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"

There's more than one Cohen in here.

describes the way you feel about life

-- Stan Rogers, "Giant"

describes the way you feel about love

-- Leonard Cohen, "Hallelujah"

can always make you smile:

-- a snippet from Moulin Rouge

can always make you cry:

-- Stan Rogers, "House of Orange". Full lyrics here (http://stevebriggs.superb.net/stanrogers/songs/hoo-sng.html). This is the song that decided me on wanting to live in Canada; anywhere these sentiments are both a spontaneous natural expression of feeling and safe to sing is a colossal paradigm shift for the better from what I grew up with.

is a good motto to live by:

-- Sisters of Mercy, "Some Kind of Stranger"

would make a good t-shirt slogan for you:

-- Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows"
