Return of the Son of the Bride of the Music Meme.

[joiedecombat]

elsewhere7 resurrected the song lyrics meme! That means I get to do it again. Besides, it's been ages.

You guys know the drill: put your media player on shuffle, play the first however many songs, take down the first lines, make your friendslist guess the title and artist.

As usual, I am nice enough to cut out the songs that aren't in English.

1) You're always dancing down the street, with your suede-blue eyes.

2) Everybody wants a little piece of my time, but still I put you at the end of the line.

3) She can't tell me that all of the love songs have been written - she's never been in love with you before.
Lisa Loeb, "Sandalwood," guessed by narli

4) Baby, do you know what you did today? Baby, do you know what you took away?

5) I hate the world today. You're so good to me, I know, but I can't change.
Meredith Brooks, "Bitch," guessed by ahumblepen

6) Love me, love me; say you do. Let me fly away with you.

7) Well, I'm an eight-ball-shooting double-fisted drinking son-of-a-gun.
Gretchen Wilson, "I'm Here For The Party," guessed by ahumblepen

8) I've been meaning to tell you, I've got this feeling that won't subside.
Eric Carmen, "Hungry Eyes," guessed by infinitepryde

9) No, stay. I don't care what you've said or done.

10) You think I'm always making something out of nothing.

11) She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes.
Billy Joel, "She's Always A Woman" guessed by ahumblepen

12) Don't do it, darling. Don't you dare look in there.

13) Life isn't fair, so they tell me, because they think I wouldn't know.
Tom Smith, "A Boy And His Frog," guessed by infinitepryde

14) Oh pirates, yes they rob I, sold I to the merchant ship.
Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer, "Redemption Song," guessed by infinitepryde

15) If there's a prize for rotten judgment, I guess I've already won that.

16) Who can turn the world on with her smile?

17) Clearing webs from a hovel; a blistered hand on the handle of a shovel.
Indigo Girls, "Hammer and a Nail," guessed by infinitepryde

18) Saw a group of people forming 'round a figure lying down.

19) May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep, despite the wolves outside your door.

20) You had plenty money in nineteen twenty-two.

21) Bottle of white, bottle of red, perhaps a bottle of rose instead?
Billy Joel, "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant," guessed by ahumblepen

22) Can't close my eyes, they're wide awake.

23) Turn down the lights, turn down the bed, turn down the voices inside my head.
