Playlist poetry

[stgulik]

Inspired by musesfool, here's my take on a really good meme. Warning: I own a lot of music samplers written by Gen-Y artists who are not exactly lucky in love.

The Playlist Poetry Meme
Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.

Didn’t I treat you right now?

Oh, I bet I know what you like
I’m sure that he could give you everything
So I wait my turn, I’m a modern man
Through the sleepless nights I cry for you

You push me
Help—I have done it again
Here we go again

You played the part of the one who was taken down by God
You think you’re so cool
So like your father in the face and blood
On a dark desert highway
You walk around in other towns

It’s a terrible love
I heard you calling me across the night sky
You left me here on your way to paradise

Billy was a train driving man
Dead red eyes
Three in the morning
Oh, there’s a fire where the city was
Stare at the sun
