Lyrics meme stolen from ungratefulwench!
Because my coworkers have informed me that my music taste is, at best, eclectic, and at worst like mashing polkadots with plaid. I've always described it as throwing darts at a record store, but what do I know?

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post a line from the first 20 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: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: No cheating.
1. I heard a song today, reminded me of Spain, we were the innocents in springtime.
2. This is the noise that keeps me awake, my head explodes and my body aches. "Push It" by Garbage.
3. She only had nightmares, and her sadness never lifted, so slowly over the years, her lovely face twisted.
4. But way back where I come from, we never mean to bother, we don't like to make our passions other people's concerns, and we walk in the world of safe people, and at night we walk into our houses and burn.
5. A shield is sealed upon this earth, a shield won't let you get by. Invaders nearby.
6. Let's go to a preacher and let us say I do, then you'll know you have me and I'll know I got you, so don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
7. I pick up a brochure about the sun, learn to ignore what the photographer saw. "Left to My Own Devices" by the Pet Shop Boys
8. We're aping, raping, taping catharsis, you get torn down and get erected.
9. Maybe I've never really loved, I guess that is the truth. I've spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude, and looking down on everything, I crashed into his arms.
10. Then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired. Somebody lied, but I say it's hip to be alive. "Win" by David Bowie
11. It's time that you invested in a bottle of poison, so we wouldn't have to deal with your bitching and moaning. You think you could afford a fucking bottle of aspirin!
12. Yeah, they said you was high class, well, that was just a lie. You ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine. "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley
13. Some granite wall numbs our bones, numbs our all as we sit on skinny hands. Nothing to say, nothing at all. I don't know you and I don't want to. You're so awkward, just like me, but I don't care.
14. I must think of a way into your heart. There's no reason why my being shy should keep us apart. And I think I'm going out of my head, over you. "Goin' Out of My Head" by Anthony and the Imperials
15. As the people here grow colder, I turn to my computer, and spend my evenings with it like a friend. I was loading a new program I had ordered from a magazine. "Are you lonely, are you lost? This voice console is a must."
16. From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib, to my latest attempt at pretending I'm someone who's not seventeen and doesn't know what you mean when you talk of single malts. "Shoebox" by Barenaked Ladies
17. As I was lying in a hospital bed a rock 'n' roll nurse went into my head. She says, "Hold out your arm, stick out your tongue, I've got some pills and I'm gonna give you some".
18. She ain't worth the mystery, she ain't worth the risk. She ain't worth the medicine brushed across your lips. She ain't worth the vertigo, she ain't worth the fall, and she ain't worth getting sucked into the drama of it all.
19. They keep me warm on cold nights. We must be quite a sight, in our meat triangle, all tangled. Wow.
20. Be still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy. Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more, for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light. The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight. "Lullaby" by The Cure
