thete1: "Answer these using the lyrics of just ONE band."
1. Are you a male or female?
Still you're hoping that she's well-spoken
'Cause she's this year's girl.
2. Describe yourself:
Well, I used to be disgusted,
But now I try to be amused.
3. How do people feel about you?
You want to torture her,
You want to talk to her.
4. How do you feel about yourself?
Even in a perfect world
Where everyone was equal,
I'd still own the film rights
And be working on the sequel.
5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend?
Now he's telling her
Every little thing he's done.
Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks,
Now he's read every one.
6. What would you rather be doing?
Don't start me talking.
I could talk all night.
7. Describe where you live?
Everybody's singing with their hand on their heart
About deeds done in the darkest hours.
That's just the sort of catchy little melody
To get you singing in the showers.
8. Describe how you love
I miss talking in the dark.
Without you, I'm not conversational.
Without the sense of the occasional.
Without you, I miss talking in the dark.
9. Share a few words of wisdom?
If you don't know by now,
Nobody's gonna tell you.
If you don't know by now,
The shock would probably kill you.
This was rough, and probably the only reason Elvis Costello lyrics work is because Elvis Costello has written a hell of a lot of songs. Songs are:
1. This Year's Girl
2. (Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes
3. Pump It Up
4. Everyday I Write The Book
5. No Dancing
6. Oliver's Army
7. Night Rally
8. Talking In the Dark
9. 5ive Gears in Reverse

Re: hahahahahaha!
Date: 10/17/02 05:57 pm (UTC)I actually didn't listen to a lot of Elvis Costello at the time, but I immersed myself in his late-70s work when I was working on The Teeth of the Hydra (http://trickster.org/sigrid/hydra.html) and became an instant fan.
