The Rules:
Step 1: Put your iPod/MP3 player or iTunes on random.
Step 2: Post the a line(s) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post it on your blog and let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Update the list with the song title when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Make your guesses by leaving a comment or sending me email. You have to identify both title and artist, and you're not allowed to Google any of these, either.

ohdiscotragedy 4. I wore the time like a dress that year, the autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared, my heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within. But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in fullAnd sank in the burrows of my keep.

_glass_curtain 6. We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea.

We saved each other's lives out on the pirate's deck.

no one's so sure if her crime had a reason
13. The water is wide, I can't cross ov'. And neither I, have wings to fly. Give me a boat, to carry two. And both shall row, my love and I.

The trees and the forests!”
