Song lyrics memeFollow

So this is going around on LiveJournal and since it's been a while since I've seen anything like this on here, I decided to bring it over.

Whenever I have to do something like this, I am always amused at just how eclectic my musical tastes can be. Some of 'em are gimmies, others I doubt anyone will ever guess.

The rules:

Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 15 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold/Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.

A couple of these I suppose I technically put the first two lines up, but that's because I hate incomplete song phrases, and also because a few of them are really obscure (if anyone gets #8 I'll be stunned.)

I will also confess that these are actually 15 of the first 40 songs off the shuffle option of my Ipod, for a number of reasons. Namely, I omitted any songs that were:

a) instrumental only (5 or 6 of the songs I skipped over fit this description)
b) from the same albums/artists as songs already used (this happened a number of times, apparently my Ipod isn't feeling very random, because I got about 4 songs off a single soundtrack)
c) songs I'm not familiar with because they're from albums Mr. Ambrya has on my Ipod that I don't listen to
d) not songs at all, such as stand-up comedy routines (seriously, I got three or four Robin Williams tracks and at least one Denis Leary)

And here are the lyrics:


1) What is this feeling of power and drive, I've never known?

2) Life's a show, and we all play our parts
AsuranConvict got it -- "Something To Sing About" from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Once More, With Feeling"

3) You'll never make me stay, so take your weight off of me

4) What to do? What to say? Shall you carry our treasure away?

5) Leaves are falling all around, it's time I was on my way Paskil got it, "Ramble On" by Led Zeppelin

6) Went downtown to see my cousin, plays guitar sounds like a chainsaw buzzin'

7) It wasn't really sad the way they said goodbye

8) By the last breath of the winds that blow, I'll have revenge upon fortunado

9) There's not a morning I begin without a thousand questions running through my mind

10) Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games Deathwysh got it, "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns & Roses

11) Lovin' you isn't the right thing to do PunkFloyd got it, Fleetwood Mac "Go Your Own Way"

12) Where once was light, now darkness falls

13) Shot like an arrow going through my heart

14) These are my friends, see how they glisten
ChanchanXI got it, "My Friends" from Sweeney Todd (the actual track that was playing was the Broadway revival, but I have the movie version on my Ipod as well and they're the same)

15) If it were love, I would give that love every second I had

Okay, folks, have at it

That's the only one I recognize. Welcome to the Jungle, Guns 'n Roses.

Zeppelin Ramble on

Okay, so apparently I suck as this game because I haven't guessed a single one anyone else has posted yet (well, I got the Beatles ones, but someone beat me to it.)

Only ones I know have already been answered :/

Here's mine. Only had 300 songs on my computer since I never bothered to rebuild my collection after formatting my HD.

1. Don't ask me
What you know is true
INXS - Never Tear Us Apart
-Ambrya/Flea

2. I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
Alicia Keys - No One
-Flea

3. All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian
-Ambrya

4. Is it me or does it seem that life just carries on?

5. Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Stevie Wonder - Superstitious
-Ambrya

6. I've been waiting
I've been waiting for this moment all my life

7. I know there's nothing to say
Someone has taken my place
Fleetwood Mac - Second Hand News
-Flea

8. How many special people change?
Oasis - Champagne Supernova
-Flea

9. Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
Oasis - Wonderwall
-Flea

10. Mom and dad went to a show
dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
Nirvana - Sliver
-Red/Mindel

11. I saw her there from afar
Her hair grey charcoal

12. Are you alone now
Did you lose the monkey?

13. Yeah, it goes away
All of this and more of nothing in my life

14. Well, my temperature's rising
and my feet on the floor

15. Fields are white in snowy spring and I can't remember
the last time that I've seen her

Fleetwood Mac or NOFX - Go Your Own Way

INXS, I think, but I'm blanking on the title of the song. I can hear it in my head though. ETA: Chorus goes something like "I ... I was standing. You were there...two worlds collided. And they can never tear us apart." I know that's the song, but I've never been a huge INXS fan, so I don't know if I've ever even known the title.



"Walk Like An Egyption" by The Bangles



Stevie Wonder, "Superstitious"



Gah, I'm gonna feel stupid when its reveled what these two are, because I know I should know them.

Ok, I admit for the last one I kept rotating forward through winamp until I came up with another song with lyrics in it. I listen to too much techno and trance for this thread.

GG Allen is buried in my hometown of Littleton, NH. Punks come from all over the world to **** and **** on his grave.

And coincidentally, I saw NOFX last night in Providence, RI.

They did not play Punk Guy.

They DID play Eat the Meek though, which up until now I'd never seen them play live.

Wow, I knew a bunch of yours.

1. Hold on to me love, you know i can't stay long.

2. Nothing suffocates you more than the passion of everyday human events.

3. Last night I was blown away I said a million things I'd never say.

4. A love song with no validity.

5. You don't have to wake up, not now, my love.

6. We all came out to Montreux, On the Lake Geneva shoreline. - Deep Purple - Smoke on the water.

7. Run and tell all of the angels, This could take all night. - Foo Fighters - Learn to fly.

8. I don't want to be no superman.

9. Here we are again, the jangle of my ankle chain is the only soung I can hear.

10. Can't sleep at night, The darkness enslaves me.

11. Hes got a road map of jupiter, A radar fix on the stars. - Rush - Dreamline.

12. And the road becomes my bride, I have stripped of all but pride. - Metallica - Where ever I may Roam.

13. Something takes a part of me, Something lost and never seen. - Korn - Freak on a leash.

14. Fourty detectives this week, fourty detectives strong.

15. The light in the window is a crack in the sky.
