Yep, it's that thing again. Sorry that some are really short. Firefox died so I couldn't look up lyrics and had to go by ear. If I couldn't understand the next line I just left it out.

2. When I read your letter I couldn't believe that you'd gone
3. Some call me Georgie Boy, some call me L'Andrew
4. Had you rushing headlong you gotta new goal - Headlong - Queen (sunrise_raver)
5. You, you gotta nasty reputation - Raise Your Hands - Bon Jovi (lotus79)
6. Follow me, don't follow me - Orange Crush - R.E.M. (urbpan)
7. I believe I can see the future
8. Well I got my beach towel and I'm heading down to the surf - Blond Headed Stompie Wompie Real Gone Surfer Boy - Little Pattie (firvulag)
9. Must be your skin I'm sinkin' in - Glycerine - Bush (riverstar)
10. Tryin' to make it little by little - Dressed For Success - Roxette (madradish)
11. I was born long ago - Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz (shirazz)
12. You got the world for your birthday baby - Ordinary Angels - Frente! (jakie_em)
13. On the day I was born the nurses all gathered 'round - Bad To The Bone - George Thorogood (urbpan)
14. You don't remember me, but I remember you - Tears On My Pillow - Bobby Vee (lotus79)
15. Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath - Missing You - John Waite (ellig123)
16. On days of grey when doubt clouds my view, it's so hard to see past my fears
17. You're keeping in step in the line
18. She wanted to test her husband
19. Stop your messing around, better think of your future

Tears on my Pillow!

Is it the Kylie Minogue version, or the original? (Leslie Gore? Not sure.)

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

The version I had playing was Bobby Vee's. I think it has been much covered.

10 is Dressed for Success by Roxette. Great song!

so is the title of the post (i just noticed it)

the box is ticks on, the core is a bomb
the world is silent but you listen like a lover to it.

I think 15 is 'Missing You', the version I know is by Tina Turner but I don't know if there are others.

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Tina Turner did a version? Wow.

This is John Waite's (the original as far as I know). He's the guy who was the lead singer for Bad English (their hit was When I See You Smile).

4 - Headlong by Queen
10 - Dressed For Success by Roxette

11. Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Well done. That was one of the songs that I just could not decipher the rest of the line so I left it really short.
