So, I'm trying to pull an all-nighter, for reasons that are not actually too important.
Anyway, as such, there'll probably be waayyy too many posts within the next few hours.
This one is about this fun little meme from Livejournal where you take the first line of 20 songs from your iPod (on shuffle) and use them as a poem.
However, I cheat a little, and rearrange the lines, instead of leaving them as is. This is such a good way to de-stress or what have you, so I've done a few of them over the last few weeks.
(Kudos if you recognize any of the songs!)
First:
Lyrics given:
Do you wanna go slowly?
We're living in repition.
Let's dance in style.
Every afternoon when the clock strikes four.
Make me beautiful.
There's only two types of people in this world.
I can see it in your eyes.
Friends say it's fine.
If you want me to wait, I would wait for you.
Off to the new day's mist I run.
Don't tread on me.
One love, one heart.
Here we are.
I'm gonna fucking come.
In the town where I was born lived a man who sailed to sea.
I don't know who to trust.
Pain, without love.
Breaking my back just to know your name.
On your way to the best years of your life.
I am an arms dealer.

Make me beautiful.
Pain, without love; we're living in repitition.
Every afternoon when the clock strikes four.
I can see it in your eyes.
"Don't tread on me."
On your way to the best years of your life.
"There's only two types of people in the world.
In the town where I was born lived a man who sailed to sea.
Off to the new day's mist I run."
Do you wanna go slowly?
If you want me to wait, I will wait for you.
One love, one heart.

I don't know who to trust.

Second:
Lyrics given:
Give it to me baby.
So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you.
It is still me that makes you sweat?
You told me, "I see you rise."
Sometimes I get my head in a dilly.
Golly Sandra, you've grown up really crazy.
I've had a little bit too much.
I forgot what it feels like to be normal.
My tea's gone cold.
We are the things of shapes to come.
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare.
Got a crush on a pretty pistol.
I may run and hide when you're screaming my name.
Oh darlin' please believe me.
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me.
Have you ever been hated?
For the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight.
Here lies Amelia Bright.
It's been a hard day's night.
I see a bad moon risin'.

Third:
Lyrics given:
In a field outside of town.
She said she's no good with words.
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone.
Hear the sound of the falling rain.
Nothing you can do that can't be done.
Jailhouse gets empty.
Counting on different ideas drifting away.
I've been waiting a long time.
Make it count, play it straight.
Steve walks merrily down the street.
Stop stalling, make a name for yourself.
She's such a flirt and I'm the lonely heart.
You've got this new head filled up with smoke.
A dark congregation of familiar faces.
Weight of days lost hold you down.
Try to see it my way.
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
I've been let loose and now I'm crawling up the walls.
You let me violate you.
Back in black.
