Under The Hedge

Because Nobody Guessed Anything Last Time
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s)* from the first 30 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 (No lyric hunting! That is cheating!)

Okay, I think this'll be mostly first sentences rather than first lines and if the first line includes the title, I'm posting a latter one. Also skipping instrumental pieces. (Hey, what lyrics should I post for those?)

1. Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
~~2. Once there was a kid who got into an accident and couldn't come to school~~
3. His mama named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow, but something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong. NOT FIRST LINE
4. There's a time for love, and a time for healing. You can't go back and undo what's been done.
5. I was an unmarried girl I'd just turned twenty-seven
6. A mile frae Pentcaitland, on the road to the sea
7. You with the sad eyes don't be discouraged
8. By the storm-torn shoreline a woman is standing.
9. Well I'll be damned here comes your ghost again
10. She danced in the starlight, whispering a haunted tune to the night NOT FIRST LINE
11. Climbing the mountains of power, crossing the deserts of pain. (No guarantees. This one isn't on the internet and I'm not always entirely certain what I hear, but I tried to transcribe it once and this part I'm pretty sure of.)
~~12. I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me down. NOT FIRST LINE – and I think it's still easy.~~
13. kinou made nani mo kanjinakatta ano shigusa ga – SORRY!!
14. I heard the sound of voices in the night
15. Have you seen the old man In the closed-down market COVER, so only the title will do.
16. Where has the time gone...it seems to fly so fast One moment you're having fun, the next its come to pass
17. There are shadows in the sky Dancing in the air
18. That'd be Un Gallicien Libre A Paris by Carlos Nunez. The lyrics are probably up on Spanish sites as well, but I know less Spanish than I do French and I couldn't find my way to them on the French sites that came up when I googled.
19. I stood out here once before with my head held in my hands
20. A band of light is stretching across the ocean's rim
21. Merrily we sailed along, though the waves were plenty strong,
22. I was told once, by a friend of mine she had seen an olden sign.
23. Don't shed a tear for me I stand alone
24. Damn the wind, damn the weans, damn the weather as ye harness up old Betsy in the rain.
~~25. If God had a name what would it be?~~
~~26. Hes a rebel and a runner~~
27. We'll drink together. And when we drink we'll drink together, not alone!
28. We'll laugh and dance and sing, We'll drink all day and Bill will pay NOT FIRST LINE
29. The last that ever she saw him – Really only the first line as the second contains the title. I think it's easy, though.
30. Every generation blames the one before

Current Mood: happy
