Now the answers to the 25 songs on CDs meme.



1 "Like ice about to melt,
You empty yourself of everything.
It's cold and gray again,
Your body begins to fall."

Burning Skies, Tones On Tail

2. "You look at me like my
Femininity is a crime.
I come through with my make-up, my skirt and my long hair
Is messing with your mind."

This one I figure not too many would get. Lonely Girl, Babaloo Oh, and their website is here

3 "Heard the cards being dealt and the rosary called
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall.
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks."

The Broad Majestic Shannon, the Pogues

4 "I was in Siberia
Through no fault of my own.
We're a blank generation
In the danger zone."

Ignore the Machine, Alien Sex Fiend

5 "Nine volt switch, nine volt switch
Give it to the bitch (and give her plenty!)
Will make her scream ba-yump-de-yump-de-dump.
Give her the juice, give her the juice,
Twenty thousand volts in her caboose
Will make her see the error of her ways."

The Queen's Revenge, from the Forbidden Zone soundtrack

6 "Super-swell personality,
Miss Congeniality,
Runner-up for best supporting actress.
My spell doesn't take."

Again, another one I really didn't think most would get. I Am a Dog, Permafrost

7 "Take heed my dear ones
The use of this spell may serve too well
Our mouth is our chalice
Our tongue our sword
And truth holds a dozen doors
One thrown open wide shall yield one more."

I dropped a word, that may have thrown people off. Silver Circle, Faith and the Muse

8 "Culture was the seed of proliferation
But now it's melded
Into an inharmonic whole
(To an inharmonic whole)."

No Control, Bad Religion

9 "I don't necessarily believe there is a cure for this,
I might join your century but only as a doubtful guest.
I was too precarious, removed as a caesaran.
Behold the world's worst accident!"

Yes, [livejournal.com profile] maedbh7, it is the Dresden Dolls, though not the one you guessed. This is "Girl Anachronism."

10 "Buzzes and beeps reaching out,
The objects and the speakers (communicate).
New electrical patterns
Pave an unwanted path
Down to the blast."

Not too many people know who they are. Dy-no-mite, Babyland

11 "Don't argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me.
I'm sitting amongst yourselves,
Though you can't see me."

Release, Afro-Celt System

12 "And when they come to ethnically cleanse me,
Will you speak out, will you defend me?
Trampled underfoot as they rape our lives--
'Teeth grown sharp and eyes glowing red!'"

[livejournal.com profile] jadasc is correct, it is a mix mash of PWEI's "Ich Bin Ein Auslander" and Danny Elfman's "This is Halloween" called "Ausoween."

13 "She's got a head full of secrets
sworn to the faith of 'love under will'
and she's dancing
by the light of the moon."

Severina, Mission UK

14 "I thought about windows before.
This one's too high.
Trees outside,
filtered light."

Put Me to Sleep, Rainer Maria

15 "I used to eat little girls like you for breakfast.
I used to fly high in the sky.
I used to chew up rocks and spit up gravel.
I had a heart as cold as ice."

Okay, this is only on Boingo Alive, but that was a spoken interlude in Oingo Boingo's "Gratitude."

16 "Back and forth left wing swing to north
East and south
with blood pouring down your mouth.
I come prepared with the white suit and stethoscope
Listen to heartbeat delee-beep-beep."

Blue Flowers, Doctor Octagon

17 "I was riding the E train
Rocking my brain
From going insane.
Just another day.
Then I close my eyes
And I saw Papa Legba
Coming in the night
Dressing like an angel of light."

Ai-ya-ya, Babaloo

18 "This song was written
To make you feel smitten
With my sad picture
Of girl getting bitter."

Yes, Dresden Dolls again, this time "Coin Operated Boy."

19 "One year ago today,
I was drunk on your parents' money.
They were so glad to see me.
They were so glad to see me leave."

Happy Birthday to a Friend Whom I'm No Longer Speaking To, Permafrost

20 "Ice age coming, ice age coming,
Let me hear both sides, let me hear both."

Idioteque, Radiohead

21 "Here's to you
I sing for my daddy-o
As I lay him down
To sleep
It's been so long
Since I lost my daddy-o
O please watch him over me."

The Likes of You Again, Flogging Molly

22 "I could have been someone.
Well so could anyone,
You took my dreams away
When I first found you.
I kept them with me, babe.
I packed them with my own.
Can't make all alone,
I built my dreams around you."

[livejournal.com profile] hammercock got it, the Pogues with Kristy MacColl doing "Fairytale of New York."

23 "They have our names,
They have our numbers,
The printout says we take it all.
Again and again
Until we pay."

Blacklist, Legendary Pink Dots

24 "Please P*** won't you take me with you
To smoke and drink and cruise in your car?
We'll get a chick with a big hairdo
Take her to the track, take her to a bar."

Pepe, Babaloo

25 “Silently your hands are tied
Persuasion slowly slips inside
Stretching skin it has a burn
Sooner or later you will learn
Perversion”

The Blade, Front Line Assembly
