i blew my last five on a cheap fifth of vodka
pay attention to what's going on around you
can't you see, you've got to sit down over there
i am the sand; all --- silent.
got no card and i got no soul
simply a rough day
if you think that a kiss is on the lips
i can take it
lookin' up at the big sky
down on your knees, you'll be left behind
through the windswept coastal trees
dear mother, dear father
i need a camera
you run
under a stone
i heard about the rock for sometime, i know.
in the forest is a monster. . .
do you realize that you have
the most beautiful face?
[but] you don't seem to understand the deal...
well i realize i've been hypnotised, i love you gipsy eyes
you had all of them on your side, didn't you? didn't you?
well, the lunatic says goodbye to those who say they love him

Parts of this actually go together well. I didn't know any of the songs I'm sorry to say but it made a fab read! Thanks for entering and good luck

Still smiling
I have so enjoyed the pleasure of reading your entry a few times .... ok my kids thought I had lost it somewhat in between the laughs you have indeed entertained us tonight.
Good luck in the contest.

This really came out interesting. I have to say that I only knew 3 of these...the two from NIN and Metallica. Glad you had fun with this, I did too when I did it.

you should really check out acid bath, i think they'd be right up your alley. maybe some kmfdm, too, but i'm less certain about that. thanks for the comment!
