Yeah. A bit of fun for the miserable Kula board.

Step 1: Put your iPod on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 40 songs that play, no matter how
embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

So no cheating. Let's play.

I'll start, though technically Rossy started on LJ but there we go.


1. You were my sun, you were my earth
2. It could be ten, but then again, I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four
3. And I dont want you and I dont need you, dont bother to resist - I'll beat you
4. Sugar smile savvy the king of the kerb got a temper in the style of a bomb
5. I was watching with one eye on the other side
6. Because we are your friends you'll never be alone again
7. Run and tell all of the angels this could take all night
8. We are not your sinners our voices are for real
9. In the high life I've got this feeling I've got this horrible feeling
10. Distance versus time, cutting verses down to size
11. I wish that I could fly into the sky so very high just like a dragonfly
12. When you’re on a holiday you can’t find the words to say
13. I was dreaming of the past and my heart was beating fast
14. Mis-Shapes, mistakes, misfits. Raised on a diet of broken biscuits (I wasn't going to include this seeing as it's cheating but I love the song so much)
15. Visiting is pretty visiting is good seems that all they ever wanted was a brother
16. He got the pizza and brew, sensational 20,000 out on the street and accidental
17. Woke up one morning half asleep with all my blankets in a heap and yellow roses scattered all around
18. You've got your mother in a whirl she's not sure if youre a boy or a girl
19. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah Uhraah! Bass!
20. Its warm outside but I can hear the snow falling on my window
21. Oh yeah she was taking me over and oh yeah it was the start of the summer
22. Sometimes I feel I've got to run away I've got to get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me
23. I'm going to take my time I have all the time in the world
24. I wasn't jealous before we met, every woman I see is a potential threat
25. I know when to go out and I know when to stay in, get things done
26. Riding on any wave that is the luck you crave
27. There's a destination a little up the road from the habitations and the towns we know
28. Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
29. I had a dream we went away left the city for a day
30. Well did you hear? There's a natural order - those most deserving will end up with the most
31. Well, you were there when the wall came down a baby king with a grown man's crown
32. Say you don't know me or recognize my face say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
33. So everybody's rockin' and everyone is feelin' alright - alright!
34. I've exposed your lies, baby, the underneath is no big surprise
35. When I hold you baby feel your heartbeat close to me wanna stay in your arms forever only love can set you free
36. Tonight I'm wound tighter than a watchspring tonight you owe my patience quite a debt
37. Talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway
38. I've got your picture of me and you - you wrote "I love you" I love you too
39. Fear and panic in the air I want to be free from desolation and despair
40. She comes in colours everywhere, she combs her hair

The version I had on was indeed Bryan Ferry, who I think I would have quite fancied back in the day.

6. Justice vs. Simian - We Are Your Friends
7. Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly
12 Weezer - Island in the Sun
23 It's No Good - Depeche Mode (complete guess, but I think that's the first line)

I'm trying to be subtle on it, so can only look at the page quickly...my bosses can *almost* see my monitor, so I have to be sly (and patchy)...

Soft Cell! That's the one.

(I refuse to acknowledge the existence of MM's version...)

It is indeed Depeche Mode, well done on that guess!

2 and 9 you should get. I'd like to think that all the old school "indie" crowd would get number 9.

is 15 by the foo fighters?

Is 19. N.E.R.D. - She Wants to Move?

Oh! 29. OCS - The Day We Caught the Train?

No, neither the song or the band. Far more recent than that. Last year I believe.
