I love this. I got it from
Meagan via
Billie. Here are the rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike through when someone gets them right (Thanks Mike G)
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.
Okay, here's mine:
1.
All of me, why not take all of me?2.
Oh the girls all dance with the boys from the city and they don't care to dance with me.3.
I had a friend was a big baseball player back in high school. 4. Your back curls like a creeping vine with the answers in the fluid and the stem of the spine
5.
The dark is dropping like a spot of black ink squeezed into a glass of water6.
When your faith in life is gone come and speak to me.7.
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground 8.
There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range. 9.

She's got a smile that it seems to me reminds me of childhood memories where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky. 13.
Come my lady, come come my lady. 14.
We were born before the wind, also younger than the sun. 15.
I feel the hunger, it's a hunger that tries to keep a man awake at night16.
My circus train pulls through the night full of lions and trapeze artists 17. A little bit of bourbon and a broken neon sign, once again I'm riding shotgun to everything that's on my mind.
18.
You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends . . . 19. Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in, in my head, in my heart, in my soul.

Is #1 is "All of Me" but I can only think of it from that Steve Martin / Lily Taylor movie? It's a pretty old song though. Like a Harold Arlen song or something. Sinatra?
I think 21 is Bright Eyes. It's the song with "Blues" in the title from I'm Wide Awake.
By the way, type <s> to strike through text and </s> to turn off the strikethrough.
Right on the first one scrivener, but not on #21 (although a decent guess, given some of the other stuff on my list). My version of All of Me is by Willie Nelson.
