best distraction meme ever

[sab]

So what I'm doing is working on this mafia script and listening to my Zune on Shuffle All over here at Ground Work (hi Liz! I totally thought yesterday was Friday and that TODAY was Saturday, and, anyway, I'm a mess over here) and as a little treat to myself I'm jotting down a lyric from each song the Zune spits (unless I'm not paying attention or, somehow, working too hard to notice, in which case I might skip a song or two), and then we can all play that game that walkingshadow resurrected today.

Will continue listing lyrics here till I get bored, cold, or hungry, or until I finish these script notes -- whichever comes first. Um, heh.

12. she grew up in your backyard - John Prine, "Come Back To Us, Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard"
13. used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
14. those were days of roses, poetry and prose
15. ella fue la primer astronauta en el espacio exterior - Mecano, "Laika" and a fantastic song.
16. have a good life, do it for me, make me so proud
17. could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
18. you must be a football coach the way you got me playing the field
19. I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky

21. would our paths cross if every great loss had turned out our gain? - Poi Dog Pondering, "Thanksgiving"
22. to dust we're returning, from dust we begin
23. which is ridiculous 'cause witches they were persecuted
24. exchanging body heat in the passenger's seat
25. shoulda been different but it wasn't different
26. blew out your pilot light and made a wish
27. if you love me say I love you
28. squeeze her once when she isn't looking, get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin'
29. I feel Judas in the long odds of the rackets on the corners
30. how the hell can a person go to work in the morning, come home in the evening and have nothing to say?

Ahh, fuck it. I'm goin' home, with this newly charged computer, to take the neighbor dog to the dogpark. Sing at me, y'all!
