Lyrics quiz...

[jenk]

This is the kind of quiz I love. I got it from buzzwords. THe idea is to answer the questions using only lyrics from only one artist. buzzwords used Springsteen lyrics, so of course I did too, and I was also trying to avoid the songs buzz used :)

Now I'm wondering if I can do it using Chris (Gaia Consort)'s stuff. Some questions, like describing where you live, would be easier with Chris' stuff. Others, I don't know. Hm.

It's kinda long: decide if you want to see it...


1. Are you male or female?

Well my name is Catherine LeFevre [...]
- "Car Wash", Tracks

2. Describe yourself:

I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
I strode all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched [...]
I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath
I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the Cosmic Kid
Well my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars
- "Growin' Up", Greetings from Asbury Park

3. How do they feel about you?

I had a job down in Darlington
Now I don't go
Some nights I go to the drive-in, some nights I stay home
I followed that dream just like those guys do way up on the screen
[...]
When the promise was broken I cashed in a few of my dreams
- "The Promise", 18 Tracks

4. How do you feel about yourself?

Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But hell, a little touch-up
And a little paint...
- "Human Touch", Human Touch

Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
You spend your life waiting for a moment that just won't come
Well don't waste your life waiting
- "Badlands", Darkness on the Edge of Town

It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
- "Badlands", Darkness on the Edge of Town

5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend?

You shot through my anger & rage
To show me my prison was just an open cage
There were no keys, no guards
Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars
- "Living Proof", Lucky Town

You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
And it's alright with me
- "Thunder Road", Born to Run

6. What would you rather be doing?

I wanna be where the bands are
- "Where the Bands Are", Tracks

7. Describe where you live.

Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find
Down here it's just winners & losers
and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
- "Atlantic City", Nebraska

Rich man, poor man, begger man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, indian chief
One thing in common they all got
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Man at the top says it's lonely up there
If it is, man, I don't care
From big white house to the parking lot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
- "Man At The Top", Tracks

(Yes, I may have spent too many years at Microsoft...)

8. Describe how you love.

It ought to be easy, ought to be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
You got to learn to live with what you can't rise above
- "Tunnel of Love", Tunnel of Love

9. Share a few words of wisdom.

You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
You ride to where the highway ends & the desert breaks
Out onto an open road you ride until the day
You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay
- "The Price You Pay", The River

It's a sad man my friend who's living in his own skin
And can't stand the company
- "Better Days", Lucky Town

...that feeling of safety you prize
Well it comes with a hard hard price
You can't shut off the risk and the pain
Without losing the love that remains
We're all riders on this train
So you been broken and you been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't...
You might need somethin' to hold onto
When all the answers they don't amount to much
Somebody that you can just talk to
And a little of that human touch
- "Human Touch", Human Touch
