The Lazarus Ten
Answers to last week’s ten have been posted. Four titles got guessed last time (all by Fred), and I actually expected more of them to be guessed. Oh, well.
So, here’s this week’s ten – if you know the title of the song these lines come from and the artist who performed it (or an artist who performed it) post it in the comments!
- “Haunted,” by Poe [Fred] – ”... to see a perfect forest through so many splintered trees.”
- “Delilah,” by Tom Jones [Carl] – “I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window.”
- “Black Jesus,” by Everlast – “They call me white sinner, black martyr, live wire, fire starter.”
- “Life on Mars,” by David Bowie [Fred] – “It’s a godawful small affair to the girl with the mousey hair.”
- “Jesus of Suburbia,” by Green Day – “On a steady diet of soda pop and ritalin, no-one ever died for my sins.”
- “Jerry Springer,” by Weird Al Yankovic – “See the stripper with the implants? She likes to lapdance and date the boyfriend of her mother.”
- “These are Days,” by 10,000 Maniacs [Thud] – “It’s true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.”
- “Money,” by Pink Floyd [Thud] – “Share it fairly, but don’t take a slice of my pie.”
- “Jump Around,” by House of Pain [Fred] – “I’ve got more rhymes than there’s cops at a Dunkin’ Donuts shop.”
- “Me and My Arrow,” by Harry Nilsson [Thud] – “And if we make up just to break up, I’ll carry on.”
