This one's from Don.

Tag in with a song, maybe include lyrics especially relevant, and we'll guess which of your pups it's for.

Bonus points if we can guess other details besides which pup; i.e. point in canon, otp, etc.

One for each pup and a surprise

[thisisnotajournal]

This is almost cheating you guys it's too easy, but here's a few:

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

---

Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads
And start feeling mixed signals like Morse code
My soul start to grow colder than the North Pole
I try to focus on the hole of where the torch goes

---

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

---

And I guess it's just the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
You're all in the world to me

---

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

---

Motherfucker I'm awesome!
I will run away from a brawl
(I'm awesome!)
There's no voice mail, nobody called
(I'm awesome!)
I can't afford to buy eight balls
And I talk to myself on my facebook wall

---

Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

---

Run boy run! This world is not made for you
Run boy run! They’re trying to catch you
Run boy run! Running is a victory
Run boy run! Beauty lays behind the hills

---

See I know you like my swagger
Know I'm strapped when I come through
Chain hangin' like Ali Baba
You know me, you know how I do

Sweet Child of Mine

[innerbrat]

OMG KOODOO.

Re: One for each pup and a surprise

[bjornwilde]

Is Run Boy, Run for Ratonhnhaké:ton?

Collection of old and current.

[innerbrat]

Um, some of these are applicable to more than one

When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt

---

Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can ever be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation

---

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too

---

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

---

It's been years since they told her about it
The darkness her body possessed
And the scars are still there in the mirror
Everyday that she gets herself dressed

---

Breathe in balance and love
I was born on the scene
Now it runs in my blood
Yeah, you know what I mean

---

Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I Finally see what
You knew was inside me all along

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac

[thisisnotajournal]

OMG KORRASAMI.

Demons - Guster

[thisisnotajournal]

Montoya?

Fly - Niki Minaj

[thisisnotajournal]

Um.


Korra?

Scream My Name

[thisisnotajournal]

Definitely Montoya.

IDK about the rest. GIMMIE HINTS DEBI

Re: Collection of old and current.

[genarti]

I keep going HI TERESA to basically all of these, although I know some of them are probably primarily aimed at other folks. But. TERESA. Especially for #4 and #7. And #5.

Demons -- Marguerite? (My first thought was both Mel and Teresa, but I'm gonna vary it up.)

And #2 is totally Mel, yes?

Re: Collection of old and current.

[a_mad_hope]

Is #4 Will? :D

[bjornwilde]

Don't know what to do anymore
I've lost the only love worth fighting for
I'll drown in my tear storming sea,
That would show you, that would make you hurt like me

All the same
I don't want mudslinging games
It's such a shame
To let you walk away

[innerbrat]

Cat?

[ceitfianna]

I'm guessing the first one is Hank and Raven but I don't know the song.

And a couple more

[bjornwilde]

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
____________________________________________________
If my velocity starts to make you sweat,
Then just don't let go
And if their Heaven ain't got a vacancy
Then we just, then we just, then we just
Then we just get up and go!

Oh, thought of another...

[bjornwilde]

Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere

This one just for Jack.

[innerbrat]

What I learned I rejected but I believe again
I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition
If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven

[thisisnotajournal]

Um.

UM.

UM.


Itotallydon'tknowthisone.



A recovering born-again alcoholic!

[varadia]

Okay, fun times for all!

The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

*****

Light foot footstep shadow long secrets
Cover your face with your hats and your sequins
Light foot footstep shadow long gone
Cover your face when you're singing that song

*****

so I walk like I'm on a mission
cuz that's the way I groove
I got more and more to do
I got less and less to prove
it took me too long to realize
that I don't take good pictures
cuz I have the kind of beauty
that moves

*****

Sometimes I think
I think I understand
The fear in the boy
The fire in the man
Sometimes I watch
The wonder in your eyes
That and you leaving
I have memorized
That and you leaving
I have memorized

*****

I dreamt that I was perched atop a throne of human skulls
On a cliff above the ocean, howling wind and shrieking seagulls
And the dream went on forever, one single static frame
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name

*****

I've proved who I am so many times,
The magnetic strip's worn thin
And each time I was someone else
And everyone was taken in.
Powers chatter in high places
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
Set me to pacing the cage.

*****

There is an ocean
I have been holding in my hands
There is an ocean
I have been holding back for years
Where I was standing
Now I am rocking to and fro
Will you still love me
After you see this tower come down?

*****

'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint

[bjornwilde]

Is the second one (Dark and Lonely Man if my google fu is accurate) X?

[camwyn]

Dammit, all my really good matches are with soundtrack pieces or production pieces that have no lyrics. Oh well. here, for some of mine.

Well, I used to be a farmer and i made a living fine
I had a little stretch of land along the CB line
But times went by and though I tried the money wasn't there
And the bankers came and took my land and told me "Fair is fair"
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always 'no'-
"Hire you now?" they'd always laugh. "We just let twenty go!"
The government, they promised me a measly little sum
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum
Then I thought, "who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone..."

---

Death came a-knockin' on
My brother's door, singin'
"Come on, brother, ain't you
Ready to go?" And my
Brother stooped down, buckled up his shoes, and he
Moved on down by that
Jordan stream
And he'd shout, "Hallelujah!
Done done my duty!
Got on my travelin' shoes..."

---

Then the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy,
You got to learn to play it right..."

---

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
"I am leaving, I am leaving-"
But the fighter still remains...

---

Just a little more time
Is all we're asking for
'Cause just a little more time
Could open closing doors
Just a little uncertainty
Can bring you down

And nobody wants to know you now
And nobody wants to show you how...

---

Coming home used to feel so good
I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood
I've seen the world at a faster pace
And I'm coming now from a different place...

---

Gotta admit, I'd originally intended "The Boxer" there for one of my pups before realizing it'd work just as well for one of the others, so I'll accept either of the guys as a guess.

[thisisnotajournal]

Ed's the first one.

Shep's the last one.

Gordon's #3.

Dunno about the others.

[merryeccentricities]

I mean I've only got two characters so that probably gives it away but what the heck!


And we just missed the last bus home
So we walked it fueled by adrenaline
And when I said I could do it all again
That was a lie, that was a lie, that was a lie

Your plans to make it big and conquer
Would put Napoleon to shame
I'm in a coma on the sofa
Until the sun goes down again

I do the dumbest things for you
Why do I do the dumbest things for you?
I would be safer on my own
I didn't care, you were the most exciting thing I'd ever known

(doot doot pretend I know how to format a line for a different song)

I've done too much of some things
And not enough of others
Just like all life lovers
I've changed and changed,
And changed and changed
From one thing to another.
I've had complicated dealings
With complicated feelings
And I've cut and bruised and torn.
I made blinds on the windows of my mind
with the time that my back once wore.
I'm a single person in this universe,
And I am here to say to you:
On the day that I die
I'll just give a smile
And fly into the blue!

[genarti]

It feels like cheating to guess! But :D :D AWWWW to Joly and Bahorel, respectively.

[alexiscartwheel]

These are all pretty on the nose...

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

*****

But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
You'll be better you'll be smarter
And more grown up and a better daughter
Or son and a real good friend

*****

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh, it makes you wanna die

[genarti]

Heee! Yeah, they kind of are, but it's great. Carol, Stiles, and Lady Mary, in that order?

One, not in order, for Cassie, Raiden, the Nerevarine, Sheogorath, and One Dead Inactive Pup

[cassiefuckingcage]

Time's gone by
Calendar leaves and snows fly
I might write a poem
If I could think of the words to try
What is there to remember
The winter was December
Just one more year left behind.

She never looked around to see me
She never looked around at all
All I saw was shadows on the wall
She never looked around to see me
She never looked around at all
All I heard was snow that had to fall.

---

Don't suck the mind, don't drain the source
The path of life's not so easy to course, buddy

---

Then they watch the progress he makes
The good and evil which path will he take
Both of them trying to manipulate
The use of his powers before its too late

---

A trauma to the groin, boys, a trauma to the groin!
Nothin's quite as funny as a trauma to the groin!
There is no wit more pretty, there is no joke divine,
Or limerick delicious as a trauma to the groin!

---

I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see

I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm gettin' real shot down
And I'm feeling mean

No more Mr. Nice Guy
No more Mr. Clean
No more Mr. Nice Guy, they say
"He's sick, he's obscene"

The nutshot one

[thisisnotajournal]

Is Cassie. It has to be.

[a_mad_hope]

I'm broken
Don't break me
When I hit the ground
Some devil
Some angel
Has cut me to the bone
You said always and forever
now I believe you, baby
You said always and forever.
Such a long, lonely time.

***

For those doubts that swirl all around us,
For those lives that tear at the seams,
We know we're not what we seem.
For this dance we move with each other
There ain't no other step than
One foot right in front of the other.
There's so many wars we've fought.
There's so many things we're not.
But with what we have,
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on.

****

For you I've waited all these years
For you I'd wait
'Til kingdom come
Until my day
My day is done
But say you'll come
and set me free
Just say you'll wait
You'll wait for me.

***

At first she's gonna come on strong
Like she'll love you all night long
Like it's going out of style
Then she'll leave you with a smile.

You're gonna give her all your heart
Then she'll tear your world apart
You're gonna cry a little while
Then she'll leave you with a smile.

Well you can't help but wonder why you can't help but love her
but you can't help but love her.

***

I cheated myself
like I knew I would
I told you
I was trouble
You know that I'm no good.

***

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free.

***

There's something in your voice makes my heart beats fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life.
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been
So alone
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life
The way you've done.

It feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from.

***

Now I know all the wrong turns and stumbles and falls
Brought me here.

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face
Now I see it
Every day
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest.

[alexiscartwheel]

I DON'T CARE WHAT HEATHER SAYS, THESE ARE ALL DOCTOR EVIL!!!

1) Grace

2) Alanna

3) Thayet

4) Mini Me

5) Karou

6) Elizabeth (because GREAT AT BOATS)

7) Alanna and George (BUT ALSO MINI ME AND DOCTOR EVIL)

8) WHO KNOWS. Jim?

I don't get very many things right the first time, Heather.

[inlovewithwords]

Most are obvious for mine, but oh well. Prize to whoever identifies the source of the really obscure one. Hint is that I had to translate it from French.

I sleep all day, it makes me feel this way.
When everything’s a bust, when everything keeps losing my trust,
Where do we begin with this unhappy ending.
Where do we begin after all that we’ve done.
How do we begin to say I forgive you,
And how do we begin to repair this family affair?

---

She got a fire in her eyes,
I know she sees through all my lies,
'Cos she's a woman, she's a woman

I know I'm the danger zone
If I leave her all alone
'Cos she's a woman, she's a woman

---

When you light up, beauty returns to everything
You free our hearts, you transform our bodies
And thanks to you, the Earth will dwell years in light
Then you will be proud that together we awaken
Sun

---

What kind of world do you want?
Think anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now

---

Home is behind, the world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow, to the edge of night
Until the stars are all aligned
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade
All shall fade

---

And what the heck, bonus round: the app waiting in the queue that I really meant to put that off a month or two and then accidentally didn't.
So come to me my love
I'll tap into your strength and drain it dry
Can never have enough
For you I'd burn the length and breadth of sky

For it's my thoughts that bind me here
It's this love that I most fear
[...]

For I must die for what I've done
A twist of fate a desert sun
For I see what I destroy
Sweet reflection knife into me
For I see what I destroy
I can see what I've begun

Or, for a more lyric-less... not so much hint as anvil over the head, have a link.

[a_mad_hope]

Is #4 Tavi?

I AM BAD AT THIS.

[chanter1944]

I could quote a handful of songs, but I've already used them in Millicanon for Sariel, so it wouldn't be that hard to guess or find time and situation, and the ones where other characters are involved are already obvious. Hello "Halo," why yes, you are a Sariel and Roe song forever.

A certain Starfleet officer could use a couple more songs, to be honest. Hmm hmm.

[munnin]

Late as always but just one -

A memory taken each day like a pill
The mark on the wall
that you kick when you fight
in the dead of the night
’til the voices are still,

[bjornwilde]

I'm going to have to guess Jay.
