"A lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends"
Hotel Califronia


"Blisters on the soles of her feet"
Me, after 4 days in a row of 8 hour shifts, and missing two lunch breaks.

:(

I'm not sure about that second one. :D

Cardboard masks of all the people I've been

Jann Arden - Good Mother

The girl who didn't sign her name

Charlie Dore - Pilot of the Airwaves

[jamesq]

Now did you know Charlie Dore because you just knew it or were you listening to CBC last Saturday like I was?

"Oooh you make the nighttime race..."

I'm probably wrong, but I thought that "blisters on the soles of her feet" went with the "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" that Paul Simon gave her.

The small-town girl is on a Journey, in which the advice is to "Don't Stop Believin'".

That deaf, dumb, and blind kid is a "Pinball Wizard", which I always associate with Elton John, though the credit goes to The Who.

Oh, and aren't the fashion shoots part of "Puttin' on the Ritz" -- and why do I associate that with a Taco and not a cracker?

[jamesq]

Two for four. "blisters" and "fashion" are both more recent then the songs you named.

... Some cheese-eating high school boy?

"I'm An Adult Now" by TPOH

A termite that's choking on the splinters?

Loser by Beck

[jamesq]

Nicely done

... A generation so much dumber then it's parents?

At the Hundredth Meridian - Tragically Hip

[jamesq]

Trust you to get the Hip

That's not quite right...

... That deaf, dumb and blind kid?
(Loser - Beck. Guessed by ersatz_marduk)

I don't think tat's quite right. I think that should have been for:

... A termite that's choking on the splinters?
(I'm an Adult Now - The Pursuit of Happiness. Guessed by catalytic)

You might want to check your score card.

Re: That's not quite right...

[(Anonymous)]

Gah... not into explaining myself today..

The first quote should be for Pinbal Wizard

The second quote should be Loser.

Re: That's not quite right...

[jamesq]

I see we're both getting cut-and-paste errors

Re: That's not quite right...

It's the glue. Get's in the mouth... I mean, get's in the mouse. Yeah...
