iPod poetry

[pensnest]

I did that LJ meme that's going round, about randomising your playlist and posting the first line of the first twenty songs as a 'poem', with the first line of the 21st as the title.

Ended up with two tolerably convincing poems.


Girl you got it going on

Guess I'll miss you one more night
Here we are seven days and seven nights of empty tries
I hear music when I look at you
I don't wanna hurt you cos I don't think it's a virtue
Broken pieces break into me
I wanna be loved

There are times you live as if in a dream
This gig's an echo
Breathing in, breathing out

When we were growing up you always looked like
Jumpin' out the window.
This is the way you left me.
Ding dong ding dong do you hear the bells go ding dong?
When the deep purple falls
I feel it in my fingers,
Oh it's a long, long while.

If everybody had an ocean,
There you go caught you crashing my dreams again.
Stars shining bright above you
Here comes the night.


A quantity surveyor once inside a pub did sit

Imagination is funny
We never go out any more.
America has come and gone
If they asked me I could write a book
Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
When I need you.

So you wanna be a rock star
It's freezing, it's February, I'm in New York City,
Almost certainly I loved you—
It's been seven hours and fifteen days,
Guess there's no use in hanging round.
You say either and I say either
What should I write?

Clear my eyes it's the morning after
It seems we've stood and talked like this before
My funny valentine
Need an aspirin after you
Them that's got shall get.
Hi my name is Bob
Let's go stepping, stepping out.
