The playlist guessing game

[mcroft]

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.

1. Watched by empty silhouettes
   Solsbury Hill, bassfingers
2. Fairy lights and Pit Ponies were the stuff of my dreams
3. I've been good and I've been bad/But common sense I've never had
4. Lunchtime in the USA: Boloney and American Cheese
5. Gu 'm bithidh buill nach feum a splaghsáil/Ar mo mhaighdean as a thigh'n dhachaidh
6. September found them heading for the West
   Tiger Bay, bassfingers
7. And 'blackbirding's' easier than whaling.
8. Ridin' top the floodway on a Friday night,the landscape's a fine and nat'ral sight.
9. May they all sleep tight/Down in hell tonight/Or wherever they may be
10. Rusted Mosquitos suck the blood from the ground
11. Within sight are golden days
12. OK, here we are get the f*ck out of my cab, goodbye
13. look someone in the eyes and say you'll satisfy them, Though you both know the way love is, that's a lie
14. The goldenrod he has cast in to see what the lake might yield.
    The Witch of the Westmerelands, bassfingers
15. The philabegs are comin' doon tae gie yer lugs a claw
16. The midnight train runs both ways
17. He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding doorum
18. You'll awake in a room of steam
19. If I had it all to do again, I'd be swinging from the mast.
    Drunkard's Wave, hangingfire
20. Cause her dark angel waits on the corner/With his silver pills and his Spanish charm

Have fun, I am quite curious to know if my friends know these songs.

I can't speak to your luck, but you're wrong, in the right ballpark on this one.
