song titles tell a story

I was trying to use all the song titles in a story using as little other words as possible and have it almost make sence.

This is what I came up with...

Sometimes in my tree, I see the oceans big wave even flow over the ½ full garden. I take a deep down breath of thin air. Once, alone and out of my mind, in the moonlight, I was driftin but wanting to come back. I was leaving here a hitchhiker on a long road, thumbing my way, counting footsteps, trying to hold on.
My daughter you are who you are, just a girl, bee girl, you’re true.
My brother’s life wasted. U are so sad and unemployable, the last soldier on the strangest tribe. It’s hard to imaging how we soon forget the habit. It’s not for you my Sweet Lew, no more and don’t gimme no lip. I can’t keep the black leash all the way on the other side of the porch for whipping dirty frank all night!
The Angels called tremor Christ and Santa god push me and pull me through the arc of blood from the severed hand above Satan’s bed. The marker in the sand is god’s dice so release the rats, bugs and red mosquito to let me sleep in the low light shadowed by the ghost of an untitled rival. I’m open to go help, help the elderly woman behind the counter of a small town wash the fatal green disease from her black red and yellow cropduster.
Off he goes to be man of the hour, parting ways with all mankind to get right and be a faithful love boat captain. The dead man walking tries to hail hail the MFC before evacuation only to lose him around the bend in his rearview mirror. I got shit from glorified G but still alive after all those yesterdays in hiding from the animal know as Pilate. Lukin was a leatherman who went to do the evolution in the army reserve and was moved by sleight of hand close to his last exit. He dreams of being given to fly because comatose can’t be undone. Bu$hleaguer’s need education to save you from a world wide suicide. Make a wishlist and smile. Its nothing as it seems in a state of love and trust. heyfoxymophandlemama that’s me who needs a betterman and not a dissident who is happy when I’m crying. Was it an inside job that put the brain of J on top of the girl? You’ll need to pry to find the nothingman who rendered a life wasted from immortality. I am mine a WMA in a corduroy jacket and I still spin the black circle listening to the whale song. Jeremy feels insignificance and indifference about the breakerfall that is all or none. It’s been light years from a far gone wasted reprise

My original had the songs in bold but it didn't transfer in the paste...

see if I missed any

    Not in a bad way... so many song titles just hitting my eyes at once. Sensory overload. Very cool idea

    Here's one I wrote:


    One day, I walked down the Long Road into Hell. To avoid total boredom, I

    brought along my Walkman and listened to a couple of songs from my favorite band,

    Pearl Jam. I had committed way too many sins during my temporary stay on Earth. Now

    I’m faced with a Mystery that is impossible to solve. My whole existence had become

    Undone in front of my own eyes. There’s No Way I’ll ever Get Right out of here, for

    there’s No escape. I never thought I’d end up in Hell. This place is Nothing As It Seems

    from what I imagined it would be like. All of Mankind is doomed; destined for this

    place, which is probably located Deep within the Earth’s core. I feel like a Nothingman

    in this place while tiny Bugs fly up in my face. And while there’s a Smile on the mean

    Devil’s face, he gives me a Stupid Mop to clean up this place. He snarled at me and said

    in a very scary voice, "Ha ha ha ha ! Nothing will Save You now!" He paused for a

    moment…"Clean up my house!" I'll be cleaning his chambers All Night long. Can

    someone help a Brother out?

    Well, I found it very hard to make Ol’ Satan’s Bed because there were big puddles

    of Blood everywhere on the sheets and pillowcases, and on the Other Side of the bed

    was a huge pile of you know what. One whiff of that could be Fatal to one's health, but

    wait up, I don't have any more health. I can’t even Wash them because there is no water

    Down here at all. I feel so Alone down here, even though I can hear the sound of tiny

    Footsteps from evil Rats roaming around in the middle of Lucifer’s Garden. This will

    cause me to remain In Hiding for the rest of eternity. When I was still Alive I took my

    final Breath, and now that I’m a Dead Man, I remain in the Present Tense. I threw down

    all of the Gods' Dice and lost big time. And this time I knew I hadn't a Ghost of a

    chance of ever getting back home. I wish that I was Leaving Here, but in reality I’m not.

    And like a little, scared mouse, I squeaked out, "Help Help!!"

    …Wait a second, I can hear the Devil playing one of Pearl Jam’s tunes, Whale

    Song, off in the distance. I didn’t know he had the same taste in music like I do. It

    doesn’t matter, he’s still a fucking asshole for all I care. But like I was saying, this hole

    in the ground is driving me Out Of My Mind. I’m like an Animal who’s receiving his daily

    Whipping. And instead of being in a State Of Love And Trust, all I feel is hatred and

    disgust. It’s Hard To Imagine the day when I’ll become a Better Man. And when I do, I

    will become one with the Earth. I have no possessions to speak of anymore. The only

    thing I have now is myself; I Am Mine and the world is mine.

    The Devil can Push Me, Pull Me, or even tear me in half, but my Immortality will

    prove him wrong. I’m no longer living, but still I don’t feel dead…I’m somewhere in

    between. Satan’s Leash on me gets tighter and tighter by the second, but Sometimes I

    am immune, and at other times I am a Dissident to his cruel torture. I am now the

    Devil’s Red Mosquito – his own personal pet that was Given To Fly down here. I fly fast,

    bouncing off walls like a Gremmie Out Of Control. And now I can see the reflection of a

    Low Light coming from Around The Bend. It kind of brings back memories of All Those

    Yesterdays up on Earth when I had this weird Habit of climbing up In My Tree while

    wearing my old torn up Corduroy pants. One day I didn't Hold On to the branch strong

    enough and I busted my balls on the branch below.

    During my life up on Earth, I left a Wishlist by the fireplace every Christmas Eve.

    On this list I asked for a Black Camaro, with the full moon reflecting off its hood, with a

    license plate that read: MFC – Mother$*^% Cool! I also wanted an autographed picture

    of Sweet Lew (aka Kareem from the Lakers). And since I Got Id last year, this year I

    wanted the opportunity to Do The Evolution again with my neighbor’s sexy Daughter. I

    even remember the Last Kiss I shared Of The Girl I loved so much before I came here.

    To get in good with her dad, I bought him a Cropduster for Christmas. Also, I wanted

    the chance to swim in all of Earth’s seven Oceans, but I’m Light Years away from doing

    that now, aren’t I!?!

    On the night before Christmas, I hid behind the couch and when Santa Claus

    came down the chimney, I jumped out from behind and scared him half to death. He

    shouted “Aye Davanita!” I asked him, “Why Go down the chimney when you can simply

    Go through the front door, located at the end of the front Porch?” He then replied, “Kid,

    this job is Not For You at all.” He then got an attitude with me and said, “I am who I am,

    but Who You Are and what You Are ain’t shit. And Don't Gimme No Lip either, or else I'll

    put rocks in your stockings." He got into his sleigh pulled by Rudolph and Friends, and

    Off He Goes, excuse me, off he went to fuck with the minds of other children in the

    neighborhood. It’s funny how I can Soon Forget about these trivial events that took

    place during my life.

    Once upon a time, I went cruising on the 210 freeway, Drifting through Pasadena

    with a 1/2 Full tank of gas and my friend, Jeremy. He spoke in class last week, this

    week, yesterday, and he even spoke in class today. He just won’t shut the fuck up. So

    who knows what goes on in the Brain Of J. You can't blame the guy for furthering his

    Education. Although we’re good friends, we have this everlasting sense of competition

    between us. It seems as if he’s my Rival at every sport we play, along with everything

    else we do. We even fought over the same Girl in our English class back in high school.

    The whole thing was stupid all together. He was jealous of me because I was Mr. Love

    Boat Captain around her. I was nicknamed the Bush Leaguer around campus because I

    got some every night. One would say that I was the Man Of The Hour with all the

    ladies…well…maybe about five to ten minutes, to be honest. I always used protection

    because I didn't know who she was with, and I can't go out like a sucker by contracting

    any STD's or any other Green Disease. Later on, we both came to the conclusion that we

    Can't Keep fighting over girls, and that no female will ever come between us. We’ve

    been friends way too long.

    We didn't know where we were going. By day, we traveled through the heat of

    the sun, and we drove In The Moonlight during the wee hours of the night. We could of

    driven to the Golden Gate Bridge up in San Francisco, or across the country to rap with

    Nelly at the Arc in St. Louis, or just drive all the way to the Statue of Liberty in New York

    City. We got off the freeway by using the Last Exit possible. There’s no other off-ramp

    for twenty miles. I glanced in the Rearviewmirror and sure enough I saw a police car

    shining its bright blues and red lights at us. So, like good, law abiding citizens, we

    pulled over. This particular officer had dust all over his uniform. (He kind of reminded

    me of the T-1000 in ”Terminator 2”). My friend asked Dirty Frank what the problem

    was. He said, in a low voice, “You were going 95 in a 65 zone. I’m surprised you jerk-

    off’s didn’t make a fuckin’ U-turn on the fuckin’ freeway.” “I’m also gonna cite you

    bastards for having expired tags.”

    We both flicked him off and drove off in a blaze of glory. He grabbed his

    Glorified G, a colt .45, from his holster, and with such keen Sleight Of Hand, he started

    to Release an Even Flow of bullets at us, but we weren’t to be stopped. It was time for

    us to be Parting Ways with this fucking pig. That stupid WMA (White Male American,

    duh!) felt like Pontious Pilate. He took his hat off and there was a big red circle – a big *

    on his bald head. I think the Devil put it there, himself. It was so funny, Matt Lukin, the

    bass guitarist for the Seattle rock band Mudhoney would of laughed his head off.

    Later on, we stopped at a local coffee shop and the sign on the front door read:

    “I’m Open.” We walked inside and saw an Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small

    Town. She was very nice to us. She looked like a Bee Girl as she wore her yellow and

    black outfit. As she was walking over to serve us some coffee like as if her name was

    Alice, she began to trip over her shoe laces. I then slid a wooden chair over in her

    direction, hoping it would Breakerfall. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. She ended up

    falling on her fat ass. Where’s Flo when you need some real service?

    The walls inside the shop were painted Yellow Ledbetter, a type of led-free

    yellow paint. Outside of the store was a painting of a cat. The colors Black, Red, Yellow,

    and green were used for such a masterpiece. We took off for the road. I knew at that

    moment that if my car broke down in the middle of nowhere, I would become a

    Hitchhiker walking down the road, Thumbing My Way for a ride.

    That night, we went to pick up chicks at this weird club outside of town called

    Sonic Reducer. The place was very loud inside. There was the Strangest Tribe of

    dancers I have ever seen. The DJ, whose nickname was Leatherman, since that’s all he

    wore, was supposed to Spin The Black Circle for the crowd throughout the night. As for

    us, we couldn’t dance at all; we were quite Sad. In fact, it was so bad that I could of

    sworn I saw a pattern of an Evacuation of every female in the room. We looked like the

    two idiots from the movie “Dumb And Dumber,” trying to bust a move. We both looked

    like MC Hammer on crack. I don’t even know why I was there in the first place. I feel a

    great Indifference for these places of such Insignificance during my life.

    Then all of a sudden, I felt stuck for some odd reason. I literally could not move

    my feet. A ten-foot spatula would Pry, to get me off my feet. Then all of a sudden, rain

    and Hail, Hail I say started pouring inside, all over dance floor. Not to sound

    sacreligious, but the evil twin brother of Jesus, Tremor Christ, Appeared out of nowhere

    and he struck me down into Thin Air with a bolt of lightning, sending me down here. I

    guess I’m paying for all the sins I committed during my brief stay up on Earth. I’m

    overwhelmed by this gigantic sense of Grievance of knowing I can never come back

    home. But I was told from someone that we’re all born into sin, whatever that means.

    But to this very day, I am still Faithfull that God will send his Angel for me, and bring me

    home. And as soon as you know it, I’ll be Rocking In The Free World again. And

    someday, in the distant future, I will have everything I need to survive. I want it all from

    now on. It's this All Or None attitude in me that keeps me moving, and I don't plan to

    stop either. I've Got A Feeling everything's gonna be alright. But right now you need to

    Let Me Sleep because I've had a busy day.
