This is making the rounds of my flist; seized by a fit of nostalgia, I was unable to resist.

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING! Though, really, can I stop you?
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

Beware of the women who grind up men's hearts

Drunk on wine, I'm amazing

Well there's a Peter Pan moon, shepards' delight

Can't close my eyes, I'm wide awake

I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend -- "Birdhouse in Your Soul", They Might Be Giants, peachespig

Oh, do you know, where to go, where to go? -- "Sunday", The Cranberries, ovo_lexa

We wish, no must, make our disgust at this abuse perfectly clear.

The winter here's cold and bitter

I want a trip inside your head -- Miracle Drug, U2, peachespig

Drivin' in my Saab

Time won't stand by forever if I know it's true

So you're with her, not with me

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise -- "I Can See for Miles", The Who, peachespig

Sister bring my hat and coat and gloves to me

And I was lost for words in your arms

Love is a dress that you made

Don't tell the director I said so -- "Miss Gradenko", The Police, ovo_lexa

When I kiss your lips I just don't want to behave

Six o'clock already -- "Manic Monday", The Bangles, peachespig

From beneath the bedroom floor it is hunting me

(hey man) Oh leave me alone you know

This is the man that I plan to entangle, isn't he fine? -- "I'll Never Tell", Once More, With Feeling, dagas_isa
