The Emotions Game

[Niveous]

There have been many great lyrics throughout SF history. Can we match a great SF lyric to each of these emotions:

Round 1:
Joy
Acceptance
Fear
Surprise
Sadness
Disgust
Anger
Anticipation

[JonPorobil]

Quoted mostly from memory, so forgive any minor errors in verbiage:

Joy
"She's on my mind / And oh how I love that she's on my mind."
-Jim of Seattle, "She's on my Mind"

Acceptance
"But if both of us should fall / For a love at second sight / We ought to be ashamed of ourselves"
-Frankie Big Face, "Scared to Death"

Fear
"NASA needs us / But Martians are gonna eat us! / No one believes us, but Frontalittle tastes the sweetest!"
-Frontalittle Squad, "The Martians are Going to Eat Us"
(or just about any "Scared to Death")

Surprise
"I can't believe it either / I still expect to see her / up there on the stage, but / Mary Hensen died today"
-John Benjamin, "Good Morning"

Sadness
(see above, or:)
"...and you start to haul your own brown boxes away..."
-Jim of Seattle, "Brown Boxes"

Disgust
"Dancing at your funeral, you know I'm dancing on your grave / A tango dip on the brown wooden box you call home."
-Johnny Cashpoint, "Brown Boxes"

Anger
"Go ahead, I dare you to hit her again / Go ahead, I dare you."
-ADD, "Shades of Black"

Anticipation
"Waiting takes more time than letting go."
-Josh Woodward, "Waiting Takes Time"

Man, that was harder than it sounds.

Hey, some of these stick with you. I was also thinking about some other appropriate answers...

Sadness:
"Goodbye, 401k..."
Ross Durand, "Elegy for Industry"

Anger:
"We'll get drunk and we can break a few things / No need to worry 'bout the trouble it brings, 'cause / Nobody cares about you and me / Or what's left of the industry..."
-Jim Tyrell, "Elegy for Industry"

Acceptance:
"What we have is exactly what we need / What we need is exactly what we have..."
Frankie Big Face, "Source of the Light"

A little more archive digging and lyric reading, and I could probably come up with a few more, even. The one that intrigues me the most, though, is "fear," mainly because I can't think of any lyrics outside of the "Scared to Death" songs that actually convey fear (except for the numerous times FAL have used it as a comic device).

[Eric Y.]

"Fear is Free" had a few lyrics about fear.

[HeuristicsInc]

How about "I'm afraid of my fruit"? It was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but still... (that was my "Soft Orange Glow")

Acceptance / Sadness:

I wanted to show you sunshine, but I only brought you gloom
There were some times of gladness but they ended all too soon
I don't know where I'll keep all my bad memories
But the good times will only fill a tiny room

- Brick Pick "Tiny Room"

[Albatross]

Anger / Disgust

"How 'bout I take a big ol' shit on your tongue?"

- WreckdoM "Punk Bartender"
