Musical Meme
So.... This meme, again from hangingfire .
I picked the first 20 songs with lyrics from my Itunes shuffle and post the first line of the song.
You get to guess the song. Person who identifies the most songs and at least one of their performers, gets a special prize. Googling the lyrics IS cheating.
1. "Hello image, sing me a line from your favorite song" "M", The Cure kolyavolkov
2. "I'm drifting in deep waters alone with myself doubting again" "Deep Water" by Portishead; phylomath
3. "There's a place I know where you can't look down, it makes you feel alive"
4. "a flock of knives cut the sky" "The Knives of Summertime" by Sparklehorse, kolyavolkov
5. "too far away from the city, some kids left on their own, they said we had a communist in the family"
6. "you want to talk about the things you won't understand, then give me your ears."
7. "all the modern things like cars and such have always existed" "Modern Things" by Bjork; phylomath
8. "It was a slow day and the sun was beating on the soldiers on the side of the road." "Boy in the Bubble" by Paul Simon, hangingfire
9. "Whoah, oh boom, when you feel like you're going too slow"
10. "Ten miles I walked today along the shore,"
11. "Who the fuck do you think you are" "Who the Fuck?" by PJ Harvey, hangingfire
12. "Run around the chairs in your Sunday dress it's the best thing money can buy"
13. " Don't wanna hear your voice, don't really know if I have a choice" "Whip and Chain" by Ministry, kolyavolkov
14. "You spurn my natural emotions, it makes me feel like dirt and I'm hurt" "Ever Fallen In Love" by The Buzzcocks and performed by Nouvelle Vague (I have both versions) so phylomath and hangingfire both get credit.
15. "Get off the car(?) Kick his chain(?) Kick his pride (?)"
16. "I love your eyes my dear, their splendid sparkling fire" "Dull Flame of Desire" by Bjork phylomath
17. "Something has left my life, and I don't know where it went to"
18 "I feel those days without end when we used to be friends"
19. "I am the passenger, I stay under glass" "The Passenger" by Iggy Pop, performed, yes, by Siouxsie and the Banshees, hangingfire
20. "You had plenty money nineteen twenty-two" "Why Don't You Do Right" performed by Rasputina, hangingfire
