1. Amy Farrah Fowler: Placebo - Second Sight

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were, you never were

(ouch)


2. Remington Steele: The Beatles - Boys

I been told when a boy kiss a girl,
Take a trip around the world,
Hey, hey, (bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop)

(...that kinda works.)


3. Melli Grant: The Beatles - Taste of Honey

I will return, yes I will return,
I'll come back (he'll come back) for the honey (for the honey) and you.

(er.)


4. Kira Nerys: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Commotion

People keep atalkin', they don't say a word.
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw.

(The music if very Kira, the lyrics?)


5. Sarah Connor: Pussycat Dolls - Stickwitu

I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind.

(ok that's just embarassing, but a meme is a meme.)


6. Dean Craig Pelton: Tracy Chapman - Bang Bang Bang

Before you can raise your eyes to read
The writing on the wall
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot you down

(That's really gruesome and unfortunate in the context of a school setting. But kind of interesting.)


7. Ichabod Crane: Red Hot Chillie Peppers - Under the Bridge

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

(That's just funny)


8. Aang: The Cardigans - Over the Water

somewhere over the water
next to a harbour
someone's eager to listen

(awww)

9. CJ Cregg: Dudu Tassa - 2006

השנה 2006
בקרוב אהיה בן שלושים
רק אנשים שפוחדים
סופרים את השנים
מתחיל להיות דומה לאבא
מתעכב על הצדדים החלשים
גם בעצמי
בעיקר באחרים

(Crude translation:

The year is 2006
Soon I will be thirty
Only people who are scared
Count the years
I'm starting to be like my father
Tarrying over the weak sides
In my self too
Especially in others)

(er, no comment)

10. Alec Hardison: John Cale - Chinese Envoy

Calling out her name, you'd be surprised at what came
Galloping out of the darkness just like furniture
We'd have lost it all if it hadn't been for Cardinal Richelieu
And all his courtiers

(how perfect for Parker is "galloping like furniture"?)


11. Pete Campbell: Manic Street Preachers - Ocean Spray

It's easy to feel, it's easy to feel
But it's not good enough, even though it's real

(that was easy)


12. Beka Valentine: Kasabian - Let's Roll Just Like We Used To

Out of my garden, passed the battle cruiser
We jumped over cemetery gates
There on the wasteland, we saw the horizon
I noticed your pupils dilate

(...that was even easier.)


13. Diane Lockhart: The Clash - Stay Free

Cos years have passed and things have changed
And I move anyway I wanna go
I'll never forget the feeling I got
When I heard that you'd got home
An' I'll never forget the smile on my face
'Cos I knew where you would be
An' if you're in The Crown tonight
Have a drink on me
But go easy...step lightly...stay free

(something like that...)


14. Lorne: Norah Jones - The Story

I don't know how to begin
'Cause the story has been told before
I will sing along I suppose
I guess it's just how it goes

(huh)

15. Maggie O'Connell: The Killers - Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf

Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I never liked your hair
Or those people that you lie with
And I'm not satisfied until I hold you tight
That was fun! Very Dada, random association, etc. Some of them line up very nicely, though I did wonder if it's really that I like the same sort of thing in characters and in lyrics anyway, so they would?

I only really know Lorne and CJ from the list, but I do like that you managed to get one about singing for Lorne.

[quarter_to_five]

I was quite giddy about that! I could totally imagine him actually, you know, singing that. CJ was a bit of a stretch, but her father was important...
