Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Write down the first line from the first 20 songs that play or close to it.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

Using the lappy playlist because it's the biggest. (It's so annoying having 3 computers!)

3. Evanescence, Bring Me to Life
6. Bon Jovi, Bitter Wine
8. Richie Sambora, Church of Desire
20. Pearl Jam, Alive

Others ring bells but don't have time to think...

#6 - right band, wrong song.

Although Bon Jovi are notorious for recycling lyrics so Bitter Wine probably starts that way too.

It doesn't but the tempo and feel are very similar.

Huh. thought I rushed it a bit. It's older than that, isn't it? Slippery or Jersey or *possibly* Faith. Similar sound. Hmmm...

Ooh damn, I can *hear* it in my head!

you say you've cried a thousand rivers, but now you're swimming for the shore
you left me drowning in my tears, baby you won't save me anymore

...I Want You?

Right lyrics!

Wrong title!

I have to go now.

No, thought it was slower, and earlier. I'll Be There for You!

Yay!

Almost positive it's on New Jersey. That's the only one I own, and I know this song. :)

is it I'll Be There For You? I can sing it in my head, but I can't get to the chorus from the first line :)
And #2....Let's Do the Twist?

#2 - nope

1) into my arms, Nick Cave
4) Everybodys free (to wear sunscreen) feat Quentin Tarver
10)My baby's gone to jail - DAAS

#4 is INCORRECT!

(it's a tricky one, Matt will probably get it)

see it is either that or the Piss take by John Saffron

Nope. Not John Saffran either.

I told you it was tricky.

mwwhhaaa haaa I know it!!
My lips are sealed!

4) Baz Lurmann's version?

the feat: quentin tarver version is the Baz Lurhman version

...oh!

yeah... I can never remember the actual person considered to be the artist... I just remember quentin tarver from the piss take "and if you see quentin tarver in the street, punch him in the face"

18. U2 - Where the streets have no name?

damn I knew that... I was listening to that last night

#19 is Nine Inch Nails. I'd have to get out my cds to tell you the song, but there you go.

"Well you got me working so hard lately, working my hands down to the bone." ;)
