Great job, **NameAlreadyTaken** for Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed and God Money by NIN, and **gex gex** for Cemetary Gates by the Smiths. A few more: I never learned to read or write so well. What do I carry in a gunny sack? And where do I live? We’d meet in his garden in the shade. He’d let us in and knows where we’ve been. Who is he? If you call a lawyer or file a lawsuit, I’ll smile in the courtroom. What will I buy you? Where are teeth and bones are baked into cakes and passed around? I’m pulling your strings, twisting your mind and smashing your dreams. Who am I? ---

So, my last ones were too easy. How about these? - I’ll get my guns and both of my friends, and what will we do? - It’s such a long way down to see who? - Snow-coated alleys are between the tall buildings, what’s between us? - The repetitive phrase associated with: Ich lieb dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht. - Who are you if I’m asking you: varför sörjer du? ---

_I never learned to read or write so well. What do I carry in a gunny sack? And where do I live?_ Johnny B Goode lived down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans where he carrries his guitar in a gunny sack. _Where are teeth and bones are baked into cakes and passed around?_ in hell. Now mine. I’m warning you, if you ever do those crazy messed up things that you do I will be the first to do what? Where are you if you are rolling some bones and catching some fire? I’m happy, I’m feeling glad. What have I got in my bag? So take the photographs and still frames in your mind. Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time. Tattoos and memories and what are on trial? ---
