A game of lyrics

Naomi's FB post inspired me to do one of my own. It is amazing to see what kind of music has been hiding in your playlists until you play it on shuffle! Anyway, here goes. =)

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Don't look them up on Google or any other search engine (you cheater!).
Step 5: If you like the game, post your own.
Step 6: After a week, any songs left, I'll just post the answers

1. We were strangers, starting out on a journey, never dreaming what we’d have to go through
2. We’ve come so many miles through steep hills and valleys
3. When you feel the sunlight fade into the cold night
4. Two days chasing me around, I go crazy when you’re outside my world
5. Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
6. Got the kinda face everyone knows
7. Oceans apart day after day and I slowly go insane
8. Our concentration - it contains a deadly flaw
9. Sometimes slowly time brings revelation
10: I got no money in my pockets, I got a hole in my jeans
11. She’s cold and she’s cruel, but she knows what she’s doing
12. Went back home again this sucks gotta pack up and leave again
13. Why do lovers drift apart and how does love fade away?
14. Closed off from love, didn’t need the pain
15. I – I sit in silence here, I'm filled with wonder once again
16. We have seen the light.
17. Good King Wensaslas looked out on the feast of Stephen
18. 90 miles outside Chicago, can’t stop driving, I don’t know why
19. I used close my eyes and the time would pass me by
20. I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid
21. Down on my knees again tonight, hoping this prayer will turn out right
22. Got introduced to you by a friend – you were cute and all that – you set the trend
23. This is the way that I state my independence that I'm no longer connected to your memory
24. Staring at a maple leaf leaning on the mother tree
25. I followed all the rules, well, at least I'm trying
26. Wise men say only fools rush in
27. Take it all down, Christmas is over, do not despair, but rather be glad
28. I watch the western sky, the sun is sinking
29. Sonny came home to her favorite room
30. She stands through my shadow, she sees something more


P.S. I had to skip a few because they were instrumental only (no lyrics) and then I skipped all the Arabic lessons (thought you might appreciate that). =)
