Lyrics.

[icebluenothing]

I don't usually go in for this sort of thing -- posting lyrics, answering quizzes, or taking part in any LJ meme-spreading, really -- but after treebyleaf posted this game ("Resurrected from alt.gothic-- answers must be in the form of quotes, song lyrics preferred"), I found out that she was disappointed I'd never answered it, and disappointing treebyleaf just Won't Do. So, by command performance, here are my answers.

Who are you?
"Used to be a sweet boy
And I'm not to blame
But something went wrong" -- Morrissey, Used to be a Sweet Boy

What do you look like?
"His wicked sense of humour
Suggests exciting sex
His fingers focus on her
Touches, he's Venus as a boy
He believes in beauty
He's Venus as a boy" - Bjork, Venus as a Boy

What's your secret?
"And I really don't know why we do it like this
Imitation smiles and how "it's wonderful to be here"
I'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss" -- The Cure, Round & Round

What do you want to be?
"It's a thousand pages, give or take a few,
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you like the style,
I can change it 'round and I want to be a paperback writer" -- The Beatles, Paperback Writer

What can you do?
"I am now
A central part
Of your mind's landscape
Whether you care
Or do not
Yeah, I've made up your mind
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time" -- Morrissey, The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get

What can't you do?
"I won't pray here
Or bow my head
I won't praise your name
I won't kneel down
I won't pray to you
On this side of sane (Oh Lord)
I won't pray to you
On this side of Hell (Father)
I won't pray to you
On this side of Heaven again" -- Gary Numan, The Angel Wars

What is love?
"Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine" -- Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Origin of Love

What is friendship?
"So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters" -- Metallica, Nothing Else Matters

Are you strong?
"Let's live our lives heroically, let's live them with style
Even if the two of us are ever torn apart
Take my revolution [...]
Even if the two of us are torn apart
I swear that I will change the world" -- Utena, Rinbu (Revolution)

What are you afraid of?
"They said I could be what I wanted--
they had no idea what I wanted
And I don't mean to seem ungrateful
for all their encouragement and praise
I just meant to say that I don't intend
to stay and spend
another wasted year, cause at the end
I bet I'd still be sitting here
wasting time and waiting" -- Ookla the Mok, My Secret Origin

What would you do with a million dollars?
"We'll be totally independent, we'll be off the grid
'cept for the solar power we'll sell back to the Feds
And we'll make some half way decent art
Between the gardening and the sex" -- Gaia Consort, Move to the Country

What would you tell the one who loves you?
"You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care
Oh no love! you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone" -- David Bowie, Rock 'n' Roll Suicide

What do you want to do?
"It's nice to be liked
But it's better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have don't really see it
That way
But if you could give 'em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet?
They'd wish success for themselves and their friends and
that would include lots of money" -- Liz Phair, Shitloads of Money

Where do you want to be?
"So we stay at home
And I'm by your side
And you know
What's going on inside
Inside my heart
Inside this house
And I just want to
Let it out for you" -- Depeche Mode, Here is the House

Who do you love?
"Suzanne takes you down to
her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body
with your mind" -- Leonard Cohen, Suzanne

What do you want?
"I want the sky to fall in
I want lightning and thunder
I want blood instead of rain
I want the world to make me wonder
I want to walk on water
Take a trip to the moon
Give all this and give it soon
More drink more dreams more drugs
More lust more lies more love
But however hard I want
I know deep down inside
I'll never really get more hope
Or any more time" -- The Cure, Want
