the_rckSince I'm sitting here and trying not to think about errands unaccomplished or how rotten I feel, I thought I'd do that song lyrics meme now that I actually have music on my laptop. I'm not going to ask for artist names on this because, in at least one case, the song was taped twenty some years ago at a filksing, and I have no idea who's singing. (Actually, I'm not entirely sure of the title on that one, but I have a fair guess, so I'm keeping it.) I'm also being a little arbitrary about what constitutes the first line of the song.
Anyway, these are the first lines of the first twenty songs to come up on random play on my iTunes, discarding one in Japanese (Much as I love "Absolute Destiny Apocalypse," I'm sticking with English). If you recognize the songs, comments with your guesses.
1) I know where I'm goin'
2)He's a real nowhere man --- "Nowhere Man"
3) It's so easy to dream of the days gone by
4)A young and headstrong lady was Madam Marie Curie --- Madam Curie's Hands
5)Cold wind on the harbor --- Giant
6) Sitting on the front porch on a summer afternoon
7) All the snow has turned to water
8)What a dream I had, pressed in organdy --- For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her
9)Steve walks warily down the street --- Another One Bites the Dust
10) Once I had a little dog
11) They unfolded your lives one by one
12) Even though I wasn't free when you fell in love with me
13) There's a young man that I know. His age is twenty-one.
14)Oh, the year was 1778 --- Barrett's Privateers
15) I've got beggars on my trail
16) You may talk about your lancers or the Irish fusiliers
17) Sons of the thief, sons of the saint
18) By a fountain back in Rome I fell in love with you
19) Don't get excited. Don't say a word.
20) Darling I can see the clouds around you
Tomorrow, I'll post a second line (maybe even more) of any of these that haven't been guessed.
