Best Song Lyrics Ever Meme

Hokay, so, [livejournal.com profile] leemoyer was posting about some of his favourite song lyrics, and asking people to provide their own. This has inspired me to make a meme out of that thing, using twenty-five of my favourite song lyrics.

Name the song and artist/show these all come from, why don't you! For reference, stuff that's been guessed is bolded

1) Angry men don't write the rules, and guns don't right the wrongs
The Ballad of Booth, Assassins

2) Isn't it enough to know that I ruined an elmo*
Making a gift for youuu!

Muppet Laboratories, Rob Balder
(filk of Skullcrusher Mountain, Jonathan Coulton)

((Yes, you can get points for naming what the song is if it said 'pony' instead of 'elmo'))
((Also, this may be *slightly* biased towards Janny. *grins*))

3) Do you wanna carve
My name into a wall
Right next to yours, inside the shape of a heart?

All of the Above, Big City Rock

4) He said 'hey listen to me', Stay sane inside insanity
Eddie, Rocky Horror Picture Show

5) The opposite of war isn't peace, it's CREATION
La Vie Boheme (reprise), Rent

6) Where sir
And when sir
I couldn't be tense-er

Shy, Once Upon a Mattress

7) I think that this line's mostly filler
Walk Through the Fire, Once More With Feeling

8) Everybody's got the right to some sunshine
Not the sun, but maybe one of it's beams!

Everybody's Got the Right, Assassins

9) Downtown, where the guys are drips
Downtown, where they rip your slips
Downtown, where relationships are no goooo

Skid Row (Downtown), Little Shop of Horrors

10) Oh there's one hundred ways
That we can bruise each other
And tear each other's sweet hearts apart
But let the rhythem of the pain
Beat its desolate refrain
And let the miracle of love keep a shining through your heart.

Miracle of Love, Brad Sachs

11)
I play the cello!
Awesome! What is it?
[Makes cello motions]
A saw!
No dude, it's like a giant violin

Status Quo, High School Musical

12) There is no future
There is no past
Forget regret
Your life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today

Thank god this moment's not the last

Finale B, Rent

13) The story never changes,
just the names and faces
Like Tommy and Gina
they're living on a prayer

Did you just say that?

Punk Rock 101, Bowling for Soup

14) Because I can
'cause no one can stop me
'cause it makes up for things I lost
Because I'm addicted to bad ideas
And all the beauty in this world.

Addicted to Bad Ideas, World/Inferno Friendship Society

15) And I don't understand, and she tries to explain
And all her mascara runs down in her pain

The Babysitter's Here, Dar Williams

16) I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is

The Longest Time, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies (and, you know, others, but this is the version I like best)

17) Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat
Out Tonight, Rent

18) Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'Cause it hurts like hell

Underground, Labyrinth

19) Don't stress
Relax
Let life roll of your backs
Except for death and paying taxes
Everything in life is only
For now

For Now, Avenue Q

20) Why would we rather put ourselves through hell
Than sleep alone at night?

21) One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention
Was I really seeking good?
Or just seeking attention...

No Good Deed, Wicked

22) In this beautiful life, there is always some sorrow
And it's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow

Ordinary Day, Great Big Sea

23) I need not to need
I've always been the tower
But now I feel like the flower
Trying to bloom in snow

The Tower, Vienna Teng

24) We got a call
To write a song
About the war in the gulf
But we shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings
So we tried
But gave up
'Cause there was no such song

Gulf War Song, Moxy Fruvous

25) Because every new car you buy
It makes the poor baby Jesus cry

Hokay, awesome things:

Walking.
Walking for three hours
Walking for three hours in a long convulted path that takes you past all the cool peoples houses.

Seriously. I have had a Good Day. For some reason I'm not quite sure of (I can't find any of my friends and don't feel like slacking online?) I decided to go for a walk. Which, after the first hour or so, can probably be considered a Walk.

I started out at home. From there, I wandered towards Magus's house, waved as I walked past, passed by a truly fabulous lavender house, wandered back towards home in a very "not quite the right way" manner, (Apparently the Sacremento Av in Somerville does not actually connect to the Sacremento Av in Cambridge.) and finally found myself in an "under the train tracks" tunnel where there was a mural of underground things. Including FRAGGLES! Greatest. Mural. Ever.

From there, I found myself at a pie shop. No, seriously, There was not a barber shop nearby, so I felt perfectly safe wandering inside. Unfortuantely, they didn't have a buisness card to add to my collection. But I know where it is so I can go back and visit sometime when I have monies.

Sidenote; GOD I LOVE THIS CITY! Seriously. How many of you live in a city with an honest to god PIE SHOP? Although, technically the pie shop is Somerville, so it's *technically* not my city, but shh. The pie shop is closer to me then Porter Exchange, it counts.

Lessee...after pie shop, I saw a street name that seemed familier and slipped through and wound up on the street that goes behind my school. So I walked back towards the school, waved at Dominik's house as I passed, and, instead of doing the intelligent thing and go back to my room, I kept walking.

I walked allllllll the way up to the Bawston Dave and Diane's house, which is an awesome walk besides the last 100 feet or so, which is all very much uphill. Since no one was home, I waved, and had a moment of decision. I could go home OR I could climb 94 steps and be at the castle that lives practically next door to D&D.

As you can guess from the fact that I knew how many steps it took, I visited the castle. OHMAN, CASTLE! (Okay, so technically it's more of a tower I suppose, but don't knock it.) The castle is at the top of a hill, and I could see way far out over Boston. If it had been a clear day, it would have been even better --NTS: I need to come back out there when all the leaves have gone off the trees to see if I can spot my house and/or Porter Exchange.

Castle, to home, in a circular manner. I passed by the street to home, waved to Dominik's house again (because it was on the way) wandered past Lauren and Emily's house to see if they weren't home, waved (since they weren't), walked up to Mass Av, walked back down the correct street, waved to Madelines house, and walked up five flights of stairs.

It was an AWESOME day. Mile estimate is about five, cool things estimate is about a billion. OH! And I found the shop where I am buying Harena's christmas present. :D

Andyeahstuff.

Lyrics of the day:

Because I can
'Cause no one can stop me
'Cause it makes up for things I've lost
Because I'm Addicted to Bad Ideas
And all the beauty in the world

(World/Inferno Friendship Society, Addicted to Bad Ideas. Win!)

Alsoalso, in a fit of True Awesome, somebody clever on the city planning committee made all of the Cambridge street signs green and all the Somerville street signs blue. This makes it just that much easier to get unlost, which is nice.
