I like this variation on the Friday Random Ten (seen on Trish Wilson's Blog [via Pinko Feminist Hellcat]) where one posts song lyrics from the Random Ten Songs instead of the artists and titles. Before we begin, let me share two very good posts I read today:- Suzette rhapsodizes on a life-changing American Classic
- Trish Wilson points out the glaring "duh" factor in Kansas Senator Kay O'Connor's (who, incidentally, is seeking the GOP nomination for secretary of state next year) belief that American women should not have the right to vote. Since the Senator is herself female (as far as we know) one wonders how she justifies her career?
- Will you meet your mind where the night collides
Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives
I'll just stay behind, I've met mine - From station to station
back to Dusseldorf City
Meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie
[clue: these grandfathers of techno play The Riviera in Chicago tomorrow night] - I will loose you
Existing were no soul apart
You stand on a platform
Your effigy dissolves in my hands - It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
It brings back a memory ever green. - You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea - Driving down those city streets waiting to get down
Want to get your big machine somewhere in this town
Now in the parking lot garage, I found a proper place
Just follow all the written rules, you'll fit into the space - Where thorns are a teaser
I've played a double jeu
Yherushalaim at easter
I cry I pray mon Dieu - Grey men who speak of victory
Shed light upon their stolen life
They drive by night and act as if they're moved by unheard music
To step in time and play the part
With velvet voices smooth and cold
Their power games a game no more
And long the chance to use it - Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you
Jekyll and Hyde join the back of the queue - Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more
The Friday Random Ten: Name That Tune edition
