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"

Except that it's not Jeff Buckley singing it in Shrek, it's Rufus Wainwright --though he's obviously strongly influenced by Buckley's rendition.

(Ha! Do I get Extra Sad Muso Points? ;-)

No, 'cos on the *film* it's Cale's version, but the soundtrack CD has Rufus Wainwright instead. Dunno why, though.

But, if you like Cohen done by other people, buy, beg, borrow or steal (or ask me for a burn) of "I'm Your Fan". It' sublime, silly, and sexy by turns.

But in neither case is it Buckley :-P
