Lyrics game for a Friday

[owlmoose]

You all know the drill. Guess the songs from the first lines. iTunes et. al. yes, Google no. No duplicate artists. Includes my first attempt at a theme section! Answers for last week.

1. Switch off the mind and let the heart decide
   who you were meant to be
   Flick to remote and let the body glide
   There is no enemy - "Windpower", Thomas Dolby, unguessed


2. This is a story of seven brothers - "Love is Stronger Than Justice", Sting, madlori
   
3. I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone - "You Learn", Alanis Morissette, madlori


4. We were at a party
   His ear lobe fell in the deep
   Someone reached in and grabbed it - "Rock Lobster", B-52s, grue23


5. I know you deceived me
   Couldn't sleep last night
   Now my tearstains on the wall reflect an ugly sight
   I can see your secrets -- They Might Be Giants, grue23, "The World's Address", peachespig


6. And I was lost for words in your arms
   Attempting to make sense of my aching heart - "Not Enough Time", INXS, angeltaisha


7. You see me in a foreign face
   In ships that sink without trace - "The Advesary", Crime and the City Solution, grue23

9. And you know it's time to go - "A Sort of Homecoming", U2, grue23


10. The streets are lined with camera crews - "Family Snapshot", Peter Gabriel, grue23

These songs have something in common. Guess the songs, guess the theme

1. I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that l love
   As she lies here beside me, asleep with the night
   And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow

Of course you may. :)

Thanks a lot! You can also friend mine if you like, although I am not sure what kind of riveting things you may read on my journal, LOL! OH! I had a question about this game; How many songs can one answer? just for future reference.

No limit -- as many as you can get. peachespig has been known to practically run the table (although I note that he hasn't gotten any yet this week).

I had been thinking about friending you anyway, so cool. :)

Cool! I'm such a sucker for these music games. I look forward to next weeks one.

If you don't want to wait, I know both peachespig and helianthemum both have unanswered lines right now. Everyone who does these without locking them always invites anyone to play so feel free to check them out. Have fun!!
