Lyrics Quiz: Best of 2013
I quietly ended my monthly lyrics quiz earlier this year for last of interest from me and people wanting to participate. I thought I would resurrect it here again at year’s end to highlight some of my favorite lyrics from the past twelve months. You are welcome to guess which songs they belong to in the comment section, both title and artist, and I will give you credit if correct.
1. If you’re still breathing then you’re the lucky one because most of us are breathing through corrupted lungs.
2. I’m kind of over being told to throw my hands up in the air. So there.
3. May you only need the light when you’re burning low. Only miss the sun when it starts to snow. (Let Her Go - All the Little Lights - Passenger; guessed by Kevin)
4. Life’s a game made for everyone and love is the prize. (Wake Me Up - Avicii; guessed by Kevin)
5. The art of MC’ing mixed with da Vinci and MC Ren and I don’t mean Stimpy’s friend. Been public enemy since you thought PE was gym. (Berzerk - Eminem; guessed by Kevin)
6. Mama’s hooked on Mary Kay, brother’s hooked on Mary Jane, daddy’s hooked on Mary two doors down. (Merry Go 'Round - Kacey Musgraves; guessed by pcacala)
7. Irish and Proud, baby, naturally, but you got the luck of a Kennedy. So grab the wheel and keep holding it tight.
8. And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love. Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above. But if you close your eyes, does it feel like nothing changed at all?
9. We’ve come too far to give up who we are. So let’s raise the bar and our cups to the stars.
10. Put your record on, let the band play the song all about all about love and believing. Good for you.
11. I’m gonna paint you by numbers and colour you in. If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall.
12. You’re like a mirror reflecting me. Takes one to know one so take it from me. You’ve been lonely, you’ve been lonely too long. We’ve been lonely, we’ve been lonely too long.
13. I’m in misery where you can seem as old as your omens.
14. I’ve got my ticket for the long way ‘round, two bottles of whiskey for the way. I I sure would like some sweet company.
15. You’re like 22 girls in one and none of them know what they’re running from. Was it just too far to fall?
16. What would Jeromey Romey Romey Rome think?
17. I told you on the day we wed I was gonna love you ‘til I was dead. Made you wait ‘til our wedding night. That’s the first and the last time I’ll wear white.
18. I don’t mind sentimental girls at time. Miss don’t walk away.
19. Come find me know, we’ll hide out. We’ll speak in our secret tongues. Will you come back to my corner? Spent too long alone tonight. Would you come and brighten my corner?
20. It’s a fake, it’s a con. The nature of the road you’re on. Let me see your skeleton well before your life is done.
21. It’s not just all physical. I’m the type who will get oh so critical. So let’s make things physical. I won’t treat you like you’re oh so typical.
22. All I am is a man. I want the world in my hands. I hate the beach but I stand in California with my toes in the sand. (Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood; guessed by pcacala)
23. Tonight’s it’s me and you alone. Won’t make a call, won’t even write a song.
24. And the memories we makde will never be lost, no. And the look on your face we both knew the cost. But the wind, yes the wind keeps howling.
25. What rhymes with hug me?
