Guess the lyrics

[fredericks]

Because I can stall making a real entry for as long as humanly possible.

The opening lyrics⁺ to songs played at random on my playlist are below. Guess the song and the artist, win a prize*

1. Staring at the sea; will she come?/Is there hope for me, after all is said and done? - Nine Inch Nails, "The Great Below"
2. If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade -Cranberries, "Linger"
3. I feel so extraordinary/ Something's got a hold on me - New Order, "True Faith"
4. Now somebody told me that the trouble's at home/ 'cause we never talk alot when we spend time alone
5. Rendest rachib, rhud rhip zelp/ Borachs un fun dehl noach, shochen zoap
6. We'll be together again/ I've been waiting for a long time - Erasure, "Stop"
7. There is a child sleeping near his twin/ The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
8. Ten...kiss me on the lips/nine...run your fingers through my hair. - Touch and Go, "Straight to Number One"
9. Open your eyes, I see your eyes are open/wear no disguise for me, come into the open
10. Sure that star can twinkle/And you're watching it do - Tori Amos, "Twinkle"
11. How can I explain when there are few words I can choose?/How can I explain when words get broken? - Erasure, "Chains of Love"
12. I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard - Linkin Park, "Faint"
13. Look; I'm standing naked before you/don't you want more than my sex? - Tori Amos, "Leather"
14. Iron birds of fortune/ adrift above the skies/ cloudy revelations/ unseen by naked eyes
15. I close my eyes/ only for a moment and the moment's gone. - Kansas, "Dust in the Wind"
16. I'm crazy flowing over with ideas/ A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere
17. Now I've told you this once before/ You can't control me
18. You're such an inspiration for the ways that I'll never ever choose to be... -A Perfect Circle, "Judith"
19. You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you - Nine Inch Nails, "Closer"
20. Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina/ i ka pono `o Hawai'i

+unlike some people *ahem*geeklovegod*ahem*, I make this doable.

*no prize will actually be given out

Bingo! Kansas - gotta love those bands named for geographical locations.

[mintyduck.livejournal.com]

#3 is True Faith by New Order!

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Very good. Bonus points for using the Ekobisi icon. :)

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

6 is Stop. I'll give that to you because you had it, dang it.
8 is from QAF. Come on, you have to know the title at least. :)

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

*not really

[living-kindness.livejournal.com]

1) Trent...And dammit, I know the name...It's on the tip of my tongue...The Great Below?

15) Kansas, Dust in the Wind
18) Trent again, Closer

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

These aren't the songs I expected you to get at.all. You're disappointing me, grasshopper. :)

You got the title to 8 so I'm giving it to you.

[living-kindness.livejournal.com]

Dude, my brain right now is so jacked up...LOL. I got Trent! You should expect that much of me!

[peacelizard.livejournal.com]

Only two I know are 18 and 19.

18 is Mer De Noms by A Perfect Circle and 19 is Closer by Nine Inch Nails

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

You have the right artist but the wrong song for 18. I know you know it, though. Prolly a slip of the fingers.

[living-kindness.livejournal.com]

...How did I not see 18? It's Judith, A Perfect Circle. Formerly my favorite song ever.

[anogete.livejournal.com]

2. "Linger" - The Cranberries
18. "Judith" - A Perfect Circle

[lostcrackerjack.livejournal.com]

# 10 is Tori - "Twinkle"

# 13 is Tori - "Leather". :-P

[sternel.livejournal.com]

13. Look; I'm standing naked before you/don't you want more than my sex?


Tori Amos, Leather. Go me. I'm doing this because procrastination is a really good thing tonight.

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

*grin* By the icon if you didn't get those I'd have been disappointed.

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

You too? It's contagious.

There was a Weiner dog "gathering" of sort in Washington Square Park this afternoon, btw. I thought of you as I was wadding through all those disturbingly cute mini-dogs. There might have been 500 or so with owners. Very Twilight Zone.

[sternel.livejournal.com]

Gah. Too many damn tiny dogs in this town. It's really freakin' disturbing. Says she who has a small dog.

[joymaro.livejournal.com]

OMG I'm so dumb! "Straight to #1"

*head-desk*

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Go you! Go claim your prize!
...
Aww, we're fresh out. Sorry.

[devoosha.livejournal.com]

I just have to say...I love that Dust in the Wind is in the midst of a playlist of NIN and Tori Amos :D

[geeklovegod.livejournal.com]

+unlike some people *ahem*[info]geeklovegod*ahem*, I make this doable.
is it my fault that I have... unique... musical tastes? :)

saying that, the only 2 of your's I recognise are 18 and 19, but they're already achieved

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

*grin* My stuff is more like a Jack station than anything else. I didn't post any of the soca/calypso songs that came up because I was certain no one would get those.

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

You don't get the Led out? I felt certain you would have gotten that song. My taste does tend to be a bit pop-y, although the player seemed to really like Erasure last night.

[geeklovegod.livejournal.com]

I have actually never listened to them...

[juanitadark.livejournal.com]

7 is Dream Brother by Jeff Buckley. Is 5 Rammstein? 9 is seriously bugging me.

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

7 is correct. 5 isn't Rammstein; I don't believe that's German. I guess it's one of those lines you're not going to know unless you know the artist. :)

9 is...think 80s - early 90s. It's a band that has a number of entries on this thing already.
