lends to one trying to see what clues can be gleaned from a headline or a post. Many times song titles or lyrics are used and I was wondering what title or line from a song would grab your attention. Feel free to post wholes songs if you'd like. BTW, it's not widely known but odds are Seal Poet and I would have shacked up long ago based on our musical tastes.
I'll start with Brian Eno's Blank Frank:
Blank Frank is the messenger of your doom and your destruction
Yes, he is the one who will set you up as nothing
And he is one who will look at you sideways
His particular skill is leaving bombs in people's driveways.
Blank Frank has a memory that's as cold as an iceberg
The only time he speaks is in incomprehensible proverbs
Blank Frank is the siren, he's the air-raid, he's the crater
He's on the menu, on the table, he's the knife and he's the waiter
What title would grab my attention at a dating website? Are you doing that again?
Nope. Just curious. One gal had listed herself as McManusFan and I thought that was interesting. And then there was another lady who had used lyrics from Baby's On Fire.
I would be tempted to use lyrics, but I like dark, depressing lyrics which would scare away potential dates.
Okay, the idea was to post them more than, let's say, talk about 'em, eh.
In the real world, i use little snatches of song all the time in a free association manner . . . something strikes me, and some lyrics pop into my head. But most people aren't necessarily familiar with the lyrics, and my suddenly bursting into song seems to unsettle the nerves of those around me, so i doubt if i could use it as an entree for the dating world.
Anyway, if start dating, my Sweetiepie will hunt me down and kill me.
See, i live a dangerous life . . .
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine
I walk the line . . .
Who let the dogs out? woof woof
