incandescensAnswers to the 25 songs meme. Don't look behind the cut unless you really want to know.
1)
J' n'ai pas choisi de l'etre, mais c'est la, "l'innamoramento",
L'amour, la mort, peut-etre, mais suspendre le temps pour un mot . . .
Innamoramento, Mylene Farmer
2)
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told,
I'd give her my heart and she wanted my soul
Don't Think Twice, It's All Right, Joan Baez
3)
Seraph choir singeth, angel bell ringeth,
Hark how they rhyme it, time it and chime it
Past Three O'Clock, anon
4)
Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place?
Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!
Phantom of the Opera
5)
Purple french tail lights and thirty inch fins (oh yeah)
A Palomino dashboard and duel muffler twins (oh yeah)
With new pistons, plugs, and shocks I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain't bragging she's a real pussy wagon
Greased Lightning, Grease
6)
Let it be me (this is not a parting song)
Let it be me (not a wrong for a wrong)
Let it be me (if the world is night, shine my life like a light)
Let It Be Me, Indigo Girls
7)
See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
Now she's gone
Nightbird, Eva Cassidy
8)
You'd be the cause, I had no doubt,
Of any trouble here about,
You play the virgin in the light
But need no urging in the night . . .
At The End Of The Day, Les Miserables
9)
. . . and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace . . .
The Messiah, Handel
10)
Fun while it lasted, but now it is ended,
While you were mine, you were fine and splendid,
No point in complaining, but one thing consoles me
It's nothing more or less than what my mother told me . . .
Polly's Song, The Threepenny Opera, Donmar Theatre production
11)
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget,
But it's driving me mad, going out of my head
All The Things She Said, Tatu
12)
C'est une histoire qui a pour lieu
Paris la belle en l'an de Dieu
Mil quatre cent quatre vingt deux
Histoire d'amour et de desir . . .
Nous les artistes anonymes
De la sculpture ou de la rime
Tenterons de vous la transcrire
Pour les siecles a venir
Le Temps des Cathedrales, Notre-Dame de Paris
13)
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die."
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
Long Black Veil, Joan Baez
14)
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,
Don't think of the danger, or the stranger is gone . . .
You Only Live Twice, Nancy Sinatra
15)
tu peux bien te perdre, et tu peux, demain
sans rien me dire, disparaître, je sais bien
que tu peux nous perdre, toi qui ne veux pas
que sur ton chemin, on s'arrête mais tu vois
je rêve de me perdre
si c'est me perdre avec toi, toi
et je cours à ma perte
si tu n'as rien d'autre pour moi, que çà
Tu Peux Bien, Francoise Hardy
16)
Oh when I was a seeker, I sought both night and day . . .
Go Tell It On The Mountain, anon
17)
Though it gives me no joy adding to your satisfaction
You can safely assume your late unlamented employee
Knows if he wins then the only thing won is the chess
Endgame, Chess
18)
Mother, your eyes have gone suddenly cold
And it wasn't what I was expecting
Once I did think that I'd find comfort there
And instead you've gone hard and suspecting
Bad Wisdom, Suzanne Vega
19)
God bless Mother Nature,
She's a single woman too,
She took on the heavens
And she did what she had to do . . .
It's Raining Men, The Weather Girls
20)
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting, standing in the slant of the late afternoon,
And she turns to me with her hand extended, her palm is split with a flower, with a flame . . .
Solitude Standing, Suzanne Vega
21)
I was waiting at the station, I was all anticipation,
I was painted, I was polished, I was shining like a star,
And then he whistled at me . . .
He Whistled At Me, Starlight Express
22)
He bought me the fur thing five winters ago, and the gown the following Fall,
Then the necklace, the bag, the gloves and the hat, that was late forty-eight, I recall,
Then last night in his apartment he tried to remove them all,
And I said as I ran down the hall . . .
Take Back Your Mink, Guys and Dolls
23)
fallen angels at my feet
whispered voices at my ear
death before my eyes
lying next to me i fear
she beckons me shall i give in
upon my end shall i begin
forsaking all i've fallen for i rise to meet the end
Whisper, Evanescence
24)
Je me dis que le rossignol est sans pitie,
Il ne chante pas la pitie
Ni par pitie . . .
Rossignol, Jeanne Moreau
25)
I was cheated by you, and I think you know when,
So I made up my mind it must come to an end
Look at me now -- will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control,
There's a fire within my soul . . .
Mamma Mia, Abba
1)

Date: 2004-12-10 02:31 am (UTC)It's a story that takes place
In Paris, in the year of Grace
Fourteen hundred eighty-two
A tale of love and of desire...
We, the artists all unknown
Whether working rhyme or stone
Seek to set it down for you
Of an age yet to transpire...
