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 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.
