Well, I sucked pretty hard at figuring out kuni_bob's, mcsimpson's, or rissdemeanour's versions of this meme, but here goes for mine. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten past about 10 CD's in the process of ripping my collection to mp3, so there's a lot of artist (and album) repetition. I'm not usually one to participate in memes, but this one was pretty interesting. Too bad I don't have any LJfriends to quiz. Woe is me. Woe!!!

Go nuts, y'all.

Rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

1. Indivisible / You are the one / Impossible to hear / What you say to me tonight
2. The horizon has been defeated / By the pirates of the new age
3. You get to feel so guilty / You get so much for so little / Then you'd find that feeling just won't go away

7. Saturdays / Saturdays I'm reminded of / Bombs away / Over our houses when it could have been, should have been, doves
8. Line up crooked my eyes / Straight up at the sun / In and out of consciousness / Neither is much fun
9. Johnny take a walk with your sister to the moon / Let her pale light in to fill up your room -- U2 - She Moves In Mysterious Ways
10. Lover lover let's pretend / We're born as innocents / Cast into the world with apples eyes [I don't blame you if you don't know it, the guy's unintelligible.]
11. Put out your lights / You're taking over / Sit on your hands for the new national anthem / It sounds a lot like shit but it goes on and on -- Matthew Good - Put Out Your Lights
12. Call and I'll answer / At home in the lost and found / You say that I'm much too proud
13. Touch! I'll stand for nothing less / Or never stand again
14. Here it comes and there it goes / Another day of decomposing light -- Matthew Good - In a World Called Catastrophe
15. I'm walking on clouds now and the sky is falling on down / I don't wanna wake up if I'm dreaming / Don't think I'll ever get out of my bed
16. When I was just a little girl / I asked my mother "what will I be?" / "Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?" / Here's what she said to me [which version do you think?] -- Pink Martini - Que Sera Sera [a better version IMHO]
17. There's a mark on my back / From my last heart attack / A whiskeymouthbottleneckcardstack

19. Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by / We never get to stop and open our eyes [version?] -- Barenaked Ladies - Lovers in a Dangerous Time
20. Round, round / Circumventing circuses / Lamenting in process / To visible police / Presence sponsored fear
21. What is life if not a joke? / One night she went out for smokes / And they took her apart like a rag doll in the back of a van -- Matthew Good Band - Alabama Motel Room
22. Heaven bent to take my hand / And lead me through the fire / Be the long awaited answer / To a long and painful fight -- Sarah McLachlan - Fallen
23. With everything ahead of us / We left everything behind / But nothing that we needed / At least not at this time
24. There's traffic in the sky / And it doesn't seem to getting much better
25. The city is my jungle gym / Look at this big great world that we're living in / There's lots of fun to be had on these streets / We can take a ride just you and me
26. Everything's a lie / We're all gonna die / Before we say goodbye let's attack -- Barenaked Ladies - Second Best
27. Little terror / Pack your stars / Here's a big wind for your sails
28. "Don't go there," / I heard her say. / "You can't stomach what you're gonna see."
29. Night lift up the shades / Let in the brilliant light of morning / But steady there now / For I am weak and starving for mercy
30. You believe there’s something else / To relieve your emptyness
