Rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random. I'm having to use lastfm so some of them might be more than a smidge obscure. I've also skipped the instrumentals.
Step 2: Post a favorite line from the first 20 songs that play
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: Webcheating is frowned upon.
1 - where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
2 - Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone Boulevard of Broken Dreams as guessed by
lilacsigil
I had such a hard time choosing just one lyric from this because I love it so very much.
3 - Do you wanna get triple x groovie
Gimme gimme some of that kinda movie
4 - So you're sat there in first class
well I'm not gonna kiss your ass
'Cause I don't care
5 - I stretched over to reach you
I tried to meet you, I've been wrong
6 - Sae rantin'ly, sae wantonly
Sae dauntin'ly, gaed he;
He played a tune and he danced it roon'
About the gallows tree.
7 - Twelve reasons why I wrote this love song
It's off the cuff
I jotted down a shopping list of love
8 - Sometimes I'm bad and sometimes I'm rotten,
And sometimes I say things
I probably should have forgotten
9 - I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
10 - I'm just want to tell you nothing,
You don't want to hear.
11 - How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
12 - Mary's locks are like the crow, her eyes like diamond's glances
She's aye so clean red up and raw, she kills whene'er she dances
13 - As I was going up Wexford Street
My own first cousin I chanced to meet;
My own first cousin did me betray
And for one bare guinea swore my life away.
14 - The only one I see, has carved her way into me
15 - let's make the most of it
the time we've got together
quit all the secrets that are
choking up your heart
and tearing all the light from the stars
16 - I don't wanna spend the rest of my days
Running around, chasing your shadow
Although the lyrics are not the good thing about this track. The guitar part is.)
17 - We lived in a dogfish, egg case
You could barely call it home
Sorry, little lot no roof on top
But the fish left us alone
Although the lyrics are not the good thing about this track. The guitar part is.)
18 - So farewell my dear father, and mother, adieu
My sister and brother farewell unto you,
I am bound for Americay my fortune to try.
19 - Being good ain't always easy
No matter how hard I try Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield, guessed by
joanne_c
20 - Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuendo follows Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant as guessed by
