(Let's Try This) Song Lyrics Challenge (Again)!

I posted this challenge/survey thingy the other day and it ended up being taken down due to the copy and paste rule. It never occurred to me that all the copying and pasting would be a red flag, so I'm trying again without just clicking and dragging the whole thing. I have a pretty vast taste in music, so this might end up looking like a "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong!" situation. But it's cool. ::cool: Also, I was thinking about the formatting of the lyrics, and I decided to just type them the way they flow in the song. A lot of you probably know these songs, so you probably know how the words flow, but... I'm obsessive. So here we go!

1. Lyrics From Your Favorite Song.

I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you.
I can't do anything except be in love with you.
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be.
All I do is keep the beat and bad company.
And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme.
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time.

-Romeo and Juliet, Dire Straits

2. Funniest Lyrics You've Ever Heard.

When I was 14, I tripped on the train track.
And I was crushed right there on the steel rack.
I'm out cold, they thought it would fuck me up.
I got up and itched my butt, I'm like "What?".

-I Want My Shit, Insane Clown Posse

3. The Saddest Lyrics You Know.

And this'll be the first time in a week that I'll talk to you and I can't speak. It's been three whole days since I've had sleep, 'cause I dream of his lips on your cheek. And I got the point that I should leave you alone, but we both know that I'm not that strong and I miss the lips that made me fly.
-Miserable at Best, Mayday Parade

4. The Cutest/Sweetest Lyrics.
(Okay, maybe I'm weird for thinking this is the sweetest thing ever, but... gah! This is the sweetest thing ever!)

I don't care if you're sick, I don't care if you're contagious. I would kiss you even if you were dead.
Could somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life, 'cause I'd do anything to hold your hand.

-I Don't Care if You're Contagious, Pierce the Veil

5. Lyrics That Remind You of Your Boyfriend/Crush.

If you can hear a piano fall, you can hear me coming down the hall.
If I could just hear your pretty voice, I don't think I'd need to see at all.
Don't think I'd need to see at all.
Soft hair and a velvet tongue, I wanna' give you what you give to me.
And every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me.
Is a tiny little gift to me.

-Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground, White Stripes

6. Lyrics That Remind You of Your Best Memory.
(I feel like this one calls for a little explanation. My best friend and I are nineties children. When this song/album came out, we were tweens/teens and we always used to listen to this album on full blast in her room with the doors closed and a towel under the door to hide the smoke from the cigarettes we stole from our moms. Good times, man. Good times.)

Saint Joe, he said he's never been.
Dressed up like a woman.
Saint Joe, they said your dad was gay.
They said your mom, she's a whore.
They said it 'til you were raw.
They said your mom, she's a bore.
And they made her beg them for more.
Oh my, Aunt Mary.
Aunt Mary.
Aunt Mary says they have the darkness there,
In their eyes.

-Saint Joe and the School Bus, Marcy Playground

7. The Deepest/Meaningful Lyrics.
(This one might seem cliche, but Guns N Roses was the first band I ever fell head over heels in love with.)

She's got a smile that it seems to me,
Reminds me of childhood memories,
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue skies.
Now and then when I see her place,
She takes me away to that special place.
And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry.

-Sweet Child O Mine, Guns N Roses

8. Random Lyrics.
(I just put my music list on shuffle and pressed play for this one.)

I want a love I can see.
That's the only kind that means a thing to me.
Don't want a love you have to tell me about.
That kind of loving I can sure do without.
I want a love I can feel.
That's the only kind of loving I think is real.
Don't wanna' be going by something I heard, now.
'Cause baby, actions speak louder than words.

-I Want a Love I Can See, The Temptations

9. Lyrics From a Song You Can't Stand.

What do they make dreams for,
When you got them jeans on?
What do we need steam for?
You the hottest bitch in this place.
I feel so lucky.
You wanna' hug me.
What rhymes with hug me?

-Blurred Lines, Robin Thicke, ft. Pharrell Williams and T.I.

10. The Meanest Lyrics.

You make me wanna' run around pulling my guns out and shit.
You're tempting me to run my mouth and call you out on this, bitch.
How ignorant you gotta' be to believe any of this?
You need to slit your wrist, get pissed, and go jump off a bridge.

-Undead, Hollywood Undead

11. Dirty Lyrics.

Fuck my life, I don't fuck my wife. So fuck my wife and fuck my life. And my son is gay, but not sitcom gay. Daughter's a whore like another girl that used to be her mother. But the marriage made her Miss Mary Americana. I want a teen, but that's screaming prima donna. But the radical feminists made my wife a man. Oh, and if I die happy the situation will be auto-erotic asphyxiation. I hate my life and it hates me back.
-What's Funny, Bo Burnham

12. Lyrics That Make You Want To Get Up and Dance.

We do it in the dark,
With smiles on our faces.
We're taught to well conceal,
In secret places.
We don't fight fair!

-Take Over, the Break's Over, Fall Out Boy

13. The Strangest Lyrics.
(I love this song. I love Tool and A Perfect Circle. I think Maynard James Keenan is a genius. But he's really freakin' strange. And there's nothing wrong with that.)

My shadow's
Shedding skin.
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down.
Digging through.
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.

-Forty Six and 2, Tool

14. Lyrics That Describe Your Life Right Now.
(This is maybe a little dramatic and probably a little inaccurate, considering how I'm nothing close to being a gangster... but it was the closest thing I could find that I relate to. I've been pretty stymied lately, and it's mostly because of toxic relationships that I have failed to let go of, which I think is mostly the point of this, so... Also, this is what the lyrics were on azlyrics.com, but I am still in denial about it and I think the line is actually "All up out my door, but I don't even check the peephole. You decide.)

OK, you want me up in a cage then I'll come out in beast mode.
I got this world stuck in the safe, combination is the cheat code.
It's Weezy, motherfucker. Blood gang and I'm in bleed mode.
All about my dough, but I don't even check the peephole.
So you can keep knockin', but won't knock me down.
No love lost, no love found.

-No Love, Eminem ft. Lil Wayne

15. Your Favorite Lyrics of All Time
(This one was really hard and I had to pick a few different ones, because choosing one song was IMPOSSIBLE!)

Well it rains and it pours when you're out on your own. If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes? 'Cause I spent the night dancing. I'm drunk, I suppose. If it looks like I'm laughing, I'm really just asking to leave...
This alone, you're in time for the show. You're the one that I need, I'm the one that you loathe. You can watch me corrode, like a beast in repose 'cause I love all the poison. Away with the boys in the band!

-The Sharpest Lives, My Chemical Romance

A drink, for the horror that I'm in.
For the good guys and the bad guys.
For the monsters that I've been.
Three cheers for tyranny.
Unapologetic apathy.
'Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again.

-Sleep, My Chemical Romance

They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost.
My cell mate's a killer. They made me do push ups (in drag!).
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself... am I losing myself?
Well, I miss my mom. Will they give me the chair?
Or lethal injection or swing from a rope if you dare?
Ah, nobody knows all the trouble I've seen.

-You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison, My Chemical Romance

So sorry you're not here. I've been sane too long, my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me, but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.
I've known it from the start. All these good ideas will tear your brain apart.
Scared, but you can follow me. I'm too weird to live, but much too rare to die.

-Bat Country, Avenged Sevenfold

Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction,
Forgive our sins forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons.
'Cause I am a new wave gospel sharp and you'll be thy witness.
So gentlemen, if you're gonna' preach, for God's sake: preach with conviction.

-I Constantly Thank God for Esteban, Panic! at the Disco

I rely on myself, just making sure that was clear.
I'm not in need of your crutches, I faced all my fears.
And I won what I knew I could have.
Life is not a punch card, make the best of what you have.
But don't wait, just go.
And when you find yourself, please let me know.
It's not too late, just let go.
Forget everything just for tonight.
We'll sing like everyone when they're alone.
'Cause I've been waiting for tonight to sing whoa-oh, whoa-oh.
Let's believe that if we all stand together.
We're a force that can shake the whole world.
For once I'm doing something right when we sing whoa-oh, whoa-oh.

-This is the House that Doubt Built, A Day to Remember

Does it even make a difference?
When I'm sober, I feel pain.
'Cause we run under the stars like cemetery back yards.
Celebrate the way the night hides scars.
So dance,
If it moves you.
Jump in the fire,
If it burns you.
I'll throw my arms around you, darling,
And we'll turn to ashes.
Drown me in the flames.
Burst into flames.
Scream in the dark.
I'm gonna' light up this place.
And die in beautiful stars!
But if these demons keep falling from the sky,
It's alright.
'Cause sometimes I love the way you swing the blade,
At everything in sight.

-Props and Mayhem, Pierce the Veil
