Because I'm bored

Step 1: Open up whatever MP3 program you use and add every song in your collection.
Step 2: Put it on random.
Step 3: Pick your favorite lines from the first 20 songs that play.
Step 4: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from .
Step 5: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 6: DON'T GOOGLE THEM!



1. I look in the mirror and see your face
if I look deep enough
so many things inside that are just like you are taking over

2. And turn
Turn the page
Start again
Change your name - Tom McRae, You Cut Her Hair zodiacs_cat

3. When the magic is strong
and we lose sight of each other
I will meet you in the silence
at the heart of the song

4. And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are

5. Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time

6. You know my mama loved me
But she don't understand
They keep a-showin' my pants
And not my face on TV

7. My love, she’s good, she’s wise
Like a redwood tree, and
Her dreams, they grow, my soul
Can’t shine without her smile

8. Wasn’t blind to the magic, you think I’m so tough
Turning back on the thunder just ain’t good enough

9. if i smile and don't believe
soon i know i'll wake from this dream
don't try to fix me i'm not broken
hello i'm the lie living for you so you can hide - Evanescence, Hello daydreamweaver

10. I once was lost, but now I'm just blind
Palm trees and weeds, scabbed knees and rice

11. I’ve got your picture, I’ve got your picture
I’d like a million of them all round my cell
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well

12. You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done - Coldplay, Talk killfalcon

13. Bloodshot your smile
Delicate and wild
Give me she wolf style
Rip right through me

14. Just like stars burning bright
Making holes in the night
We are building bridges

15. Whether the weather may be wet or fine
We'll just rub along without a care
We're going to hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line
If the Siegfried Line's still there - We're Gonna Hang Out the Washing on the Siegfried Line zodiacs_cat

16. Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast. - American Pie, Don McLean amishlurker

17. But things worked out just like you wanted to
If you see me out you dont know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what Im going to do

18. I am the darkness, you are the night
You make the darkness such a beautiful thing

19. Hey man
Play another one of those heartbreak songs
Tell another story how things go wrong
And they never get back

20. I jump to the left
and I roll to the right
Just try to win the belt every night! - I Am, I Am daydreamweaver

16 = Don McLean, American Pie

[keziath.livejournal.com]

Yup!

9-Evanesence, Hello
20-AJ Styles intro theme, I am I am, but Greg doesn't know who sings it.

[keziath.livejournal.com]

I don't know who sings it either, so that's good enough for me!

[dragonz.livejournal.com]

I... have no idea what any of these are from. xD I hope they're not from songs that I know and like, because that would just be embarrassing...
*waits for the answers*

I'll be very surprised if anyone guesses 3 or 7... and in a couple of cases, I was carefully avoiding tell tale lyrics ;)

2 is Tom McRae, You Cut Her Hair
16 is Don McLean's American Pie, as someone else said.

I remember learning a song about the Siegfried line in primary school, which had the same lyrics as your number 15, but unless it's called "We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line", I don't know what it's called!

[keziath.livejournal.com]

"We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line, have you any dirty washing mother dear?" ... and yes, it's called exactly that :)

And yay! Someone else knows Tom McRae!

[zodiacs-cat.livejournal.com]

Amusingly, I nearly wrote those exact words ("yay! Someone else knows Tom McRae!") when I made my original post:)
He's great, more people should listen to him.

[keziath.livejournal.com]

Hee!

He is awesome, yes. We need to spread the word!

Track 5 is a Mel C track, it was on the Teachers soundtrack.

Might be 'Making me high' or 'Stop playing with my mind', I don't know the title.

[keziath.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

If it's a Mel C track, then it's a cover ;P

And neither of those names are right.

[killfalcon.livejournal.com]

12 is Coldplay. Talk, I think.

[keziath.livejournal.com]

Yes, and yes :)
