the lyrics meme!

[aftertherockets]

Because, you know. I can. And everyone else is doing it. And you guys better guess, or I will cry big fat emo tears. Seriously.


As sort of a hint to keep in mind while guessing, all these songs come off of my newly constructed "old school playlist," i.e., stuff I listened to in high school. *g*

Rules:
I'm shuffling my playlist and posting my favorite lines to the random songs that come up. I don't know how many yet. Until I get bored with this. You guess the songs and I'll cross them out as people get them. Don't google the lyrics cause then you're a cheater. And the winner gets my everlasting love and adoration.

1. sitting on a sofa on a sunday afternoon/going to a candidate's debate
2. the way you treat me like the only/slightly brings me down a lot
3. i have kissed honey lips/felt the healing in her fingertips
4. take me home with my elevator bones!/that was a good drum break
5. i wish, i wish i could fly/i wish, i wish i could lie
6. she swears the moon don’t hang quite as high as it used to
7. the answers we find/are never what we had in mind/so we make it up as we go along
8. in summer we can taste the rain
9. i can play the guitar like a motherfucking riot
10. i'm pissed off but i'm too polite/when people break in the mcdonalds line
11. i wanna be drunk i wanna be high/i wanna be drunk i wanna be high on you
12. it’s such a gorgeous sight/to see you eat in the middle of the night
13. when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
14. she broke down and i broke down/cause i was tired of lying
15. hungry, hungry again/when will it start to sway
16. don't the best of them bleed it out/while the rest of them peter out
17. no one was looking, i was thinking of you/oh yeah, did I mention...
18. ambition makes you look pretty ugly
19. frightened you'll slip away
20. it isn't real and i'm not going to break/i'm not going to break
21. i can promise you/you'll stay as beautiful/with dark hair and soft skin...forever
22. too much, I take whatever you’re given/not enough
23. a change of pace could really do some good/she's leavin' an empty case which you're bringing back the show
24. daddy didn't give attention/oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
25. i know i could love you much better than this
26. is it because i lied when i was seventeen?
27. saturday I'm running wild/and all the lights are changing red to green
28. i need you (i need you) more than anyone, darlin'/you know that i have from the start
29. you know what stuart/i like you/you're not like the other people/here in the trailer park
30. baby don't you sign that paper tonight, she said/but i can't work in fast food all my life


Seriously, you guys. Some of these are so easy you need to not have ears to not know them. (Or else, I suppose, not know me very well AT ALL.) So guess! And make me happy!

DUDE.

Some of the others sound familiar (I am TERRIBLE at this game) but number 18 is most certainly Paranoid Android, by Radiohead.

I hate when I *know* the lyrics, but I can't figure out what song it is. But yes. Radiohead it is. :)

I didn't see that no one had offered the correct song name for #18. It is radiohead, and it is off okcomputer, but it's Electioneering, not Paranoid Android.
