since it seems to be going around again.

(As seems to be the norm when I do these things, there're a bunch of really obscure bits and bobs. So you get 25, rather than 20.)

1) way up in my tree, I'm sitting by my fire
2) but I've drunk myself blind to the sound of old T. Rex (thefourthvine; You Better You Bet - the Who)
3) Would you like to go up for a stroll and keep me company?
4) everyone's heard of how you left me again/everyone's heard about my so-called friend
5) I don't think he'll be satisfied with just your soul
6) one who knows better than to let you down/let's hope there's still one left in this whole town
7) and I hate when things are over with so much left undone (quinby; Breakfast at Tiffany's - Deep Blue Something)
8) street names are changing, and I/and I will follow suit
9) and that smile on her lips, because she knows that it kills me
10) I never thought I'd need so many people
11) maybe when I'm done with endings, this can begin (schiarire; Punk Rock Princess - Something Corporate)
12) we spend all day getting sober/just hiding from daylight and watching TV (trinora; Hanginaround - Counting Crows)
13) took the night train all the way from Buffalo/just to see the midnight show (crunk_is_a_drug; Long Time Til I Get Over You - Little Feat)
14) she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous (shati; Round Here - Counting Crows)
15) it's never enough until you've got all the stuff (pagingdrfreud; Shopping - BNL)
16) and all the love in everyone/a ship of fools sailing on
17) I hate people when they're not polite (thefourthvine; Psycho Killer - Talking Heads or BNL)
18) wake from the dream with a start and a scream/and the prisoner gives out a sigh
19) if you want this world of yours to turn about you/and you can see exactly what to do, please tell me
20) newspaper taxis appear on the shore, waiting to take you away (bohemian_mark; Lucy in the Sjy With Diamonds - the Beatles)
21) jump up, look around, find yourself some fun/no sense in sitting there hating everyone
22) although he once had principles, he abandoned them/to live as a lap dog to a wealthy daughter of the revolution (bohemian_mark; Over the Moon - Rent soundtrack)
23) we're gonna go faster than light/so draw up your overcoat tight/and we'll go anywhere you want to decide
24) you pretended that you could read until you were ten
25) I give it a week until our friends the meek give it back (pagingdrfreud; Second Best - BNL)

Also: Dear God, they won't shut up! If this is the sort of thing they do all the time I'm glad we're usually spared threading it. XD (Edit: they finally did stop. 203 COMMENTS LATER HOLY CRAP. That was... I don't even know.)

... oh, come on. 22's too easy. My girlfriend's crazy protest.

[bohemian-mark.livejournal.com]

Oh, and Quin finally remembered 7. It's Breakfast at Tiffany's. Or so she says.

[minkhollow]

::snerk:: That it is.

[minkhollow]

Yeah, that is a problem with that one. It's so... obvious. But you can't argue with the random. XD

[bohemian-mark.livejournal.com]

Oh! And Roger would kill me if I didn't get 20. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Beatles.

[minkhollow]

...You seem to be hitting on all the highly metaphorical ones. (Or at least, I *think* that one's metaphorical. I could be wrong.)

[bohemian-mark.livejournal.com]

Roger says it's metaphoric of a drug high. I wouldn't know. Or perhaps he's just... confused.

[minkhollow]

::shrugs:: I'll take ignorance, in this case, I think.

[bohemian-mark.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I will too. I leave that stuff to Roger's past. Really I do. Or I tell myself that I do.

[minkhollow]

Well, one of you needs to have your wits about you, so.

[bohemian-mark.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And if it's not me, it's him. It does rather work out that way.

BNL's cover thereof, on the last one, but that's close enough.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

OMG BNL covered Psychokiller? Eeee! Would you upload it for me please please please? Because I love covers and I do not have that one and it sounds like the coolest thing ever eeeeee.
