The song lyrics survey. I can never resist a survey.

Rate: 2 Flag

Who are you?
And here comes the bishop's daughter
On the other side
She looks a trifle jealous
She's been an outcast all her life -- The Rolling Stones

 

Are you male or female?
Your hearts are so tried and so innocent
Wind your flimsy blue gowns tight around you
Round curves so comely and sinister
They blame it on you pretty girls -- Neko Case

What place do you love best?
California I'm coming home
Will you take me as I am
Strung out on another man
California I'm coming home -- Joni Mitchell

What do you look like?
Eyes like the summer
All beauty and truth -- Death Cab for Cutie

What do you want to say to your best friend?
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead -- The Beatles

What’s your best quality?
I keep a close eye on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line -- Johnny Cash

What’s your worst quality?
Jane says I've never been in love
Don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me -- Jane's Addiction

Where do you see yourself in one year?
Some say we'll all be rewarded when we reach the end
And all our lives will be recorded and replayed again
One day it hit me, this ain't a movie, now
I'm living in the moment with the friends I love -- Mason Jennings

What’s your secret?
Oh me oh my oh
Look at Miss Ohio
She's running around with her ragtop down
She says I wanna do right but not right now -- Gillian Welch

Something you like about yourself
I'm your new one
Second to no one
No sweat I'm clean
Nothing can touch me -- PJ Harvey

What does love mean to you?
Lay here my love
You're the only shape I'll pray to -- Iron and Wine

What would you say to the one who got away?
Losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everyone sees you're blown apart
Everyone sees the wind blow -- Paul Simon

What makes you angry?
You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies -- Glen Hansard

What makes you happy?
I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you'll never change -- Lynard Skynard

What makes you sad?
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach -- Tom Petty

How do you feel when you think about your biggest mistake?
You once talked to me about love
And you painted pictures of a Never Never Land
And I could've gone to that place
But I didn't understand
I didn't understand
I didn't understand -- Elliott Smith

Some words to live by
You gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own kind of song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along -- Mama Cass

Brilliant. Makes me want to got through my vinyl and create 70's rock survey
Thanks for posting this--great idea. I typed in Elliott Smith and found this!
I might reply with mostly Elliott songs. I seem to be in an Elliott vortex these days.
Now...to go to work on the survey!
