August Themes

[beccastareyes]

This month's themes are lyrical, from the albums of author/filksinger Seanan McGuire. The full lyrics are available on her website.

1. Romantic dinner, cozy lunch.
   
2. the kind of love that's best preserved in turpentine
   
3. river eyes
   
4. Which one sits back and mocks?
   
5. in the hand of the forest
   
6. World domination is a solitary art.
   
7. burn like stars in the fires of the fall
   
8. a strange four-color love
   
9. stories twine, meet and part, and recombine
   
10. 'Stupid people bite it' is my favorite moral.
    
11. not Mister Ever After, just Mister For A While
    
12. Cuckoos lay eggs inside other birds’ houses.
    
13. There's things that men weren't meant to know, and that's what a woman's for.
    
14. empty hands and pockets
    
15. Even if I win, I lose.
    
16. wicked girls saving ourselves
    
17. that say 'let's get it on' while still appearing refined
    
18. Maybe it's crazy, but, baby, love usually is.
    
19. hands entwined like voices
    
20. Go on and sound your horns, go on, release the hounds.
    
21. We trade today for tomorrow, making bets on destiny.
    
22. We are what we are.
    
23. All the monarchs of seasons are nothing but tools.
    
24. Is there time to save me, too?
    
25. the tenor of the skies
    
26. The old ways are the best.
    
27. blue jeans over ball gowns
    
28. the angel you dread
    
29. scientific necromancy
    
30. a cartographer at heart
    
31. minion of fate
