Pick a band and then answer the questions (about yourself) with their lyrics.. try to answer each question with lyrics from a different song... the song title is in italics...
1. Band/Singer: Ben Folds
2. Are you male or female?: Zak and Sara
Sara spelled without an 'h' was getting bored,
on a Peavy amp in 1984,
while zak without a 'c' tried out some new guitars,
playing sara with no 'h's' favorite song.
3. Describe yourself: Best Imitation of Myself
I feel like a quote out of context,
with holding the rest,
so I can be for you what you want to see.
I've got the gestures and sounds,
got the timing down,
its uncanny, yeah, you'd think it was me.
Do you think I should take a class,
to lose my southern accent?
did I make me up,
or make the face till it stuck,
I do the best imitation of myself.
4. How do you feel about other people: My Philosophy
I pushed you 'cause I loved you guys,
I didn't realize,
you weren't having fun,
and I dragged you up the stairs,
and I told you to fly,
you were flapping your arms,
you started to cry, you were too high,
no, too high.
now you take this all for granted,
you take the mortar, block, and glass,
and you forget the speech and move the stone,
but it's really not that you can't see,
the forest for the trees,
you never been out in the woods alone.
5. How do you feel about yourself?: The Luckiest
next door there's an old man,
who lived into his nineties,
and one day passed away in his sleep,
and his wife, she stayed,
for a couple of days and passed away,
I'm sorry I know that's a,
strange way to tell you that I know,
we belong.
And I know,
that I am, I am,
I am the luckiest.
6. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend: Emaline
now, I wish it was,
last September,
when we could lose ourselves in crowds everyday,
'cause Emaline,
don't walk in time,
she's not the same that's all you can say,
when I've heard enough,
I tell myself,
that we've learnt our lesson, but I,
don't wanna walk away from Emaline,
they're talking now,
does she know what they're saying?
she's got the air,
to float above it,
I'm sinking in the "someone should pay",
she's dear to me,
and so expensive,
now I'm not talking 'bout money,
when money talks,
I hate to listen,
but lately it's been screaming in my ear.
7. What would you rather be doing: Sleeping
I know it seems that I don't care,
but something in me does I swear,
I don't remember all last year,
I left you awake to cry the tears,
while I was dreaming,
oooooooooooooo,
I'm drowning,
save me,
wake me up,
I should warn you,
I go to sleep,
nothing hurts when,
I got to sleep,
cause I'm not tired,
I'm not tired,
I'm not tired,
I'm not tired,
8. Describe where you live: Rock This Bitch
I'm gonna rock this bitch.
Tell you what, I'm gonna rock this bitch.
I'm gonna rock it,
like the bitch has never been rocked before.
Tell you what I'm gonna do:
I'm gonna rock this bitch.
I'm gonna rock this motherfuckin beotch.
I DON'T CARE IF IT DOESN'T FIT!!! :P
9. Describe how you love: Emaline
yeah, what advice!
girls need attention,
or are you different than all mine?
for all it's worth,
she's got attention,
from people like you who see black and white,
now I've heard enough,
I'll tell you what,
really shouldn't sit here and whine,
I'll take you down to see my Emaline.
10. Share a few words of wisdom: One Down
People tell me Ben,
just make up junk and turn it in,
but I never was alright with turning a bunch of shit,
I don't like wasting time on music that won't make me proud,
but now I've found a reason,
to sit right down and shit some out...
I'm really not complaining,
I realize it's just a job,
and I hate hearing belly-aching rockstars whine and sob,
Cause I could be busing tables,
I could well be pumping gas,
but I get paid much finer for playing piano,
and kissing ass.
Enjoy!

Locked him in confinement wired like a banshee with a blade
3. Describe Yourself: You Sound like Louis Burdett
I'm stoned in a bookshop,
sober in a nightclub

4. How do you feel about other people? Thank You
Bought myself one of them keyboard axes
wanted to get out and dance away from the piano
and that could've been the beginning of the end
if I wasn't already in the middle.
The crowd was confused
but then they cheered.
My career was back on track.
And I was relieved and full of love for the people
I said
Thank You,
Each and every one of you
For loving me at my worst.

7. What would you rather be doing? Why Doesn't Andy?

I rise to meet them,
steeled for action.
8. Describe where you live. Make the World Safe
I can make the world safe for you

9. Describe how you Love. Breathing You In

Breathing in my
my sleepy girl.
10. Share a few words of wisdom. Love is everywhere
Love is everywhere
But I don't wanna bend down and pick it up

What can an elfin do, put on a kettle for you?
Leave your mother in the cupboard,
the writing's on the wall
I'm not coming back here no anymore
