My music meme

So Miss Ann did this thing that she got from Adena who got it from someone else who got it from someone else, etc. Anyway, it's a music meme, and I really suck at these so I thought I would do one of my own so that at least somewhere on the internet there is a list of lyrics that I know.

Of course it's cheating. Duh. I'm also going to skip Wolf's music because this is my blog, not his. Plus I don't want a bunch of Toto and techno crap on my list. (We have very different tastes in music.) Yes, this is probably cheating too, but I'm ok with it. After all, this is supposed to represent music that *I* listen to, right?

Anyway, here are the rules:

1. Put your mp3 player or music player on your computer on random.
2. Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
3. Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
4. Don’t fucking cheat, you Google whores!

MY SONGS:

1. Early in the morning risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone

2. What do you think of me?
Are you quite proud of this make-believe
The come down, that hangs around everything
You can admire in that girl

3. What ever happened to Saturday night?
When you dressed up sharp and you looked alright
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine

4. I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

5. I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that youve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand

6. If I was a Rich Girl
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end

7. I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you've never met anyone
Who is as negative as I am sometimes

8. Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait I know you'd understand
Ev'ry time I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong

9. 2:45 and the bell went off, thank God
Many people think I'm odd
But I talk with no one and I walk alone
And I avoid sunlight with a chalky tone

10. I get really sick and tired of boys up in my face
Pick up lines like "What's your sign" won't get you anyplace
When me and all my girls go walking down the street
It seems we can't go anywhere without a car that goes "Beep-beep"

11. I cant explain glacial motion
Or why los angeles dont drop into the ocean
I cant unfold the layers of mystery
Or piece together the tragedy of history

12. Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh
Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high......aaaaaaaahhhh

13. Hey I’m your life
I’m the one who takes you there
Hey I’m your life
I’m the one who cares

14. I don't need no doctor
But I need something to kill the pain
Don't know what I'm after
But the pressure's driving me insane

15. I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came here to you, sweet lady
Answering your mystical call

16. I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain
I'm coming on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die

17. She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air

18. Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face?

19. (The opening lyrics are the chorus in this, so I skipped ahead to make it harder)
Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing
Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring
and I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high
So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try

20. I was lonelier than Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert
That night I strolled on into Uncle Limpy's Hump Palace lookin' for love.
It had been a while.
In fact, three hundred and sixty-five had come and went since that midnight run haulin' hog to Shakey Town on I-10.

I'll take your word for it, but it would be soooo much more fun if you listed them. Most are easy I think, but I'll be very impressed at a few of them.

Seriously. I suck at this game! LOL I am very disappointed! in myself. I listen to so much music and I have yet to guess any song on anyone's post who has done this meme

Soda, none of them!? You're going to be mad at yourself when I post the answers. Some of mine are REALLY easy. You have to know #3. You just have to.
