My best shot at this.
Nabbed from theninth: Put all your songs on random, pick the first twenty, post the first couple of lines of each song, and have everyone guess the artist and title.
There were a bunch of modifications made before it got to me, like taking out covers, foreign songs, and songs where the title is in the first few lines... BUT I AM LAZY (and possibly a zombie today), so I may not do any of those things. Though I did try to keep from duplicating artists.
01. With your feet in the air and your head on the ground / Try this trick and spin it, yeah. Where is My Mind - The Pixies faerymay
02. Were you crushed / Did I rush you?
03. Let us be lovers / We'll marry our fortunes together. America - Simon & Garfunkel winniecooper
04. Is there a place I can go / Is there a light to get me there.
05. There's rows and rows of house / With windows painted blue.
06. I was dreaming of the past / And my heart was beating fast.
07. I wished I was smarter / I wished I was stronger.
08. I can only give you love that lasts forever / And the promise to be near each time you call. That's All - Frank Sinatra winniecooper
09. You may tire of me as our December sun is setting / Cos I'm not who I used to be. Brothers On a Hotel Bed - Death Cab for Cutie theninth
10. Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog / Where no one notices the contrast of white on white. 'Round Here - Counting Crows winniecooper
11. Be a part of an institution, lead the way in a revolution / Wear a wig and a permanent smile.
12. Way down, in New York town / Thinking about the way she loved me.
13. If you want to lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean / I'll be the one that comes with my ship.
14. Oh I stepped off the train at dawn / Walked along an open road to find you. Lolita - Stereophonics theninth
15. Standin' at the back door, she tried to make it fast / One tear hit the hard wood, it fell like broken glass.
16. Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world / She took the midnight train goin anywhere. (ROFL) Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (and drunk people everywhere!) faerymay, winniecooper, & ordinaryfool
17. Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin / I've been waiting for you.
18. Aint no talkin to this man, aint no pretty other side / Aint no way to understand the stupid words of pride. Let Him Fly - Patty Griffin winniecooper
19. Into the distance, a ribbon of black / Stretched to the point of no turning back. Learning to Fly - Pink Floyd theninth
20. 'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood / When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud.
Surprise, five more! Just for funsies..
21. Leave me out with the waste this is not what I do / It's the wrong kind of place to be thinking of you.
22. I felt the faint trace of thunder rattle this old house / I saw the fire light the sky, but there's no sign of rain anywhere.
23. See me ride out of the sunset on your color TV screen / Out for all that I can get, if you know what I mean.
24. Cocaine flame in my bloodstream, sold my coat when I hit Spokane / Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain.
25. I can't get to sleep, I think about the implications / Of diving in too deep, and possibly the complications.
SIDE NOTE: This song isn't one of the above songs, but it came up on my shuffle and it's driving me nuts. Was "In Loving Memory" by Alter Bridge ever used in a TV show? Like Veronica Mars or Bones or something? Because I have it, I recognize it, but I don't know why or from where? It strikes me as one of those songs I would've downloaded because I heard it on a show. This is going to drive me nuts.
