The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you ...

Using only the lyrics from one artist or band, answer the following questions:

1. Are you male or female?

What we have
Of hair, is all our own. Our colour, too,
Unladylike, but not unwomanly,
Is Nature's handiwork, and man has learnt
To reckon Nature an impertinence.

2. Describe yourself:

What is such a dower to the dower I have here?
My love unabating
Has been accumulating

3. How do you feel about yourself?

Confide in me -- fear not -- I am a mother!

4. How do you feel about life?

Wink is often good as nod;
Spoils the child who spares the rod;
Thirsty lambs run foxy dangers;
Dogs are found in many mangers.

5. What would you rather be doing?

With heart and with voice Let us welcome this mating:
To the youth of her choice, With a heart palpitating

6. Describe where you live:

Fill the cup and tread the measure
Make the most of fleeting leisure.
Hail it as a true ally
Though it perish bye and bye.

Every moment brings a treasure
Of its own especial pleasure,
Though the moments quickly die,
Greet them gaily as they fly.

Far away from grief and care,
High up in the mountain air,
Let us live and reign alone,
In a world that's all our own.

Here enthroned in the sky,
Far away from mortal eye,
We'll be gods and make decrees,
Those may honor them who please


7. Share a few words of wisdom:

I've wisdom from the East and from the West,
That's subject to no academic rule;
You may find it in the jeering of a jest,
Or distil it from the folly of a fool.
I can teach you with a quip, if I've a mind;
I can trick you into learning with a laugh;
Oh, winnow all my folly, folly, folly, and you'll find
A grain or two of truth among the chaff!


Brownie points if you can pick the artist(s) without resorting to a web-search.
