TITLES

For Writers Island prompt #13 2010
And Monday Poetry Train Revisited


PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER

Interstellar overdrive
Cigarettes and alcohol
Sex and drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll
Magical mystery tour

Sunday morning coming down
Every day is like Sunday
If God will send his angels
Happiness is a warm gun

I am the resurrection
The man who dies every day
Someone saved my life tonight
Hiroshima, mon amour

The girl with the dirty shirt
Lady with the spinning head
To know her is to love her
Everybody’s everything

I’ve got my mind set on you
Twentieth century fox
Can you feel the love tonight?
I will never be untrue

Believe that I understand
Only love can break your heart
Stay a little bit longer
Let’s spend the night together

In the future when all’s well
Whenever God shines his light
Take good care of my baby
Shine on you crazy diamond.

    Thanks to:
    ViV; This is a selection of tracks from a MP3 mix I made. I actually sorted them into titles with the same syllable count, with something like this prompt in mind.
    Rob; I've done others in the past, using lyrics as well as titles. The tracks I chose today seemed to tell a story of someone unlucky in love, who gets another chance.

    Wow. If this is what I can expect, there are going to be some outstanding reads this week. Alas, as usual, I did not follow the rules, though Bach did get a mention once in my post.
