Let it rock, let it roll…

Blatantly stealing an idea from Carla and Adriene

(This only works if people actually read my blog)

I’ve got my player on shuffle, and I’ve listed the first lines of the first 25 songs that pop up. (Although I cheated and made sure they were all different artist, because I didnt have that many to choose from)

Your job is to guess what song it is! I’ll cross the songs off as people guess the right ones. (If I can figure out how)

1. “We might kiss when we are alone when nobody’s watching…”

2. “Early one morning the sun was shining I was laying in bed…”

3. “This is where the party ends I can’t stand here listening to you…”

4. “When I was a young boy, said put away those young boy ways…”

5. “And to love a god and to fear a flame….”

6. “Money talks but it dont sing and dance and it don’t walk…”

7. “I sit two stories above the street it’s awful quiet here since love fell asleep…”

8. “I don’t how to explain it, but i know the words would hardly do. Miracles and signs and wonders…”

9. “Cold coolin at a bar, and I’m lookin for some action But like Mike Jagger said…”

10. “Childhood living is easy to do, The things you wanted…”

11. “I wanna tease you I wanna please you I want to show you babe that I need you…”

12. “She never mentions the word addiction in certain company…”

13. “On a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha…”

14. “Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky. He’s off to slay some demon dragonfly…”

15. “You in the mirror, starin back at me, oh concious let me be…”

16. “Excuse me, but can I be you for a while? My dog won’t bite…”

17. “She’s got a smile that it seems to me reminds me of childhood memories…”

18. “If that’s all you will be, you’ll be a waste of time, you’ve dreamed a thousand dreams…”

19. “You’re dangerous ’cause you’re honest. You’re dangerous, you don’t know what you want…”

20. “I guess this time you’re really leaving. I heard your suitcase say goodbye…”

21. “I dreamed I went to heaven You were there with me…”

22. “Breath it in and breath it out and pass it on it’s almost out…”

23. “You won’t admit you love me. And so how am I ever to know…”

24. “All I can see is black and white and white and pink with blades of blue…”

25. “In open fields of wild flowers, she breathes the air and flies away…”

12. “She talks to angels” by the Black Crowes. Do I get bonus points for knowing that its on the album “Shake your money maker” and extra points for owning said album?
