Yeah - should be writing a paper, way behind on my flist, but this old meme [livejournal.com profile] active_apathy did looked fun.

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

So, I present:

This flower is scorched, this film is on

There's no home for you here girl, go away
I pushed a button and elected him to office and uh
Looking out for love
They're pickin' up the prisoners
Let me tell you a little story of how I got my attitude

Oh, my soul
She came in through the bathroom window
I hitched a ride with my soul by the side of the road; just as the sky turned black.
Dear momma's boy I know you've had your butt licked by your mother
Hold me down to anything

Somehow you supply
It frightens me when you come to mind
It's leavin time again
You were right
There is a light in you,

I just can't believe that it's over.
There's a lot of things you should hold dear
Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Don't walk too close
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand


At least it's short.

Indeed - I've got the Sweet Baby James CD, and it was on it.
