shuffled songs lyrics quiz

[solipsistnation]

The basics: Shuffle your digital audio player of choice, and post the first line or two of the first ten songs. Have your wonderful and erudite readers guess the songs. Hm, I have a lot of instrumentals and random things like that. This will not be the first ten songs, but it'll be sort of like that. Actually, I'll mostly just pick them.



1. Sometimes I want to be with you; Sometimes I feel a home - trystero
2. This is not love. this is not even worth a point of view.
3. Just one more time, for the sake of sanity
4. The man at the back of the queue was sent - kviri
5. How could the killer keep killing now that the killer's dead? - stophittinyrslf
6. I was telling you off but now I'm trying to get off
7. I sit stood there beside myself - kviri, tied with reddragdiva, 'cause I got a word wrong
8. Said Red Molly to James, That's a fine motorbike - stophittinyrslf and ninebelow, although neither got the year (1952). Half a point each.
9. I got home this morning with the sun right in my eyes
10. Hank Williams, he came up from Montgomery - stophittinyrslf

I almost get 7. but that's it. I expect I lose a lot of rocknerd points for this.

Oh, for shame!

Except I appear to have gotten it wrong too. Oop.

What if it were "I stood there beside myself?"

[reddragdiva]

Thinking hard about the weather!

There you go! And one point off for me.

4. Pet Shop Boys, "King's Cross"
7. New Order, "Perfect Kiss"

(#7 threw me for a minute, because it's "stood", not "sit". :)

#1 is He Said, "Watch Take Care"... :-)

I thought I knew number 10, but it turns out I'm wrong, so I won't guess it, even though I now know what it is, because I had to cheat to see if it was what I thought it was (it wasn't even close).

8) Vincent Black Lightening 1955 - Richard Thompson

[solipsistnation.livejournal.com]

1952, but yep.

[stophittinyrslf.livejournal.com]

it's not really superfair for me to play, but...
5 is john vanderslice, continuation.
8 is vincent black lightning, but i know you have versions of it by at least two people so i'm not sure which.
10 is fred eaglesmith, alcohol and pills.

You should get #9, too... 8)

[zonereyrie.livejournal.com]

I would've said #9 was 1952 Vincent Black Lightning - but I only know the Mary Lou Lord cover. :-)

#3 is...(cudgels brain for memory of actual track name)...Disappoint, on Assemblage 23's Failure. Track 4, I think? Or 5?
