anime, sharpe, lyrics

[deralte]

Anime was tonight. We watched various things, nothing was new to me except Yami no Matsuei, which was appalingly bad, but not as bad as Weiss Kruz. Afterwards, we watched Sharpe's Honour where we laughed at the pillow man and other silly things. Attack Aardvark's sent me a package filled with a tiny doll that looked like me, but had pins sticking out of it. Have sent them a pin cushion shapped like a tomato that I think will work better.

My professor borrowed all my notes since I was the only one who had organized them (chronologically too), and was meant to give them back to me, but hadn't finished with them when I went to pick them up today so he got down on his knees and begged forgiveness. I was rather shocked, but later, infintely amused by the whole thing. Lucky that's my last exam and I don't actually need the notes.


1. Queens of the Stoneage - No One Knows (I adore this song, though more for the beat, than anything else "I journey through the desert of the mind with no hope I found low. I drift along the ocean, dead lifeboats in the sun and come undone."
2. Rufus Wainwright (or Leonard Cohen if you prefer) - Hallelujah "It goes like this - the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing hallelujah." thistlemeg, flourish, maria_futura, ashfae
3. Utena - Absolute Destiny Apocalypse "Zetai unmei mokushiroku" wired_lizard
4. Bowie - As the World Falls Down "As the pain sweeps through makes no sense for you. Every thrill has gone. Wasn’t too much fun at all." ilanabean42, ashfae
5. The Wonderful World of Joey - What, Sweet Child O Mine is this? (yes, this is a christmas song sung to the tune of GNR - Sweet Child of Mine with a few slightly changed lyrics...) "I say, oh oh oh oh, sweet child of mine. I saw, woooh, sweet lord of mine."
6. Stereophonics - A Thousand Trees (poor Stereophonics... no one guessed them) "Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands when I'm overhearing elder ladies as the rumours start to fly."
7. Dexter Freebish - Leaving Town "I remember how we drank time together and how you used to say that the stars are forever" maria_futura
8. Third Eye Blind - Semi-charmed Kind of Life "I believe in the sand beneath my toes. The beach gives a feeling an earthy feeling. I believe in the faith that grows and the four right chords can make me cry." cedarlibrarian, thistlemeg, flourish
9. Oasis - Wonderwall "And all the roads we have to walk are winding and all the lights that lead us there are blinding." cedarlibrarian, thistlemeg, maria_futura, ashfae, greensword
10. Robie Williams - Supreme (I don't care who sings it, this is an awesome song "Oh, what are you really living for? Another partner in your life, to abuse and to adore?" eilanhp
11. Cowboy Bebop - Call me, call me (best song ever...) "Rainbow waterfalls. Sunny liquid dreams. Confusion creaps inside me raining down." and a second one because I adore this song "Ten thousand years I've searched it seems, and now, got to get to you, but I don't know how." maria_futura
12. Men at Work - Land Down Under "I met a strange lady. She made me nervous. She took me in an gave me breakfast." cedarlibrarian, maria_futura
13. Travis - Sing "Baby, you’ve been going so crazy. Lately nothing seems to be going right." eilanhp
14. Pornograffiti - melissa (fullmetal alchemist opening theme... and I didn't really expect anyone cept lucyjin to get it) "kiminotede kirisaite toihino kiokuwo" (trans. - Cut it up with your hands, memories of the old days.)
15. Eve6 - Promise "I'm intrigued and I'm red as a newborn, white as a corpse."
16. Matchbox 20 - Push "Like I’m a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya." thistlemeg, maria_futura
17. America - Horse with No Name (and shame on my friend's list that only one of you got it."The ocean is a desert with its life underground and a perfect disguise above." greensword
18. Sheryl Crow - My Favourite Mistake "Well maybe nothin’ lasts forever, even when you stay together. I don’t need forever after" thistlemeg, maria_futura
19. Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight "So take this wine and drink with me. Let's delay our misery." thistlemeg, flourish, greensword
20. Hanson - This Time Around "Put on these chains and you can live a free life. Well I’d rather bleed just to know why I die."

I believe maria_futura wins with seven, though what is beyond me;) And the easiest song to guess was Oasis - Wonderwall.

*kicks self for #20* I actually figured it out earlier today, when someone was reminiscing about MmmBop. They thought it was a little weird when I jumped up and said, "THAT'S IT."

That's the only Hanson song I like actually, but no one listens to it because it's Hanson, which is a pity.

Me too. *Really* wasn't into them during the MmBop phase.
