guess the lyrics meme, v2

play 20 tracks off of shuffle, pick your favorite lyric from each one, and let people guess the songs... parantheses are me interjecting, not lyrics

  1. What a wonder is a gun/what a versatile invention./First of all when you've a gun - (big pause)/everybody pays attention!
  2. All walls are great if the roof doesn't fall
  3. When you're gone/how can I even try to go on?/When you're gone/though I try how can I carry on?
  4. Like sinatra in a younger day
  5. It's the rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite/let me please be your catering advisor (mwahahahaha!)
  6. And will you please say hello/to the folks that I know/tell 'em that I won't be long./And they'll be happy to know, that as you saw me go I was/singin' this song.
  7. Thoughts meander like a/restless wind inside a letter box
  8. I noticed she's been listenin'/a lot to Joy Division/lately
  9. I'm the train and you're the station/I'm a flagpole to your nation (so overt i have to love it)
  10. It's quite possible that i'm your third man girl/but it's a FACT that I'm the seventh son
  11. Straddle the line/in discord and rhyme (I include this solely because I used to think the line was "disco and time")
  12. Why ask why?/For by the by and by.
  13. How can I save my little boy/from Oppenheimer's little toy?
  14. Before this river/becomes an ocean/before you throw my heart back on the floor./Oooooh, oh baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
  15. And darkness spreads over the snow/like ancient bruises
  16. Oh Fatherland, Fatherland, show us the sign/your children have waited to see./The morning will come/when the world is mine
  17. I love you even more/than I did before/But darling, what can I do?
  18. I bet Jim Morrison is there/and Kurt/and Jerry/and the guy from Sublime/and other people who have died.
  19. She's been living in her white bread world/as long as anyone with hot blood can./And now she's looking for a downtown man;/That's what I am!
  20. We watch the shows,/we watch the stars/on videos for hours and hours.

let's see that comments section light up!
