Since Ralph claims that he "knew at least 7 [of the songs from the playlist quiz] off the top of [his] head, and could have gotten a few more if [he] had time to think about it"--and since that post drew more comments than all the quotes of the past two months put together--I've decided to do one more round. (And if that sentence exhausted you, it's Buechner's fault.) I'd also like to add a little twist: the songs will be ranked, with the more obscure ones worth more points.
1 Point
1) "Good times come and good times go / I only wish the good times would last a little longer."
2) "Salvation is a fire in the midnight of the soul / It lights up like a can of gasoline"
3) "I don’t believe you, you’re not the truth / No one could look as good as you / Mercy!"
4) "I'd do anything just to fall asleep with you / Will you remember me? 'Cause I know I won't forget you"
5) "I wanna publish zines and rage against the machines / I wanna pierce my tongue / It doesn't hurt, it feels fine"
2 Points
6) "It didnt seem to bother him, he didnt seem to mind / His cathartic life just buried somewhere in the timeline"
7) " 'It's time to fight back', that's what Huey said / two shots in the dark now Huey's dead."
8) "I don't need somebody new on the television, 'Send your money and we'll send you a new life' "
9) "You know he's been around the world / Last night he flew to Baghdad in his magical armchair"
10) "We love like God but you don't belong here"
3 Points
11) "Another evening falls, she finds me here at the window / She doesn’t need to ask, it’s always the same thing / She’s waited four long years, I know there can’t be many more"
12) " 'You're day will come, hold on.' / I'm not that strong, at all"
13) "Who'd have thought it would end like this, without even a good-bye kiss? / No one could say we didn't try / The years flew past, we tried to make it last / But the love got left behind"
14) "So I keep telling myself something's going to change / Maybe I'll get lucky then I can smile again / 'Cause that's what I want to do / I want to smile for you"
15) "We went to the Philly Pizza Company and ordered some hot tea / The waitress said, 'Well no, we only have it iced' / So we jumped up on the table and shouted, 'Anarchy!' "
4 Points
16) "We could get a little place down by Gilmour Park / You could do a little time and save my broken heart"
17) "When I come home feelin' tired and beat / I go up where the air is fresh and sweet / I get away from the hustling crowd / And all that rat-race noise down in the street"
18) "He climbed his ladder / There was nothing there and now it's a long way down"
19) "If you take me out, please don't forget to take me home / If you take me to a party, please don't forget the microphone / If we take my car, then please don't try to touch the radio / 'cause the midnight sun is burning, bringing peace into my soul!"
20) "I'm so tall, can't get over me / I'm so low, can't get under me"
