That 20 lyrics meme. Fire up your mp3 player and quote your favourite lyrics from the first 20 songs that play randomly. The random part explains the lameness of some of these (I didn't know I even had a few of these songs on my computer)

1. Don't you know I tried so hard to love you in my way
2. Lonely rivers flow to the sea
3. Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
4. Face unafraid the plans that we made
5. And we'll paint by numbers till something sticks
6. Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
7. Until the dolphins fly and parrots live at sea
8. They say you never miss the water until it's gone
9. I know I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around and wait for you
10. Held my hand when I got my first tattoo (I was naked and you penetrated) (this is such a Spike/Angel song. The album's filled with Spike/Angel songs, actually)
11. I touched your face while you were sleeping
12. His eyes upon your face, his hand upon your hand
13. Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
14. I could leave the bathroom light on for better dreams tonight
15. I know how Robert Browning must have felt
16. You send your lover off to China and wait for her to call
17. The voice of my father, still loud as before (it used to scare me, but not any more)
18. Something in your eyes that you cannot disguise - don't tell me that it ain't there
19. I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
20. I would lay myself down and with my fond wings I would my love surround

1. Sarah McLachlan--Adia
3. Dido--Don't Think of Me
4. Is this Winter Wonderland?
5. Putting on the Ritz?
6.

I think I know 5 of them. I suspect I should know more. *sheepish look*

1)Adia - Sarah McLachlan
3)Don't Think of Me - Dido?
5)Argh... it's on the tip of my tounge but... *head explodes with frustration* Kid's - Robbie W + Kylie?
11) East 17 - Stay Another Day (if this is right I'm kind of half impressed and half very concerned that I knew that)
16) Counting Crows - Hard Candy

I will not cheat using search engines. I will not cheat using search engines. I will not cheat using search engines. Believe me yet? *g*

2 - Unchained melody
12 - Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge?

And I swear I recognise 9 but for the life of me can't think from where. And I'd love to know what 17 is :)

Both correct! (17 is Amazed, by Poe)

Ooh, thank you. Will put that on my 'Must listen to' list :)

2) Unchained Melody, by about 100 different people over the decades.
5) Kids, by Robbie & Kylie
9) Hopelessly Devoted To You, by Olivia Newton-John

There's a couple more that seem familiar, but I can't for the life of me think what they are.

1. Adia - Sarah McLachlan
2. Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers (plus many, many others)
4. Winter Wonderland - Can't think of who sang it
5. Kids - Robbiw Williams and Kylie Minogue
6. I recognise the line, but I can't think of what it's from
11. Stay Another Day - East 17
17. Amazed - Poe (which is freaky, because 'Haunted' is one of the CDs in my stereo at the moment)

All right!

Most of the others strike a chord of recognition, but I couldn't name them. Of course, once I find out what they are I'll probably be all like "Of course!" *grin*

2 'Unchained Melody'
3 'Don't Think Of Me' Dido
4 'Winter Wonderland'
5 'Kids' Robbie Williams & Kylie Minogue
9 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' Olivia Newton John
11 'Stay Another Day' East 17
13 'Here Comes The Sun' The Beatles
18 'Summerbreeze' Emiliana Torrini
19 is Bob Dylan, although I can't remember what the song is called

re: #13. Damn it I knew it rang a bell! :)

#19. **points at icon** You don't think it could be that one, do you? 'Like a woman' I think...

19 is Don't Think Twice (It's Alright)

No one got number six? That's the easiest one!

6.) Puttin' on the Ritz -- by Irving Berlin or Cole Porter or ...?

or They Might Be Giants! *g*
