if anyone cares - to avoid those extra blank lines, write everything on a "single" line (let the text wrap automatically in the box without hitting "return") and close list items explicitly (with </li>) to separate individual entries. quonsar will explain why this happens.

Very good years:
- When I was seventeen
- For small town girls
- For soft summer nights
- For hiding from the lights on the village green
- When I was twenty-one
- For city girls
- Lived up the stair
- Had perfumed hair
- It came undone
- When I was thirty-five
- For blue-blooded girls of independent means
- Riding in limousines driven by chauffeurs
- Now
- The days grow short
- In the autumn of the [metaphorical] year
- Thinking of my life as vintage wine
- From fine old kegs
- From the brim to the dregs
- Poured sweet and clear
Oh, and offensive mango did it first in the LJ thread, but I independently thought up:
Things I would do for love
Things I would do for love
- Anything
- That
Scenarios to imagine:
- you and I
- engaged in a kiss
- the sweat of your body covering my own
- a courtyard
- violets in bloom (a lot; resembling an ocean)
- animals
- in curious poses
- sensing an intense connection of an emotional/ sexual nature ("heat") between us
- the world is cold
- and I am alone
- I am too demanding
- You are too demanding
- I am like my father
- too bold
- You are like my mother
- never satisfied
- ?
- their cries resemble our situation
- pride
Things we saw at twilight:
Things we saw at night:
Inquiry:
- Flag
- Proudly hailed
- Still there in morning?
- Proudly hailed
Things we saw at night:
- Perilous fight containing
- Broad stripes
- Seen over ramparts
- Bright Stars
- Gallantly streaming
- Broad stripes
- Rocket's Red Glare
- Revealed flag's location
- Bombs Bursting in air
- Confirmed flag's location
Inquiry:
- Banner
- Star-spangled
- Waving over
- Land of free
- Home of brave
- Harry Truman

Annoyances in this thread:

- Everything's gonna be alright
- All that glitters isn't gold
- You were right when you said
- All we are is dust in the wind
- We are all just bricks in the wall
- And when you said manic depression's a frustrating mess
- You can't always get what you want
- It's a hard rain's gonna fall
- We're still running against the wind
- And life goes on after the thrill of living is gone
- This is the end

Au contraire, ontic!
- People to whom this one goes out:

- Another prop
- Fire
I'd list out the 50 ways to leave your lover, but I'm just too tired.

Conclusions:

- whoever we are, wherever we're from
- we should've noticed by now our behavior is dumb
Areas To Improve:
- it's going to take a lot more than trying to remove
- the other race or the other whatever
- from the face of the planet altogether
Materials Needed:
- A french bomb to poof them out of existence
- Leave their real estate just where we need it
Conclusions:
- God made us out to be just like him
- If we are dumb
- Then god is dumb
- and maybe a little ugly n the side

Killed me with love

Things That Are Ironic (but not really)
- Black Fly In Chardonnay
- Free Ride When Already There
Life :
- Is bigger than you.
You :
- Are not me.
I :
- Said too much.
- Set it up.
- Haven't said enough.
In the corner :
- Me.
In the spotlight :
- Me. Losing my religion.
Things I don't know if I can do :
- Keep up with you.
I thought :
- That I heard you laughing.
- That I heard you sing.
- That I saw you try.
Every waking hour I am :
- Choosing my confessions.
- Trying to keep an eye on you.
Consider :
- This.
- Hint of the century.
- Slip that brought my knees.
What if? :
- These fantasies come flailing around.
That was :
- Just a dream.

It's funnier if you keep the list short and sort of summarize the main points. This one is hilarious, for example. It's not so funny when you just list every word of the freaking song in an outline format.

dhartung wins.
Only if you didn't go to the second page on the main link. I think the original one on there is a better working-out of it. But dhartung certainly wins for picking the song that this works best with.

Assets of Mickey:
So pretty
So fine
Actions of Mickey:
Blows mind
Stays around all night
Thinks he's got the right
Means he won't when he says he will
Gives the chills
Still leaves girlfriend all alone every night
Takes girlfriend by the heart when he takes her by the hand
Lets a little more show every time he moves
Requests for Mickey:
Say goodnight
Take girlfriend home
Understand that it's guys like him
Don't break girlfriend's heart
Give it to girlfriend any way he can
Don't leave girlfriend in this jam
Don't say no

I will use this opportunity to illustrate why I don't like Ben Harper.
What oppression does:
- preys on us when we sleep
- chases after:
. - the tired
. - the poor
. - the weak
- knows it means only harm
- reaches out with its long arm
- won't be let near Ben Harper
- shall learn to fear Ben Harper
- seeks population control
- to divide and conquer is its goal
(etc)
Who I always have to steal my kisses from:
- you
- you
- you
- you
Forever:
- Ben harper don't want that kind of it in his life anymore
- always seems to be around when it begins
- never seems to be around when it ends
- people spend so much time every day giving it away
- Ben Harper won't let his roam
So give Ben Harper your:
- forever (not a day less will do)
Excuse me, Mister,
- do you have the time? Or are you so important that it stands still?
- won't you lend me your ears? Or are you not only blind but do you not hear?
- but isn't that you're oil in the sea? And the pollution in the air, whose could that be?
(etc.)

This is so bloody fun I have to go again. Forgive me.
Things you never knew:
- love
-- until you crossed the line of grace
- how low you'd stoop to make that call
- what was on the ground
-- until they made you crawl
- that the heaven you keep you stole
Things you never felt:
- wanted
-- until you had someone slap your face
- alive
-- until you'd almost wasted away
You:
- had to win
- couldn't just pass
- [were] the smartest ass at the top of the class
You had:
- flying colors
- family tree
- lessons in history
- Catholic blues
- convent shoes
- stick-on tattoos
--now making the news
- holy war
- northern star
- Sermon on the Mount from the boot of your car
Please:
- get up off your knees
- leave me out of this mess
Love is:
- hard
- tough
- not what you're thinking of
- big
-- bigger than us
September:
- streets capsizing
- spilling over down the drain
- shards of glass
- splinters like rain
- you could only feel your own pain
October:
- talk getting nowhere
November, December:
- remember
- we just started again
It's what lovers:
- steal
- deal
Why I found it hard to receive:
- 'cause you, my love, I could never believe
