On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list, write down your favorite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they can guess the songs.
1.All the Way to Jackson I don't think I'll miss you much. Once I get to Lafayette, I'm not gonna mind one bit.
Jackson, Lucinda Williams, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
2. No matter how strong, I'm gonna take you down with one little stone. I'm gonna break you down and see what your're worth. What you're really worth to me.
Dinner At Eight, Rufus Wainwright, Want One
3. I can feel it just for a minute and then it's gone...It's not gonna be like heaven for long.
Feel It, Some Girls, Feel It
4. Gotta piece of my heart on the sole of your shoe. I've got a little bit of thunder.
Mississippi, Paula Cole, This Fire
5. I dreamt a man. He fed me fine food. He gave me shiny things.
Plants & Rags, PJ Harvey, Dry
6. There you were day after day. Six Feet. Twenty Feet. Two feet away. Right in my pocket singing me a song.
You Each Time, Ani Difranco, Educated Guess
7. There you are, bathed in bright light. All your friends are gone. You've had a great fright. All the world's a stage.
Lullaby, Jonatha Brooke, Steady Pull
8. Tina went to the ladies room, and saw written on the wall, "If you'd like a very nice time, just give this number a call."
6060-842, The B-52s, The B-52s
9. There's no single explanation, there's no central destination. But this long line of cars is trying to get through.
Long Line of Cars, Cake, Comfort Eagle
10. They've just been waiting, in a mountain for the right moment. Listening to the irritating noises of dinosaurs and people dabbling outside.
The Modern Things, Bjork, Post
11. You can come inside and wake me up. We will pack and leave by dawn...And you say, "I hear something." And I'll say, "Never you mind."
Fishing in the Morning, Dar Williams, The Beauty of the Rain
12. You can look to the stars in search of the answers. Look for God and distant planets. Have your faith in everafter.
Heaven's Here on Earth, Tracy Chapman, New Beginning
13. Say you were split, you were split in fragments, and none of the pieces would talk to you....So better take the keys and drive forever....all the perfect drugs and superheroes wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero.
Humpty Dumpty, Aimee Mann, Lost in Space
14. You're standing alone, standing alone. However I should have known, I should have known. Never before, never again. You will ignore, I will pretend....You said you never would leave me alone.
How, The Cranberries, Everybody
15. Come down in silence, come down in fear. Come in peace...come down in tears. There's day when the light hits true...nights I feel your cigarette burn.
Red Dress, Jonatha Brooke, Steady Pull
16. I light your cigarette. I bring you apples from the farm. How quickly you forget...I bring you everything that floats into your mind.
Anything But Down, Sheryl Crow, The Globe Sessions
17. Red wine is fast, at the lip of your glass. Sayin' I'm gonna ruin everything. Everything. So it's better my sweet, that we hover like bees, 'cause there's no sure footing, no love I believe.
Outro with Bees, Neko Case, Blacklisted
18. Hair is grey and the fires are burning. So many dreams on the shelf. You say, "I wanted you to be proud of me." I always wanted that myself.
Winter, Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes
19. Before long there will be short. Before short there is nothing. When there was nothing, there was always the possibility of something, becoming what it is.
Deep Dish, Ani Difranco, Little Plastic Castle
20. Hello. I'm neurotic. Creating problems that don't exist. Don't believe me when I say it's alright. Let's go to my apartment. We'll pull the sheets up over our heads. Forget all reason and go outside.
Blue Lights, Pretty Girls Make Graves, The New Romance
