Since it's actually fun to make these memes, here's one with lyrics from songs from my playlist. Yeah, the one where you get to guess the songs. And no cheating!

1.
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we have been playing


2.
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do


3.
Love and compassion
Their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air

4.
And when the money, comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you


5.
Fat bottomed girls
They'll be riding today
So look out for those beauties oh yeah


6.
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire


7.
Lie back
Leave the lights on
It's all right, dear


8.
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied


9. Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever


10.
Got a knife to disengage the voids that I can't bear
To cut out words I've got written on my chair


11.
The nights draw in
There's a silky moon up in the sky, yeah
Children are fantasising
Grown-ups are standin' by


Okay, if any Due South slasher and/or anyone who's been in fandoms for longer than I have missed # 8, shame on you! Like... Wake up and smell the Canadian angst!

Guh. Some song lyrics really seem so much better when you actually listen to the song and then when you write them down it's weirdass wangsty crap. :D

(I don't know why I'm still up. I really shouldn't be. Um.)

Haa, I so know number one. :D Because I'm kind of listening to it right now (it's on my current playlist and pops up every now and then) and know it by heart. Kinda. So, Chris Cornell and the deliciously porny song "You Know My Name". Well, it's porny to me, anyway. ;)

Also, if I didn't know number five I'd be worried. I adore Queen and I've loved that song since kid. So, Queen's "Bicycle Race".

I can also recognize a few other lines, but I can't for the life of me figure out how the melodies go or what songs they're from. Just that I know them. I may have to go and google them and then do a bit of facepalming.

I'm usually always awake at night unless I have to go to work to do a morning shift. I think I just.... feel more alive at night.

OMG such emo!teen talk.

*hides*

I really like Cornell's voice, and the song is porny, but it's weird how I actually dislike rest of his music.

I think I have some kind of a Queen phase right now. I've been listening to their songs for weeks, loving every moment.

I'm not that much into lyrics, so I'll usually recognize the song if someone hums it rather than from reading the lines. But OMG woman! Number 8! You've been watching DS! OMG!

*runs screaming*

Same here. :) I've been the same for... I don't know, the past ten years? Always?

I haven't heard much of his other stuff, but I'm going to download some for a friend so I guess I'll have to check what I think.

But OMG woman! Number 8! You've been watching DS! OMG!
!!! OMG! I knew I should've recognized it, and your comment made me wonder what on earth it was, and yet it didn't come to me. I just googled the lyrics and omgomgomg, it's THAT SONG. And I DIDN'T REALIZE. *slaps self* For my defense, that isn't the line that usually sticks to me when I listen to that song. But still... it's so wrong that I didn't know. Because I love that song. And I love that episode. And hate it. Because while I think Melina is gorgeous and I have a weird love-hate thing for Victoria, I hate her for breaking Benton the way she did and not caring that she did it. Honestly, the guy has never loved anyone else, and he trusts her almost completely and goes to bed with her and gets everything he has ever wanted, and then the bitch takes it all away and betrays him and OH GOD I AM SO EMO BUT ARGH HATE HATE MAIM!

Uh. Anyway. It's the only moment in the whole show that really, truly, honestly breaks my heart. It just hurts. And I can't help thinking that it was the point where Benton, the slightly naive thing that he used to be, learned how to be bitter.

Apparently I could go on and on about that episode and the drama that is Benton/Victoria and all that the double episode implies, but I'm sure the Internet's full of it already so I'll just shut up and go to bed. ;) I mean, I was going to bed already but then just had to go all !!! because of the lyrics. OMG! Bad fan!

I recognize #6---that's Sting's "Desert Rose". And, while I have never seen Due South, I know that #8 is Sarah MacLachlan's "Possession".

:D Correct. And Possession is about the most used (abused?) song in old school songfics. Just browse through any DS archive (or Sentinel or Starsky&Hutch for that matter) and there'll be at least four fics called Possession and if you squint, you'll probably find most of the lyrics in the fic.
