The Sandman lyrics meme (how was I going to ignore it?).
Instructions:
1.) Post a line or two from TEN of your favorite songs.
2.) Don't include the song title in the lyrics!
3.) Wait for your LJ friends to guess the artist AND song title.
1) "Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night... with bruised arms and broken rhythm in a beat-up old Buick, but dressed just like dynamite..."
2) "I want a girl who gets up early, I want a girl who stays up late. I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity, Who uses a machete to cut through red tape."
3) "Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag, so she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak..."
4) "You’re asking me will my love grow... I don’t know, I don’t know. You stick around now it may show I don’t know, I don’t know..."
5) "Just like me you got needs and they’re only a whisper away... and we softly surrender to these lives that we’ve tendered away."
6) "Did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?"
7) "Sirens ring, the shots ring out, A stranger cries, screams out loud. I had my world strapped against my back. I held my hands, never knew how to act..."
8) "When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy in the company of strangers. In the quiet of the railway station, runnin’ scared..."
9) "Heading for the airport on a misty morning, Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore. Try to kill an hour with a whiskey sour; if there's time I might have just one more..."
10) "My words confuse you. My eyes don’t move a blink, 'cause it’s easier sometimes not to be sincere... somehow I make you believe."
Let's try this.
Paci gets 3 and 9.
Phil gets 4.
Laura gets 5 and 7?
Serena gets 8.
Somebody'll get 2.
Rohan gets at least 2 of these, but I don't know which ones.
Craig'll get 10, if he still reads this ocassionally
okay

I figured you'd know a bunch, but I didn't want to make any predictions...
