This is much more fun than the usual list-of-titles!

"Put your player on Random, & pick your favourite line from each of the 1st 10 songs. Post the lyrics & cross them off as people guess them correctly. No sneaky using google."

The only drawback to the rule is that I don't have access to LJ during the day, so I will probably not be able to keep pace with the answers.

That's assuming, of course, that my music isn't too old/obscure enough for people to guess.


1. A cold and friendless tide has found you.

2. Oh yes I am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain.

3. She plays Medea later this week.

4. My heart should be wildly rejoicing. Oh what's the matter with me?

5. Tonight's the night we'll make history, honey you and I.

6. When I first got home my wife Teresa beat me, but the blows fell very lightly on my back.

7. Dwight Yoakum's in the corner, trying to catch my eye. Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh.

8. Without him, I feel his arms around me, and when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me.

9. Hey man, did you know we used to be brothers, yeah, in some past life?

10. I follow the night, can't stand the light.


Actually, most of these are probably going to be fairly easy for some of you.
