Lyrics On The Loose

I saw this on Courtney's blog and thought it was pretty groovy.

Step 1: Put your (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike-out the songs when someone guesses the song and artist correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

** I made two additional caveats. I did not play two songs from the same artist or include a song which contained the title in the first line. **

  1. I'm not the hero who will always save the day.
  2. If God had a name, what would it be?
  3. This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen.
  4. What if the armies of the Lord picked up and dusted off their swords?
  5. Ooh you get me ready in your '56 Chevy, why don't we go sit down in the shade?
  6. I met a man locked away for things he hadn't done.
  7. Faded flowers in her room, as black as night without a moon.
  8. You're like a lonely statue, the wind and rain come at you.
  9. Well it's such a shame to let this go to waste, there's little time here for saving face.
  10. Cynical, it's just your way. You play the doubting Thomas, feels the scars and wipe the stains.
  11. Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high and the dreams that you dreamed of once in a lullaby.
  12. All my life is changing every day, in every possible way.
  13. And now we're just like old friends, we just can't pretend that lovers make amends.
  14. I'm what you're looking for, no need to search anymore, I'm in need of your saving.
  15. I've got another confession to make, I'm your fool.
  16. Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead.
  17. It's the song of the redeemed, rising from the African plain.
  18. Hope dangles on a string like slow spinning redemption.
  19. Here comes my faith to carry me on.
  20. What did you say? I know I saw you singing.

Good luck. Some of these are obscure songs, and I don't think I would even get some of the more common ones myself. Oh, and what a smooth transition from songs 4 to 5. Yikes.

Oh, and how do you do strikethrough on Blogspot?
