Lonely is the night - Billy Squire (I feel so cool for knowing that)

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone  
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own

An exceptional and diminutive maiden anticipates my ingress  
I verge upon the highliner so that I might traverse the briny deep  
Without assistance whatsoever do I maneuver the vessel  
I am supremely dubious that I will ever find my indigenous habitation

Fine little girl she waits for me  
Me catch the ship for cross the sea

Okay, after I figured it out, I searched and found a Portland entertainment magazine called Two Louies

Skeezix, you were correct with Freebird

L4L-10

Supreme Being of currency, I will perform any actions desired by yourself,  
Supreme Being of currency, make known what you desire of me,  
Supreme Being of currency, fasten me to the vertical support structure with pointed pieces of metal,  
Supreme Being of currency is not inclined to obtain the total quantity, however he is inclined to obtain the maximum amount.

L4L-11  
A human with xy chromosomes exists whose activities are not of the safe variety.  
Other humans that make his acquaintance are not know to him,  
When ever he performs something physical, he is at risk,  
Probability suggests his vital organs will not be functioning within 24 hours.

L4L-12

Gather many devices that expel lead projectiles at a great velocity  
People with whom you have a close acquaintance should be fetched by yourself,  
There is joyousness in defeat  
Also with the use of imagination  
The female is displaying signs of extreme ennui  
but is also confident with herself  
I’m alarmed, that remark was unclean

Greetings, At what distance should I descend?  
At what distance should I descend?  
At what distance should I descend?  
At what distance should I descend?..

The lack of luminescense increases the amount of safety,  
At this moment, all of us are at this location  
Supply us with forms of amusement…

“Secret Agent Man,” by Johnny Rivers. Here are the lines:

There’s a man who leads a life of danger  
To everyone he meets, he stays a stranger  
With every move he makes, another chance he takes,  
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow.

L4L10- Head Like a Hole- Nine Inch Nails

“god money i’ll do anything for you.  
god money just tell me what you want me to.  
god money nail me up against the wall.  
god money don’t want everything he wants it all”

L4L12- Smells Like Teen Spirit- Nirvana

"Load up on guns and  
Bring your friends  
It’s fun to lose  
And to pretend  
She’s over bored  
And self assured  
Oh no, I know  
A dirty word

hello, how low? (repeat)

With the lights out it’s less dangerous  
Here we are now  
Entertain us"

**manwithaplan** , **Libertarian** and **lost4life** got 'em, one two three.

(Nicely done on _Louie Louie_, BTW, **Lib**. Slick.)

Anyone else find they spend an inordinate amount of the day bastardizing songs in thier head, when one o’ these threads is running? 🙂

Lud2: Praise Chorus- Jimmy Eat World

“Crimson and clover, over and over.  
Our house in the middle of the street, why did we ever meet?  
Started my rock 'n roll fantasy.  
Don’t don’t, don’t let’s start, why did we ever part?”

This one was hard since it bastardizes several other songs…  
I still can’t figure out that Superman one though.

L4L-13

Within a 24 hour period, we excrete a salty fluid from our glands while located on a pathway, designed for wheeled motorized devices, which belongs to the 5th largest country’s missing nocturnal visions.  
When the closest star to our planet is no longer visible we propel ourselves in the midst of large imposing domiciles of great distinction, in devices that are prone to taking their own lives.  
Emerging out of enclosures lined with bars located on a route designated by the state as number nine,  
A round object used to assist in movement connected to a center axle, covered with a hard steel-gray metallic element, moving legs in an exiting direction towards the other side of a continuous mark.

These are still unanswered from last page, so I’ll repost with some hints.

**b9** - I have an utterance to present, I terminated your infant this rotational period.

Hint: I just don’t fit in.

**b10** - You have questioned why my vestments are without color, why you have failed to observe vibrant hues upon my person.

Hint: This one’s pretty obvious, so no hint.

**b11** - Beneath the incandescence where we rise altitudinous, no one makes physical contact with us in any manner.

Hint: Yee-Haw!

Hokay… let’s chuck some more out there.

**SKEE07** : I quaff liquids in a solitary manner; no other sentient being can be observed nearby. One should be made aware that when I consume fluidic refreshments I am desirous of maintaning my singular state.

**SKEE08** : In the midst of a sweltering time of darkness, my ears discern the outcry of a wild canine, lurking quite near to the entrance of your domicile.

**SKEE09** : I understand that you have developed tribulations, in regards to the romantic aspect of your existence. You seem to possess a damaged circulatory pump. A certain male has been engaging in congress with someone you consider a confidante. This moment would be the time when ocular secretions begin to form.

_I Drink Alone_ by George Thorogood

I drink alone,  
with nobody else  
You know when I drink alone,  
I prefer to be by myself  
And my contribution…

**Ma5** I do not wish to be brought to a halt at this time,  
Because I am quite enjoying myself

**Ma6** My levels of expectation have not been reached,  
However, I am unable to from an opinion as to the cause of this,  
May I beg your pardon as I osculate the heavens.

For some reason, the voice of my alternate lyrics appears to be that of a polite English old lady.

**jjimm** has got them both despite the fact that I managed to dream up the following non-existent line from Purple Haze

“I’m disappointed and I don’t know why”

I’m off for a lengthy session of self-immolation.
