Meme with a vengeance

maristuOkay, y'all blame this on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
barbana (heh, thought I'd forgotten, didn't you? :) ). See, she challenged me. And I never back down on a challenge. But this one was damn hard...
After I put up the lyrics meme ("answer these questions using lyrics from one band"), she made the following comments:
Barbana: I think it would be interesting to try that again only limiting yourself to not only the one band but only one ALBUM too.
Maricats: Can it be a double album? A compilation CD?
Barbana: No, and no greatest hits either. *BEG*
So, here it is. I answered using lyrics from "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" by Oasis (and I seem to have a thing for British bands...)
Are you male or female?
She's electric
Yeah, I'm female. Darn. I didn't want to reuse the lyrics from "She's Electric", but I saw no way out of this one...
Describe yourself.
She's electric
She's in a family full of eccentrics
She done things I never expected
Especially the part about family *g*
How do they feel about you?
And time as it stands
Won't be held in my hands
Or living inside of my skin
And as it fell from the sky
I asked myself why
Can I never let anyone in?
How do you feel about yourself?
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinking things that I just can't abide
Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend.
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
What would you rather be doing?
Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon
Walking to the sound of my favourite tune
Describe where you live.
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
Describe how you love
He walks along the open road of love and life
Surviving if he can
Share a few words of wisdom
You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
...
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
...
That's a damn good record. I hadn't listened to it in a while... It's not my favorite by far, but it's the only one I found by a band that had something resembling answers to all the questions above. Coherent answers, that actually matched my mood and life. And trust me, I tried. I tried REM, Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi, Genesis, so many I don't even remember. The one that got the closest was Beth Nielsen Chapman's "Sand and Water", but she's not a band...
So yeah. I did it. I feel good :)
Hehehe. Your turn,barbana. *eg*
