sorcyressSo, just *ages* ago now, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
leemoyer made a post with some of his favourite lyrics in it. This prompted me to make a meme-post, urging people to identify the lyrics that I adore and provided.
I told myself at the time that I'd go ahead and keep adding to the playlist/file, because it's one of my favourite things on my computer. And now, it's been an age, and I actually have 25 more songs for you to try and identify! (plus a super bonus all-N2N-all-the-time section because Next to Normal has eaten my brain)
So yeah. Identified lyrics are in bold. Entries with an "-Or-" just mean that there were multiple sets of lyrics I loved from that song.
26) And remember Love's a verb
27) One little girl
Is just a bit confused
Thought that she was human too
28) Let's Dance to Joy Division
And celebrate the irony
Everything is going wrong
But we're so happy!
29) Did he buy your heart with Visa
Or his platinum Mastercard?
30) And hearts getting broken
Leads to people getting cold
-Or-
So what's the Complication
Yeah it's only Conversation
31) A little bit of anarchy
But not the hurting kind
32) All I need
Is one good night's sleep
In your loving arms
To mend
33) In fighting there's no dignity
It's such a waste of time
Take my hand
I don't think God will mind
34) Don't lose your head
Because every night
Who's in your bed?
35) We got no class
And we got no principals
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes!
36) Ten years waiting for this moment of fate
Where we say the words and sign our names
If they take it away again someday
This beautiful thing won't change...
37) Oh you were the truth
Of my running mascara
The moment my mask
Was no more
38) I want adventure in the great wide somewhere
40) Freedom is being alone
I fear liberation
-Or-
And something more alive than the silence
Swallows conversation
41) That a life of great potential
Is dismissed, inconsequential
And only ever seen as being "cute"
42) I am nothing without you
But I don't know who you are
43) Wish you were here
Or else wish I was there
Don't you wish, that that wish, could come true?
I wish there were here
Or else I wish here were there
Don't you wish, silly things, like I do?
45) I'm not gonna live my life
On one side of an Ampersand
Even if I went with you
I'm not the girl you think I am
And I'm not gonna match you
'Cause I'll lose my voice completely
46) And the hardest part of life
Is to live while you're alive
47) Watch your heart when we're together
Boys like you love me forever
-Or-
Not psychotic or dramatic
I like boys and that is that.
50) If money's all you want
Then money's all you'll get
I'd rather be drunk and in love
51) Never been too good at asking
I'm more apt to do it alone
It's strange how a lot of us think something's wrong
When we can't do it all on our own
So tonight I'd like you to rock me to sleep
I'd like you to sing me a song
I'm tired of trying to figure things out
And I'm tired of being so strong.
52) Stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna think anymore
I left my head and my heart on the dance floor
53) I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know -right now you can't tell
54) Russian roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun
***
And these are all from Next to Normal, because it really is a fantastically quotable musical. Go ahead and identify the songs, one of you four people who know what I'm talking about:
39) Everything's great, why wouldn't it be great, it's great!
-Or-
And you're living on a latte and a prayer
-Or-
For what doesn't kill me, doesn't kill me
-Or-
We're the perfect loving family
If they say we're not, then fuck 'em!
-Or-
It only hurts when I breathe
It only hurts when I try
It only hurts when I think
It only hurts when I cry
It only hurts when I work
It only hurts when I play
It only hurts when I move
It only hurts when I say
44) And you find out you don't have to be happy at all
To be happy you're alive
-Or-
Give me pain, if that's what's real
It's the price we pay to feel
-Or-
The price of love is loss
But still we pay
We love anyway
48) Maybe we can't be okay
But maybe we're tough, and we'll try anyway
-Or-
We tried to give you a normal life
I realize now I have no clue what that is.
I don't need a life that's normal
That's way too far away
But something Next to Normal could be okay.
49) Natalie! And this must be Henry! A pleasure to finally meet you. Come in! Why don't you join us for dinner?
Um, dad, Henry can't really stay. He's got um..
It's gonna be good
...Homework.
It's gonna be good
...Surgery!
We'll sit right down together like a happy family should
...Rabies!!
Man, I *really* ought to make a CD that is just this much of all these songs. It would be pretty fantastic, in a seriously ADHD way.
Accusations that I only like emo lyrics and pop songs are...well...really true, actually. Whee.

MOOP!
