Indie Music Lyrics Quiz

Developed by: Shelley

A quiz for the Independent Music fans. How well do you listen to the lyrics?

Question 1: Finish the Death Cab for Cutie lyric: "And when I see you, I really see you upside down ..."

		This is fact not fiction for the first time in years.
		If you feel discouraged, and there's a lack of color here ...
		But my brain knows better ... It picks you up and turns you around
		But I know that's not right ... there's just a lack of color here.
		I should have given you a reason to stay.

Question 2: Finish this MGMT lyric: "I miss the playground and the animals and digging up warms ..."

		I miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.
		I miss my sister miss my brother miss my dog and my home.
		Everything is happening so fast (everything is happening so fast)
		I miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world.

Question 3: Finish this Muse lyric: "Don't waste your time or ..."

		You'll never get anywhere.
		Time will waste you.
		All time will run out.
		Time will hate you.

Question 4: Finish this Imogen Heap lyric: Hide and seek, trains and sewing machines ...

		All those years, they were here first.
		Hide and seek, you won't catch me around here.
		The sweeping insensitivity of this still life
		Oily marks appear on walls.

Question 5: Finish this Incubus lyric: "I said I can relate ... because lately I've been ..."

		Thinking of combustion as a welcome vacation.
		Thinking of spontaneously combusting as a welcoming.
		Thinking of bursting into flames, so pardon me.
		Pardoning myself for bursting into flames.

Question 6: Finish this Cold War Kids lyric: "Careless in our summer clothes ..."

		Splashing around in the muck and the mire.
		Now hang me out to dry, you've rung me out too many times.
		All mixed up in the wash, hot water bleeding out colours.
		Fell asleep with stains, caked deep in the knees, what a pain.

Question 7: Finish this Neverending White Lights lyric: "Watch your back ..."

		Or your back will start bleeding.
		When your heart is weeping.
		Or you're heart will start weeping.
		When your back is bleeding.

Question 8: Finish this Of Montreal lyric: "I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce ..."

		For breakfast, lunch, and supper.
		And lots of grated cheese.
		And just a touch of oregano.
		Just because we're that awesome.

Question 9: Finish this Brand New lyric (The Quiet Things that No One Ever Knows): "Wasting words on ..."

		Things that aren't true.
		Lower cases and capitals.
		People you could care less about.
		White lies, fake sentences.

Question 10: Finish this Smashing Pumpkins lyric: "Think back, 1979 ..."

		Hung down with the freaks and fools.
		Cold nights, thinking about life.
		I knew you better then you think.
		Cool kids never had the time.
