i figured we can have some fun with this
you can post a lyric and see who can guess the name of the song and the artist

i'll go first

"she's flashing me thigh, wind blowing through her hair
baby, we can take it there
but first i gotta make my rounds
baby slow down, my crib's on the other side of town
but from the look in her eyes, she was hypnotized
rubbed her hands on my chest and started gettin' undressed"

Sounds like stereotypical "gangsta rap" singing about all their fantasies which were never realised until they became rich. Poor deprived children.

"Glorious euphoria is my must
erotic shock is a function of lust
temporarily blind, dimensions to discover
in time
each into the other
uncontrollable notes
from her snow-white throat
fill a space
in which two bodies float
operatic by voice
a fanatic by choice
aromatic is the flower
she must be moist"

flat on my back
in a lonely sprawl
i stare at the ceiling
'cause i can not fall

across my bedroom wall
crying eyes open
'cause i can not fall
in love with you
no not at all...

Artist and title:

Called my mom from a payphone, I said "I'm down to my last."
She said "I sent you to college, now go call your dad."
And the waitress that he married, well she hung up the phone.
You know she never did like me, but I can stand on my own.

Oh, ye pharoahs
Let us walk
'Cross the sparin' desert
In search of truth
And pointy boots
And maybe a few snack crackers.
Life is like a clay pigeon -- sooner or later, someone is going to shoot you down and even if they miss you'll still wind up shattered and broken in the end.

Tell me! How was I suppose to know we were both related?
Believe me! If I knew she was my cousin we never would have dated.
What to do now?
Should I go ahead and propose?
Get hitched and have kids with eleven toes
And move to Alabama where that kind of thing is tolerated.
... no no no

Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

Day is gone I'm on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
I take a drink sit back relax
Smoke my mind makes me feel
Better for a short time
What I want is what I've not got
What I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say

mrs. jaded
loved a man whose passion
had faded away!
so she waited
for the day when the fire returned
but it never came

what she said to me:
love's like the seasons, remember
love's promised spring and summer
will melt away with December
....see for yourself

mr. vision
saw the future then found religion sacred
glitter-free salvation
took the patience of saints
so he cursed the time he wasted away

what he said was:
faith's like the flowing waters
a fierce and raging river
will calm and still in like weather

think for yourself, speak for yourself, see if
it's true
if it's true

just like the seasons, untender
life burns in spring and summer
but fades away like these embers

the world�s elusive, remember
where love's the leaf
faith, the river
what's born as flame dies in ember

see for yourself!

edit: How's that for obscure?

Ok, less obscure this time.


Born for trouble
Poised for action
Ready to spring
On a moment's notice
Nerves like a trigger
Waiting to be pulled
Covered in sweat
It ain't nice....

Well... this one's easy, at least for Europeans (one of this summer's "international" catchy tunes):

J� sei namorar
J� sei beijar de l�ngua
Agora, s� me resta sonhar
J� sei onde ir
J� sei onde ficar
Agora, s� me falta sair

N�o tenho paci�ncia pra televis�o
Eu n�o sou audi�ncia para a solid�o

Eu sou de ningu�m
Eu sou de todo mundo
E todo mundo me quer bem
Eu sou de ningu�m
Eu sou de todo mundo
E todo mundo � meu tamb�m

J� sei namorar
J� sei chutar a bola
Agora, s� me falta ganhar
N�o tenho juiz
Se voc� quer a vida em jogo
Eu quero � ser feliz

N�o tenho paci�ncia pra televis�o
Eu n�o sou audi�ncia para a solid�o

Eu sou de ningu�m
Eu sou de todo mundo
E todo mundo me quer bem
Eu sou de ningu�m
Eu sou de todo mundo
E todo mundo � meu tamb�m

T� te querendo como ningu�m
T� te querendo como Deus quiser
T� te querendo como eu te quero
T� te querendo como se quer

The freedom of all is essential to my freedom. - Mikhail Bakunin

DMB "Jimi Thing"

Try this:

Must be time for a second chance
I can't escape this basement flat
Writers cramp and claustrophobia

Must be time for a better place
My sink leaks and the rats have won the race
Over and over

What, can I do
There must be some solution

Must be time for a new idea
Pack up my things and get away from here
They're never gonna trace me
People upstairs make so much noise
Drive me mad with their electrical toys
Louder and louder

I'm not going to call an ambulance this time because then you won't learn anything.

Oh reach the door. A breath and a...

Can't see through the faith. Woah.
Ooh. Come. Here it comes. There it goes.
Grasp what you can.
Don't you know there's something inside your head, yeah.
Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there but there's much more
Than this.
Ooh. Whoa, much more than this. Woh see the world. Much more than...
Oh, much more than. Why?

You were the first girl at school to get breasts and Martin said that
you were the best. Oh, the boys all loved you, but I was a mess.
I had to watch them try and get you undressed.

She said, God made her a sinner
Just to keep those fat men, thinner
As they tumble down in heaps
Before her feet.

They hang around in groups
Like battle weary troops,
One can often see them
Queue right down the street.

You can't eat all those hamburgers, you hear me you ridiculous man?

Before her feet.

They hang around in groups
Like battle weary troops,
One can often see them
Queue right down the street.
