The song meme thingy.

[clappamungus]

That first-line song meme. 20 of them. Some may be bleedingly obvious, others not so much. God I hate the lab!

1. I am the world that hides the universal secret of all time
2. Come closer, my darling, don't tease me, not tonight
3. Almost every day, I see the same face on broken picture tube, it fits the attitude
4. I said to father, hold onto your beads man
5. I’ve been stuffed in your pocket for the last hundred days
6. I woke the same as any other day except a voice was in my head
7. Welcome to where time stands still
8. Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
9. The following is a true story, only the names have been changed to protect the guilty
10. The lunatic is on the grass
11. Look out, mama, there�'s a white boat comin'� up the river
12. Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town?
13. We might kiss when we are alone
14. I've got to feeling low for making light of whatever you said
15. You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
16. I thought I saw him on the video, the trance is keeping him under
17. My mamma wants to know where I'm spending all my dough
18. We had a lot of luck on Venus, and we always had a ball on Mars
19. There's the moon asking to stay, long enough for the clouds to fly me away
20. When your stars are baked, and your rivers fly, do you ever believe you were stuck out in the sky

Hope some of the aren't too obscure, but...meh. Too tired now.

For those who haven't played before, guess the songs titles that these first lines come from. In case it wasn't bloody clear enough!

Ok, I'll kick it off: 8 is Black, by Pearl Jam, and 10 is by Pink Floyd, and I think is called Brain Damage.

And 13 is Delicate, by Damian Rice

[clappamungus.livejournal.com]

Yup to both.

Hmm. Why do you have so much music I don't know? Oh, that's it, you're ultra-metal-hard-core-rocker, and I'm mainstream/alternative-indie-strays-into-other-stuff-lad. 16 is Queens of the Stone Age - God Is In The Radio.

Is that really how you see yourself and how you see me? Interesting. Automatically I'm a headbanger because I happen to like heavy metal - yet there are more than just heavy metal songs on that list.
