A Musical Meme

Saw this over at Annastazia’s place and loved it so I shamelessly stole it. Here’s how it goes:

1. Put your mp3 player or music player on your computer on random.
2. Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
3. Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.

Leave your guesses in the comments. Some will be super easy, but try not to cheat by Googling.

Here is mine. Apparently my iPod decided to throw you guys some really easy ones. Maybe a toughie or two, but I have faith in you all.

1. Don’t ask me
What you know is true
Don’t have to tell you
I love your precious heart
(guessed by Annastazia)

2. Me and all my friends
We’re all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing
And there’s no way we ever could
(guessed by Annastazia)

3. I don’t practice Santeria
I ain’t got no crystal ball
I had a million dollars
But I spent it all
(guessed by Kate and Divrchk)

4. I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
(guessed by Sarah)

5. What ravages of spirit
Conjured this temptuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rules of love
(guessed by Annastazia)

6. I know what you’re doing
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline
When I kiss away your tears
(guessed by Kate)

7. I wonder what it’s like to be a rainmaker
I wonder what it’s like to know that I made the rain
I’d store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one
And you could come and see them when I’m done
(guessed by Helen)

8. On another day, c’mon c’mon
With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong
Now we grieve ‘cause now it’s gone
Things were good when we were young
(guessed by Annastazia)

9. I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
(guessed by Helen)

10. Son, she said, have a I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothing but a…..
While you were sitting home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin’…. Sorry you didn’t see him, but I’m glad we talked
(partially guessed by Kate - it’s actually “Alive”)

11. Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she’s gone I can’t go on
Feelin’ two foot small
(guessed by Annastazia)

12. I’m fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
(guessed by Statia)

13. I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the West Coast
I don’t want to be your downtime
I don’t want to be your stupid game
(guessed by Annastazia)

14. In the days
When we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
(guessed by Kate)

15. Why can’t I get just one kiss
Why can’t I get just one kiss
There may be some things that I wouldn’t miss
But I look at your pants and I need a kiss
(guessed by Divrchk and Kate)

16. When I was young I knew everything
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I’m guilt-stricken sobbing with my head on the floor
Stop a baby’s breath and a shoe full of rice
(guessed by Kate)

17. All last summer in case you don’t recall
I was yours and you were mine, forget it all
Is there a line that I could write that’s sad enough to make you cry
When all the lines you wrote to me were lies
(guessed by Lisa)

18. I hear the clock it’s six a.m.
I feel so far from where I’ve been
Got my eggs and my pancakes too
Got maple syrup, everything but you
(guessed by Annastazia)

19. I’m gonna fight ‘em off
A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back
They’re gonna rip it off
Takin’ their time right behind my back
(guessed by Annastazia)

20. Drove downtown in the rain
Nine thirty on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
(guessed by Divrchk)
