Lyrics

You may have noticed that I haven't blogged in a while. Laney asked if I am now to cool for school...er uh, to blog, because I can ski now. No, no, no, this is not the reason for my blogging absence. The actual reason for me not blogging is *drumroll* I couldn't decide what to blog about. I was going to blog about what a "man crush" is, due to me seeing the latest James Bond flick, then Jarom (my roommate) suggested writing about Opa! and my definition of it. Opa! was a folk dance performance at BYU we attended and everytime they would say "opa!" i would say, "i think that translates to Hail Yeah!" But I decided to blog about my favorite lyrics in songs. I have wanted to blog about this for a while now, so here we go. Basically these are just lyrics that I found to be catchy, deep, artsy fartsy, and/or clever.

Feel free to guess the artist and song titles in the comments section, correct answers will guarantee a great christmas present from me to you this year :) wait. ok. this is what ill do. you can guess, but ill put a link to each song so you can see what they all are after you guess. ps you may not be able to make a guess on all of these.

#1
"old friends walks pass goin bout their own
as is she is someone that they don know
then the king of kings lifts her off the flo'
sayin life is a ting where you learn to grow"

#2
"And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is"

#3
"Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread
and went right back to bed"

#4 *I do not endorse these lyrics, they're just funny*
"And I dont have a drinking problem
I drink, talk *bleep*, fall down no problem
When i drink its a problem, cuz I cause problems"

#5
"To the lovely dancing lights, I begged, "May I cut in?"
But they never stopped playing "their song"....

"In the shadow of a star, in static pallor
I realized I, never began"....

"You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so, cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt"

#6
"I saw your eyes,
And you made me smile;
For a little while
I was falling in love.

I saw your eyes,
And you touched my mind.
Although it took a while,
I was falling in love.

I saw your eyes,
And you made me cry;
And for a little while
I was falling in love"


ok, that is enough lyrics for now. guess away.
