentrating on it and nothing else is driving me crazy. So, a distraction.

You know the drill. Give me song title and/or artist. Bonus, of course, if you get both. Also, there's a theme to this one (possibly just in my head). :D These are all on a mix CD I'm listening to constantly these days.

1) I want you, but I'm not giving in this time

2) she's cutting off her hair again, says "This is all of me"

3) she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

4) the girl on his arm will never calm his storms

5) but I can make you happy, at least now and then

6) 'cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair

7) but it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me

8) do you think how it would have been sometimes?

9) how can you just walk on by, without one tear in your eye

10) I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

11) I've waited, and given the chance again, I'd do it all the same

12) now I don't hardly know her

13) pulsing through my veins

14) pull your mirrors down, run back to the house, and let the past be gone

15) sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile

16) I can't explain where I've been

17) short and sweet to the soul I intend

18) Pistol Pete and Pistol Gin, how could you not have heard of them?

19) I'm lost, and the shadows keep on changing

Very impressive. You got all but #16. (I'm particularly wowed that you got #19.) I'm not familiar w/ that song so it's entirely possible there are the same lyrics, though. :))

Whee :)

2. Something Happens - Momentary Thing (any LoVe fan should know this!)

6. something Highway...
7. The Killers - Mr Brightside

PS. Please tell me the fic you're working on right now is the PP sequel? Pretty please? *hopeful*

Okay, first, wow, you got a lot of them. (I can't believe you got The Cars! You rock. The name of the song is -- you'll laugh -- "My Best Friend's Girl." :D) #13 was so vague I didn't think anyone would get it (but I didn't have any choice! There are hardly any lyrics to that song), so good on you.

And I'm sorry to disappoint, but I actually had another timely obligation before my Katrina fics, and that was my fic for the dgficexchange. But at least with that written, I'll be able to move on to other fics!

Is #12 Crimson and Clover by either Tommy James and the Shondelles or Joan Jett?

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Tommy James and the Shondelles! W00t, go you.

I am going to excuse myself from the race, as I'm listening to the same CD right now. :D

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

It is the right thing to do. Wow, I so rarely get to say that with regard to you...

#9 - Faith Hill with Tim McGraw, Like We've Never Loved At All... such a beautiful song.

Hmm, the only one I would be able to say is 7- Killers, Mr Brightside - I'll probably be slapping my forehead when you post the answers.

But really the point of this comment is the discovery of your 'I would take LoVe over VD anyday' icon. I really can't decide which rocks more; you or that icon :P
