Gacked from 
kayim . She did 10, I did 20.
Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) of the first 20 10 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: No cheating!
::snickering:: I skipped instrumentals, songs not in English, and the ones where the opening lines *are* the title! (It took me 36 songs to get 20 sets of lyrics....)
1. Put a candle in the window / And I feel I've got to move. "Long As I Can See the Light," by CCR. Guessed by annasbeta
2. She went down last October in a pouring driving rain. / The skipper, he'd been drinking and the mate, he felt no pain. -- "The Mary Ellen Carter," by Stan Rogers. Guessed by not_hathor
3. I know a dark secluded place. / A place where no one knows your face. "Hernando's Hideaway," by Ella Fitzgerald. Guessed by
skeddy_kat
4. Sunset is an angel weeping / Holding out a bloody sword
5. Once that you've decided on a killing / First you make a stone of your heart. -- "Murder By Numbers," The Police. Guessed by
taselby & avivasedai
6. And how I've loved / And I have served / And I have sinned / But I have learned.
7. The Mississippi Delta / Was shining like a national guitar -- "Graceland," by Paul Simon. Guessed by
lomedet & avivasedai
8. Yellow bird flying / Get shot in the wing / Good year for hunters / And Christmas parties
9. Bleak desolation / In a beam of sun / Scraping as I crawl / (Your heart can't hear me)
10. You can't hide / Behind social graces / So don't try / To be all touchy feely -- "As Is," Ani DeFranco Guessed by
lomedet .
11. You saw me standing by the old / Corner of the main street / And the lights are flashing on your window sill -- "Save A Prayer," Duran Duran. Guessed by
taselby .
12. When something happens / That causes other things to happen -- "Chain Reaction," by Betty. Gussed by
taselby
13. Ignacio lay dying in the sand / A single red rose clutched in a dying hand
14. Don't fear, / Even though you're at a loss. / I'm numb, / A shell of empty thoughts.
15. Been three days now, / Maybe a week. / Rain fall down in big black sheets.
16. We were married on a rainy day / The grass it was yellow / And the sky was gray
17. You and me / We used to be together. / Every day together / Always. -- "Don't Speak," by No Doubt. Guessed by
blackeyedgirl .
18. I'm a shadow since you're gone / Just a shadow in the dawn / That breaks in the sand
19. Creatures kissing in the rain / Shapeless in the dark again
20. Time, time and again I see you staring out at me / Now, then, and again I wonder what it is that you see.
