I’m typing this on the tablet in my in-laws’ kitchen, while Kate sleeps in– we’re in Boston for a wedding, heading back home this afternoon. I need some sort of post to keep things going on our travel day, and I see Scott doing the guess-the-lyrics thing<\/a>, so that’s as good a topic as any.<\/p>\n

The following songs are taken from the FutureBaby playlist on iTunes. I’m not doing the first line of each, because the first lines aren’t necessarily memorable enough to identify, and because I’m too lazy to go through all of the tracks and confirm the lines.<\/p>\n

Internet fame and glory will accrue to those who correctly identify the songs from the lyrics. Or something.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It’s stupid to live and it’s useless to bawl, about a rusty tin can and an old hurly ball.<\/li>\n
  2. If you ask them maybe they could tell you what I would say.<\/li>\n
  3. People say believe half of what you see, son, and none of what you hear.<\/li>\n
  4. And all throughout the years, I’ve never strayed from you my dear<\/li>\n
  5. Ask for things you shouldn’t miss, tape hiss and the modern man, the Cold War in card catalogues, to come and join us if they can.<\/li>\n
  6. It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand<\/li>\n
  7. I used to drive you to work in the morning, Friday night I’d drive you all around.<\/li>\n
  8. Cup of coffee in a shaking hand, waking up in a foreign land<\/li>\n
  9. Summer, summer, summer, it’s like a merry go round.<\/p>\n
  10. I’ll be over at ten, you told me time and again.<\/li>\n
  11. We’ll run away together, we’ll spend some time together, we’ll never feel bad any more.<\/li>\n
  12. Oil wasted upon our oceans and our seas, fish full of mercury<\/li>\n
  13. What’s with these homeys dissing my girl?<\/li>\n
  14. The hole in the screen is barely big enough for you, not near enough for me to go.<\/li>\n
  15. Now I’m serving time for mistakes made by another in another lifetime.<\/li>\n
  16. Left my baby and it feels so bad, I guess my race is run.<\/li>\n
  17. Long-distance callers make long-distance calls, and the silence makes me feel lonely.<\/li>\n
  18. Got a lot of your records, in a separate stack. Some things I might like to hear, but I guess I’ll give ’em back.<\/li>\n
  19. I’m a-walkin’ in the rain, tears are fallin’ and I feel the pain.<\/li>\n
  20. They said everything was sacred, nothing was profane, money was just something to throw off the back of trains.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
