Don't forget the songs that made you smile

[j4]

New meme, new danger. Doubles as a lyrics quiz if you don't want to include citations.

Pick one song lyric which...

... describes the way you feel about your life:

"No matter how fast I run, I can never seem to get away from me;
No matter where I am
I can't help feeling I'm just a day away from where I want to be..."

... describes the way you feel about love:

"Maybe I've never really loved,
I guess that is the truth;
I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitudes"

... can always make you smile:

"That's nobody's business but the Turks'"

... can always make you cry:

"And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone..."

... is a good motto to live by:

"You can only go so far in your mind"

... would make a good t-shirt slogan for you:

"Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things"

`Or else it doesn't, you know. The name of the song is called "HADDOCKS' EYES."'

`Oh, that's the name of the song, is it?' Alice said, trying to feel interested.

`No, you don't understand,' the Knight said, looking a little vexed. `That's what the name is CALLED. The name really IS "THE AGED AGED MAN."'

`Then I ought to have said "That's what the SONG is called"?' Alice corrected herself.

`No, you oughtn't: that's quite another thing! The SONG is called "WAYS AND MEANS": but that's only what it's CALLED, you know!'

`Well, what IS the song, then?' said Alice, who was by this time completely bewildered.

`I was coming to that,' the Knight said. `The song really IS "A-SITTING ON A GATE"

Point(er) taken.

The name of the song is called "HADDOCKS' EYES."

And what do you think they made of his eyes?
(Sing aber o vane, sing aber o linn.)
The finest dishes that ever held pies.
(Sing aber o vane, sing aber o linn.)

Sing herring, sing eyes, sing dishes, sing pies
(Sing aber o vane, sing aber o linn.)
And indeed I have more of my herring to sing...
(Sing aber o vane, sing aber o linn.)
