Lyrics Meme (Survey) - Getting to Know You

Answer the questions with song lyric quotes.

 

 

Who are you?

 

If you see her falling

That's just a little trick she does

She makes a dive for the pain that's calling

Then heads for the clouds like a little dove

But she can't help her laughing

She can't stop your crying days

Sometimes it hurts to be having

To hold on to a love that surely must fly away

 

She's a child of the wild blue yonder

Flying out of here

She's a child of the wild blue yonder

Born in an angel's team

 

Medicine woman raised her

Spirit father praised her

Through their love she was set free

From a baby kicking and screaming

To a full blooded woman dreaming

With the power just to be

 

“Child of the Wild Blue Yonder”  John Hiatt

 

 

 

 

 

What place do you love best?

 

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle

And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle

 

“Seattle” Perry Como

 

 

What do you look like?

 

Fat-bottomed girls

They make the rockin’ world go ‘round

 

“Fat-Bottomed Girls”  Queen

 

 

 

 

What do you want to say to your best friend

 

when the sky is falling from above you

and the wind is raging from the coast

and you want someone who truly loves you

i will be the one who loves you the most

 

“The One Who Loves You the Most”  Brett Dennen (sounds like the song is for a young daughter but the sentiment is still right)

 

 

 

What’s your best quality?

 

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

You've got a friend

 

“You’ve Got a Friend”  Carole King

 

 

 

 

What’s your worst quality?

 

What else should I be

All apologies

What else should I say

Everyone is gay

What else should I write

I don't have the right

What else should I be

All apologies

 

“All Apologies”  Kurt Cobain/Nirvana

 

 

Where do you see yourself in one year

 

I'm a mother

And I take like a mother

I understand blood

And I understand pain

There can be no life without it

Never doubt it

I'm a mother

 

“I’m a Mother”  The Pretenders

 

What’s your secret?

 

I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love

But to you I gave my affection right from the start

I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart

Yet still you get my attention

 

“The Weakness in Me”  Joan Armatrading

 

Something you like about yourself

 

We were born before the wind

Also younger than the sun

Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry

Smell the sea and feel the sky

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

 

“Into the Mystic”  Van Morrison (I was apparently conceived to this song)

 

 

 

 

 

What does love mean to you?

 

You’re in my heart

You’re in my soul

You’ll be my breath ‘til I grow old

You are my lover

You’re my best friend

You’re in my soul

 

“You’re in my Heart” Rod Stewart

 

 

What would you say to the one who got away

 

See what you lost when you left this world

This sweet old world

What you lost when you left this world

This sweet old world

 

The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips

A sweet and tender kiss

The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring

Someone calling your name

Somebody so warm cradled in your arm

Didn't you think you were worth anything

 

See what you lost when you left this world

This sweet old world

What you lost when you left this world

This sweet old world

 

Millions of us in love, promises made good

Your own flesh and blood

Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes

The beat, the rhythm, the blues

The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one

Didn't you think anyone loved you

 

“Sweet Old World” Lucinda Williams

 

 

What makes you angry?

 

I was just thinking that it'd be really cool

If I got hit up side the head with a manly tool

That way he could have nothing left to say

And have his way with me all day

 

I'm just a nice girl

Thought I had everything

Until you flashed me

And I saw what I was missing

 

I've been saving myself my whole life

For some motherfucker like you to come along

I am so desperate

I am writing you this song

And you're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

 

Chorus:

 

I get this tiny little boost of adrenaline

When I think about what I'll be giving

My own private god's gift to women

My own private god's gift to women

My own private god's gift to women

 

 

“God’s Gift to Women” Jewel   (yes, that Jewel but it’s so different than any of her other stuff)

 

 

 

 

What makes you happy

 

My soul’s gonna set the wheel’s to fly

Cause I know where I’m gonna be tonight

…………

It’s a sacred sight for those who know,

I got another field and a single road

 

 

“We Turned Into Birds (Illinois)”  Chris Bathgate

 

 

 

 

 

 

What makes you sad

 

I've been looking so long at these pictures of

you that I almost believe that they're real

I've been living so long with my pictures of you that

I almost believe that the pictures are all I can

Feel

 

“Pictures of You”  The Cure

 

 

 

 

How do you feel when you think about your biggest mistake?

 

I woke up alarmed

I didn't know where I was at first

Just that I woke up in your arms

And almost immediately I felt sorry cause

I didn't think this would happen again

No matter what I could do or say

Just that I didn't think this would happen again

With or without my best intentions

 

“Fuck & Run”  Liz Phair

 

 

 

Some words to live by

 

if you're gonna build a house

make it a home

if you're gonna pull some weight

pull your own

if you're gonna help

reach out your hand

if you're getting up

then take a stand

 

“Fight for Your Mind”  Ben Harper
