Can You Tell the Song by the Words?

[Ironklaw]

So I was checking a few journals on FA (read: trolling for drama) and I stumbled upon this meme. Here's how it works: open your favourite music player (media player, winamp, itunes) and hit the "shuffle" or "random" button. Now play your music collection. For each song that plays, write the first complete sentence from that track. If it's an instrumental song, skip to the next track. Anyway, write down 25 of them and then post them up. Note, the first SENTENCE, not the first line (unless the first line is a sentence).

Once a list is up, people can try to guess at the names of the songs. (Also, make a list to remind you, if you need one.

I'll start:

1. Hold your grandmother’s bible to your breast.
2. It's colder than before.
3. Time is like a bullet from behind.
4. Coming out of my cage and I been doing just fine. (The Killers - Mr. Brightside - Guessed by Aelan)
5. Give head if you got it.
6. Help me out, I need it.
7. I have seen the mystics play there.
8. Maybe we'll meet again some day.
9. You Frighten me.
10.I'm your wicked Uncle Ernie.
11. Breathing an air, permeated, soaked in darkness.
12. All around me are familiar faces. (Tears for Fears - Mad World - Guessed by GoldMatenes)
13. Day after day, love turns grey, like the skin of a dying man.
14. I want you to know the thoughts my mind contains
15. Tom, get your plane right on time.
16. As soon as you're born, the make you feel small.
17. Remember when you were young?
18. I'm tired of blood and overpriced bubblegum, mom. (Matthew Good Band - Symbolistic White Walls - Guessed by GoldMatenes)
19. What God wants God gets, God help us all.
20. On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair. (The Eagles - Hotel California - Guessed by Aelan)
21. Emily tries, but misunderstands.
22. I never said I'd lie and wait forever.
23. Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball (The Who - Pinball Wizard - Guessed by GoldMatenes)
24. Ich werde in die Tannen gehen.
25. Selui qui était fort hier ne sera que poussière demain.

Damn, I only got two:

#4 Mr. Bright side by the Killers
#20 Hotel California by the Eagles

[GoldMatenes]

12 - Tears For Fears: Mad World
18 - Matt Good: Symbolistic White Walls
23 - The Who: Pinball Wizard

[Ironklaw]

Aelan: Right and Right.

Gold: Bonus points for getting the right artist for "Mad World". Most people would normally guess the Gary Jules version from Donnie Darko. Also, the other two are right.
