The return of the son of the lyrics game from the Black Lagoon

Guess the song from the first line. More lines will be added as the week progresses. iTunes et. al. yes, Google no (i.e. no using the Internet to search for song lyrics, but listening to music you own is fair game).

Random Section

There's still a little bit of your taste - "Cannonball", Damien Rice, letters_to_ed

If time itself was his demeanor
There’d be no sunlight or a glimmer
Of sunlight landing on the street - "Never Say Never", Romeo Void, luvmoose

What among the lovers
What twang of temptation
What brought the house down

Now I'm not feeding off you - "These Days", R.E.M., angeltaisha

When I get to the bottom - "Helter Skelter", The Beatles, grue23

[song title]
I can't survive
I can't stay alive
Without your love, oh baby

You come from far away - "Gypsy", Suzanne Vega, peachespig

What a drag it is, getting old - "Mother's Little Helper", The Rolling Stones, helianthemum

Do I stress you out - "All I Really Want", Alanis Morissette, luvmoose

Oh [song title]
Look what you've done - "Lilian", Depeche Mode, grue23

The songs in this section have something in common. Guess the songs, guess the theme.

This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue - "Take the Money and Run", Steve Miller, letters_to_ed

b: opportunities, PSB

gak nice

e. Murder by Numbers, The Police.

Theme: committing crimes

I'm gonna refine it to "plotting crimes"

Yes. Theme is just "crime" so you're good with either guess. ;) I had wanted "Crime and Punishment" but I couldn't think of another good song about being in jail, so I simplified.

5) helter skelter - the beatles (or u2)

The Beatles. I didn't know U2 had covered this song. I do, however, have a cover by The Bobs that is quite nice.

ah, there's occasional pop culture references to what Bono says right before it plays on Rattle & Hum:

"This is a song Charles Manson stole from The Beatles... we're stealing it back..."

a. Bank Job BNL

9. All I Really Want, Alanis

7 gypsy, suzanne vega

c. I Fought The Law, and The Law Won, ???

O yeah.

The Clash

d. "Take the Money and Run" Steve Miller

1. "Cannonball" Damien Rice

Cool, I wasn't sure anyone would get this one. :)

I love that CD. When I first bought it, I listened non-stop!! :)

8 - mother's little helper, rolling stones.

Oops, that's me, not logged in at work...

Gotcha! :)

10. Martha My Dear?

Nope. I can see where you might get that, though.

Doh! Back to the drawing board.

BTW, I'm reading the no pants thing and it is *completely hysterical*

Hee! Isn't it? The reactions are priceless.

Number 4 is These Days By REM

10) Depeche Mode - Lilian

I might like you better if we slept together...

2. Never Say Never, Romeo Void

Cool, I wasn't sure anybody would get that one. :) Not the most obvious first lines.

G'night
