Since I still have little else to write about, it's time for another edition of everyone's favorite music guessing game. The rules are the same as before, only this time, I'll be using the shuffle function on my iPod instead of iTunes. I figure maybe I'll get a different mix that way.
As before, answers from last edition and clues for this edition's bands are in the extended entry. Here are the new lyrics (it seemed to get some really depressing stuff this time):
1.
Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
2.
I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak, I think you're wrong
3.
I had a friend many years ago
One tragic night he died
The saddest time of my life
For weeks and weeks I cried
4.
When I feel too far away from where I want to be
There's nothing left for me
And when I feel too close to breathe, like a baby cutting teeth
In you I find relief
5.
Have you ever wanted to die
When you were without your friends?
Haven't you said goodbye
To the one on who your life depends?
6.
I'm so much like you
Restless and reckless
I need a clue
So show me a sign
7.
One step in the dark
Touch her hand just to see if she's all alone again
Still she hasn't seen sun
But I promise you now, when she wakes there will be none
8.
Welcome, tired pilgrim, into the circle
We have been waiting
Everyone's gathered for your arrival
All the believers
9.
Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries
So many times you did not bring this on yourself
When that moment finally comes, I'll be there to help
10.
I am buried up to my neck in
Contradictionary flies
I take pride as the king of illiterature
I'm very ape and very nice
Answers to last edition:
1. "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love" by Van Halen (I'm surprised nobody got this; I actually posted a short cover of this song a couple years ago)
2. "Times Like These" by Foo Fighters
3. "If Memory Serves" by The Clarks (a great Pittsburgh band that everyone should check out if they haven't already)
4. "Curb" by Nickelback (Haven't heard of this song? Then you may be one of many people who seem to have the impression that Silver Side Up was Nickelback's debut album)
5. "Bottom" by Puddle of Mudd
6. "Take Away" by Revelation Theory (a.k.a. Rev Theory)
7. "It's Over" by Ditchwater
8. "Break My Fall" by Breaking Benjamin
9. "Desertion" by Sevendust
10. "Phantom Lord" by Metallica
Clues for this edition's bands (these may or may not be repeats from a previous edition):
1. Change a card game.
2. A score of toy cars.
3. Frozen third planet.
4. Poisonous flower.
5. Boiler.
6. Pond of muck.
7. Nitrogen powder.
8. Aspiration cinema.
9. A trio of fallen entrances.
10. One with the universe.
#2 is Matchbox 20. Don't know the name of the song but I think it's the one where the chorus goes something like "You're gone, and maybe it's time to come home". But I never woulda guessed any of that without "a score of toy cars".

If it never posts at all... same reason.
Posted by: The Mulatto Maker at September 8, 2008 09:28 PMHmm. Seems to have worked out okay.
Anywho, by the hint, #8 is Dream Theater. But I can't name one song by them, let alone that one.
Posted by: The Mulatto Maker at September 8, 2008 09:29 PMYou were close enough that I'll give you #2 (it's actually called "If You're Gone").
Also, yes, everything is acting crazy. Blame the spammers.
