i suck so hard at these. i think i'll have a better go of it on this side of the meme. some of these are pretty obscure. some of them have the title right there in the first line. but overall, it's surprisingly a pretty good sample of what i listen to (except for that one glaring omission - hmph).


Step 1: Put your iPod on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 32 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!


1. hard days made me, hard nights shaped me
2. danger, in the shape of something wild
3. i search your profile for a translation, i study the conversation like a map
4. my friend michael stivey, he can not talk plain
5. i'm so money, so money
6. all our secret they are tailored trouble, draped loose now around your hips
7. i never had it, i never wanted it, i never had your beauty mark
8. in my solitude, you haunt me
9. i'm like a beggar with no luck
10. i made a river from my front door to yours, i built myself a raft with my living room doors
11. the boys and girls of millbrook are on the train from new york

12. the strangest things i've always known, it slays me every time
13. in a forest of stone underneath a corporate canopy where the sun rarely filters down the ground is not so soft
14. dead leaves and the dirty ground when i know you're not around

15. when we all had finally washed ashore, it was clear there was no one else around
16. success has its price

17. dreamt i was dead sleeping in your bed, floated up from the ground and looked down
18. closer, no hesitation, give me, all that you have
19. i took cutie for a ride in my deathcab, she tipped me with a kiss i dropped her off at the meth lab
20. cry, come to me and cry, i know i know i know it's not easy
