h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I had to think about this all day:

We are young, we run green,
Keep our teeth nice and clean..

Supergrass, Alright. feel good song

You know Aenema actually describes my school. Especially the bit about the "hip-gangsta' wannabes" .

Well I thought of some more...

If there's something strange; in your neighbourhood; who you gonna call?...

Strumming my pain with his fingers; singing my life with his words; killing me softly with his son...

New born body naked; my first label was my name. And my momma said "you can't go out that, its a fashion thing and you won't fit in"...

Best first two lines other than Leonard Cohen?

Who else is going to bring you a broken arrow?
Who else is going to bring you a bottle of rain?
(Robbie Robertson)

Best two lines in song other than Leonard Cohen?

I'm a pretty good cook,
I'm sitting on my groceries.
(Joni Mitchell)

Best Leonard Cohen first two lines?

Now in Vienna there are ten pretty women,
there's a shoulder where Death comes to cry.
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows,
there's a tree where the doves go to die.

(This Waltz)

*son = song

Transparanta, "Do You Love Me?" was the first song I posted in here (but my favourite is Thirsty Dog)

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can

i hope you don't mind i repeated it, then

....darling, you're the punishment for all my former sins....

Despair and Deception, Loves ugly little twin.
Came a-knocking on my door, I let 'em in!

(Thought I'd join the Cage tribs!)

...there's a devil wating outside your door
how much longer....

love you all, people

There are two answers to this, The first is the serious one;

'Be Bop A Lula
She's My baby'

By, of course, Gene Vincent.

The other is merely a personal favourite;

'Debbie Gibson is Pregnant
With my two headed love child'

From the master of the tasteless, Mojo Nixon.

(I swear this is the last Cave song I post, but it's my theme song, dognammit!!)

I know I've asid it all before, but I'm sorry about this 3 year war, the setting up of camps and wires and trenches.
And I'm sorry about the other night, I know sorry aint gonna make it right, I'm sorry 'bout things I cannot even mention...

a theme song...this rings a bell...

"I know something about love.." hmm, don't know by whom, I'll have to ask google.

My make up it dry and it cracks 'round my chin
I'm drowning my sorrow in whiskey and gin...

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

Now you always say
That you want to be free
But you'll come running back (said you would baby)
You'll come running back (I said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me

(rolling stones of course)

.... and as the word is about time...

Baby, I'm a survivor
Baby, I'm on fire
Baby, I'm about to creep up inside ya
Getting high all day, drinking whiskey all night
Flipping off the police when them tricks pass by
I'm that fool next door, always late with his rent
I'm that loser on the couch, watching Springer and getting head
Dreaming about a better time, better place, better life
Looking for that quick fix, and tweaking all night

Just killing time, just killing killing time,just killing time, just killing time,
kiss that world good bye, it's all over now, that thing is over now

Here's a suggestion from my boyfriend;

"The silicon chip inside her head is switched to overload,
and nobody's gonna go to school today, she's gonna make them stay at home."

'I don't like Monday's' by The Boomtown Rats.

Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans - Way back up in the woods among the Evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood, where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
(Who never ever learned to read and write so well, but he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell!)

Hope these haven't been done:

"Ahh, I love the colour of the clothes she wears
and the way the sunlight plays upon her hair"
'Good Vibrations' by the Beach Boys

"Shot through the heart and you're to blame,
You give love a bad name"
Bon jovi

"Sit on my face and tell me that you love me
"I'll sit on you're face and tell you, i love you too"
Monty Python

"Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty"
'Paradise City' - Guns N Roses

At the tender age of three
I was hooked to a machine
Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk

Thomas Dolby - Hyperactive


I buy her all the right clothes
and pretty jewels to wear
my friends say she's a dumb blonde
but they don't know she dyes her hair

Thomas Dolby - Airhead

Little girl walkin down the street
Godverdomme, you gotta be with me!

"Trapped in your lonley room,
You grew up far too soon,
They're gonna find out some day

Think what your Daddy said,
They'll try and turn your head,
Don't let them take you away"


'Strange Girl' by Sad Cafe.

"She steps out the front door like a ghost into the fog, where no-one notices the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you, the Angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right."

Round Here, by Counting Crows.

Cos I was listening to it while doing the washing up last night.
