We Need To Talk
by Minty Handy
Typing my password
Enthusiastically
Looking at the message you just
Left for me
Might be words of love
Envy and attachment
No, I see it's a J-P-G
Of an L-O-L CAT, yeah
(What the fuck!)
We need to meet, we need to talk
Hook me up, or you can talk a walk
All I really need from you, is
Talk to me and I will talk to you
You share your webcam
Our chats last through the night
Until we meet we just won't feel right
We need to talk, we need to show
All this time, and we still don't know
Not sure if this is real, you should
Talk to me and tell me how you feel
Flipping through my emails
Reading all my spam
One new note from you says I should
Meet you at ten P-M, we're gonna
Meet at ten P-M
(Everybody!)
We need to talk, I need to know
Or this thing is evidentially no
Maybe we can get this right
And we can make it through the (night)
Need to meet, we need to fuck
Let me in and lift me up
Offline we can make this real
Let me show you how I feel
Let me see and feel and hear you, hear you,
Hear you when you talk
Contains extended acrostic: "TELL ME NOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME WOMAN LOL", plus extra bonus letters "L" and "H".

We Need to Talk by Boop Boop
(Minty, we both wrote songs about being offline)
acrostic: We love him, RIP Dio. We rock him. Yea! RIP Dio.
We need to talk tonight
Everything's under the eye
Leaving the grid tonight
Out where the camera's blind
Veins are flowing
Electric blood in our
Hearts exploding
Into the dark, we're
Making our move tonight!
Ramifications
Indoctrination
Powers that be
Daring to break our chains and be free!
Invisible soldiers!
Onward!
We need to talk tonight
Everything's under control
Ripping out wires tonight
Only the shadows will know
Can't you feel it? The
Kneeling's over
Hearts don't fear it
Into the dark, we're
Making our move tonight!
Your voice is
Everything
All that you have
!
Ramifications
Indoctrination
Powers that be
Daring to break our chains and be free!
Invisible soldiers!
Onward!

When we met, I fell so hard for you
Even now, I recall the thrill
Nobody warned me a girl could make my heart explode
Every morning was bright and shiny
Every night had that je ne sais quoi
Day by day, I felt I’d cracked the gender code
Tuesday morning, I started feeling weird
Over coffee and Raisin Bran
The paper sat unread as I stared off into space
All at once I was out of order
Lacking balance - just kind of off
Kind of queasy behind my new-found poker face
Right now, I’m not so sure of us
I can’t say why
Going with my gut though, I think I’ve lost the
High
Tightropes all around me
Now’s the time to walk
One thing I know: to get on with the show
We need to talk…
Baby, I don’t know just what to say
All my feelings are jumbled
But I’ll confirm at the end of the day
Yes, the mortar has crumbled
Right now, I’m not so sure of us
I can’t say why
Going with my gut though, I think I’ve lost the
High
Tightropes all around me
Now’s the time to walk
One thing I know: to get on with the show

We Need To Talk
by billy's little trip
Walking home the other night, as high as a kite
Everything around me ascending to the sky
Nothing on my mind but this old straw hat
Except the thought that maybe Newton lied
Equilibrium tryin' to adjust my head
Dedicated to my gravity instead
Talkin' right now is probably not the best idea
Obvious conclusion, yeah, that's what I dread
Tell me why you're not going away
Ask how I knew you would stay
Let's not fight about it anymore
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, fuck me hardcore
lather, rinse, repeat

Triumphant are the few
He who makes it through
Intricate this seems
Singing in my dreams
Narrow is this winding road
Unaware until we're told
Revelation once again
Elimination is the game
I need more time
Need to cleanse my mind
Save me from my fate
Only you can open up this gate
Now our destination's here
Give into all things you fear
Immunity is all but gone
Struggle 'til the day is done
Help me make it through
Anyone will do
Reflect on all we've done
Doesn't matter if we've won

Jon Eric - We Need To Talk
If you think that no one's listening
And you wonder why you try
Maybe you just need perspective
Get around more, and tell me what you find
Oh, baby, it's just that we need to talk
If you really think that no one's watching
Now would be a good time to break out
God only knows the sorts of things you tend to miss
Tryin' to hide from the judging crowd
Oh, baby, it's just that we need to talk
[La la la la la, &c]
Keys and locks only fit together
If that was how they're made
Leave it to me to make light of all of your problems
Leave it to you to be late
Maybe that's just where the problem lies...
Yes, I think that no one's watching
Still, sometimes, I like to sing (sing, sing)
Every so often, you find yourself pleasantly surprised
Life can be such a beautiful thing
For God's sake, baby we need to talk
[La la la la la, &c]

Lyrics by the Berkeley Social Scene
We Need to Talk
When we fell in love
Every part of me felt unworthy of you
Reaching out to begin
Entertaining thoughts I had never considered
Analyzing what's within
Loving everything you bring to this
Like a window to a wall. (I need to talk to you, I'm the one for you, you're the one for me, I need to talk to you)
You let the light in. (I need to talk to you, I'm the one for you, you're the one for me, I need to talk to you)
Never felt this way before
Every moment so alive
Embracing arms side by side
Days are blurring into endless nights
Too many feelings to express
Overjoyed and relentless
Pity that there is a silence
In bed we sleep back to back
Love is more than coexistence
Let me know how we got to this
Over thinking your resistance (I need to talk to you, you're the one for me, I'm the one for you, I need to talk to you)
Wanting just to put an end to this (I need to talk to you, you're the one for me, I'm the one for you, I need to talk to you)
Talk to me like you did before
Always saying what I want to hear
Let me think that what you say is true
Keeping me coming back for more
Maybe some things don't last for life
Or what I'm feeling isn’t true
Running out of excuses for
Erasing all that we've been through (We need to talk)
Baby I couldn't live without it
Any substitute won't do (We need to talk)
Born so perfect you are my only one
Yes I'll always listen to you
We need to talk
We Need to Talk
When we fell in love
Every part of me felt unworthy of you
Reaching out to begin
Entertaining thoughts I had never considered

Never felt this way before
Every moment so alive
Embracing arms side by side

Too many feelings to express
Overjoyed and relentless
Pity that there is a silence

Re: Nur Ein V - We Need To Talk
Someone's cold ... but she's
Much too old
Undersold ... but now she's
Rust and bone
Find
Someone
We need to talk
this valentines day
I fell in love
but it was too easy
hearts of gold
upward rose
no one's bold
that lives alone
find
someone

I fell in love

Hearts of gold
what do you know
the rich are undersold
now you're rust and bone

The acrostic is HUNT and SMURFS. The challenge totally raped me, so I'm just glad to have gotten a song in.
