That iTunes lyrics meme

yendiYeah, it's one of the few memes I'll do. Lyric snippets from the last twenty-five songs (not counting the one in "current music") that iTunes chose for me. I realized (looking over the "recently played" list) that, for once, I went through a long period without most of the more obscure folks I listen to. Very little folk, punk, or showtunes here. Only one artist is repeated here, and I expect most of these to be pretty easy (really, I may have to disown anyone who gets #5 wrong). No using Google, of course. No prizes for knowing all of these, either, other than the knowledge that you listen to too much music.
#21, by the way, is the first music video I ever saw.
1. And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
2. You keep on saying you’ll be mine for a while
3. But there's no cute boys in Decatur
4. Now he won't be my fast gun anymore.
5. Poland, Romania, Scotland, Albania
6. Hey Al Capone, is that who you think you are?
7. And the lamppost can’t stop crying.
8. I know it's awful hard to try to make love long distance
9. Let me out of this cheap B movie.
10. You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain’t nice.
11. And if you talk to walls, only walls will answer.
12. If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator.
13. And in my dreams she takes my hand when i make my stand
14. We could stay out late and we would never hear last call.
15. I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more
16. You'll be the Tigris, I'm Euphrates.
17. Still we're often told "seek and ye shall find."
18. You'll have to get up early to be smarter than a whore
19. It's the same desire to feel the fire that's comin' your way.
20. Besides, a name like that doesn't make a good acronym.
21. Do you have to make a fuss everytime we fly.
22. We're baptized in these waters and in each other's blood
23. You walk the road to resurrection.
24. I can't give back what I ain't taken, and I won't give up, if I ain't found.
25. Do the watusi just give us a chance

I'm awful at identifying songs without hearing the music.

The rest -- no idea.

Date: 2004-05-06 05:32 am (UTC)I look at the most recent CD as an EP with some extra songs. The first five tracks, plus "Sally Anne," are all fun, the rest, eh.
