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

   His ear lobe fell in the deep
   Someone reached in and grabbed it - "Rock Lobster", B-52s, grue23

   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

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

   As she lies here beside me, asleep with the night

5) Is They Might Be Giants, and I might have the song when I'm more coherent.

It's "The World's Address".

grue23 is gonna strangle me. Or possibly you. Or maybe both of us. ;)

That icon cracks me up completely.

What? He posted the artist, I'm helping him out. He knew the risks, dammit! ;)

Thanks on the icon. I made it my little self, disturbingly enough. Where incriminating baseball photos and snarky fanfic acronyms collide, the result can only be hilarious.

It's just that I've been tormenting him for days with the knowledge that he should know this one. So to have someone else pull it out at the last second... :)

Kevin Millar is often comedy gold all by himself. Is that Varitek with him?

Someone gotta learn the boy that life ain't fair. ;)

Oh yes. The man Carson Kressley called "Quadzilla". The captain's "C" on his jersey is a giveaway!
