lyrics quiz!

Okay, yes, I am bored and procrastinating. Again. Inspired by Al, and posted in whichever order they play on iTunes shuffle, see if you can identify the songs these lines come from.

Right both times.

I could try to do one of these, but mine would be like:

1. doof doof doof whiddle doof whiddle doof doof doof

2. i've got phone sex to see me through the emptiness

3. doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof

4. doof rattle doof doof

5. clunk whirr clunk clunk doof doof doof doof

6. doof tish doof tish doof tish tish doof

Actually, my last.fm profile calls me a liar for the last few songs, but they're all off the same album and that wouldn't be fair.

Well, No.2 is Underworld. Off the first album, which I only have on vinyl so I can't play it, which means my mind is blanking on the title of the song.

I believe 3 is "Brand New Colony" by The Postal Service. However, I went to check the lyrics and discovered that my CD has gone missing! I don't recall anyone asking to borrow it, so I'm not sure where it could be, although I have an idea who might have it. I'm so put out by this that I refuse to check the Internet to see whether I'm correct on the lyrics.
