Is it cheating to do a meme for NaBloPoMo? This is one that floated around ages ago… I really enjoyed it on other people’s blogs but never did it on mine. Wanna play?

I put my iTunes on shuffle. These are the first lines of the first 25 songs that came up. Can you name them?

1. All of the sudden she disappears, just yesterday she was here
2. All my little plans and schemes, lost like some forgotten dreams
3. You say you’re not from Texas, man, as if I couldn’t tell
4. I want a girl with a mind like a diamond, I want a girl who knows what’s best
5. Sing, muse, of the passion of the pistol/ Sing, muse, of the warning by the whistle
6. I’m in love with you girl ’cause you’re on my mind, you’re the one I think about most every time
7. I was watching with one eye on the other side/ I had fifteen people telling me to move
8. Long is the day, take it away, hold it up and you don’t let it fall
9. Got no place to go but there’s a girl waitin’ for me down in Mexico
10. I feel like a quote out of context, withholding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see
11. You’re a vision all undone, you are the best kind of dreadful I’ve ever been a part of
12. Turn down the lights, turn down the bed/ turn down these voices inside my head
13. Starting to see just how I get so lost when I’m looking at the book outside the counselor’s door
14. Many’s the time I ran with you down the rainy roads of our old town
15. Chicka-pow! Don’t shoot me down, Oh no, how low can you go
16. Now many many years ago when I was 23, I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
17. County road 233, under my feet, nothin’ on this white rock but little ole me
18. Gonna close my eyes, girl, and watch you go running through this life darling like a field of snow
19. Kiss me baby on the curb, throw your arms around my waist, send me off with your sweet words
20. I wanna hear some music, now that they’re driving us all underground
21. Looking round the room, I can tell that you are the most beautiful girl in the room
22. The summer air was heavy and sweet, you and I on a crowded street
23. The ice is thin enough for walkin’, the rope is worn enough to climb
24. The Eiffel Tower built to smaller scale, the freshest oxygen I’d ever inhale
25. Please just deliver me peace and a chance to stay

Ready… go! Whatcha got?
