Someone's innocent, blame jealousy

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

It's Not Right We Cover Our Lies With Silence

I see you walking home alone, your face is alive and bright
America! We love you!
Take a little walk to the edge of town, go across the track
I can't stand to let you in

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
So long ago, was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
It's been a while since I've been here
In this farewell, there's no blood, there's no alibi

She said I like just lying on the bed
Why does it feel like night today?
Say my name, say name, if no one is around you, say 'baby I love you'
Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on

Come sail your ships around me and burn your bridges down
Don't let me down
Telling me to go, but hands beg me to stay
Story of my life, searching for the right

Stranger than kindness, bottled light from hotels
Sapped and stupid I lie upon the stones and I swoons
Some days I just wanna up and call it quits
Every time I look in the mirror, all these lines on my face getting clearer


I thought it ended up being a pretty cool poem =)) Certainly better than anything I'd ever attempt to write =)

Cool, it almost makes sense!

Tried to do it too, but it doesn't work quite well with half of the songs in different languages :)

[barush.livejournal.com]

Almost =)) And well I must admit I just skipped the songs that weren't in English for this to work =)

My god that's a PERFECT way to get through the poetry section of my creative writing class.

Lmao well when you choose the right songs it might actually make sense =))

[cookie-wolf.livejournal.com]

Really, yeah.

Lmao well 'White America' came up and I briefly considered skipping it but then thought 'to hell with it...' lol

Gosh, I didn't even realise it was from that song! Ohhh, I miss it.
