Last week, nobody guessed any. I found that surprising, even if this weblog doesn’t, strictly speaking, get a lot of visitors. Have people grown tired of the game, tired of the blog, or were the lyrics last week just really hard to guess? I’m tempted just to leave it up, regardless.
Anyway, here’s this week’s.
- “Everybody Knows” by Leonard Cohen, guessed by Clayton
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart - “We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives” by Los Campesinos!
It’s all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice - “What Is the Light?” by the Flaming Lips
Is it chemically derived? - “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh” by Say Hi, guessed by Kim
It’s the sound of her verbs - “Alison” by Elvis Costello
I’m not gonna get too sentimental - “Slow Show” by the National
You know I dreamed about you for twenty-nine years before I saw you - “Can’t Go Back Now” by the Weepies
And you’ll think you’ve gone as far as you will ever get - “In the Springtime of His Voodoo” by Tori Amos
And I’m quite sure I’m in the wrong song - “Heaven Is My Home” by Randy Newman
Now this sweet world is precious to me - “Missed the Boat” by Modest Mouse
Saying, yes, this is a fine promotion
Good luck!
Personally, I was just clueless last week. And still am, for that matter. Sadly, I appear to be equally clueless this week.
1 – “Everybody Knows” – Leonard Cohen
Also, what Betty said. Not tired of the game, just couldn’t come up with any answers (although I still feel like I might know #2, but after a week I still haven’t figured it out…)
Dammit, though, I should have known that one!
4 Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh – either the name of the song or my Horshack impression. I can’t think of the band…
Okay, I’ve posted the answers to last week’s lyrics.
It’s just that I’m really terrible at the lyrics game, and I’m too ashamed to google them.
