37 Songs

  • 5th Jan, 2008 at 2:53 PM

I dare say no-one's reading this yet, but if they are, they're welcome to have a go at my 37 Songs.

If you've not come across this one, the idea is to go through your MP3 player on random and record the first two lines of the first 37 songs it brings up, post them here and let people try and identify them.

Like [info]the_elyan, I've ignored inappropriate tracks (Spoken word, instrumental...) and skipped the third and subsequent track by any given artist. I've also skipped tracks by local artists that no-one else is going to know (though if you do know of Dan Webster or Monkey Bucket, you're welcome to make yourself known to me anyway).

 

1. Don’t ask me why, don’t ask me why / I would join the Army, the Salvation Army but it didn’t help 

2. There’s a song that everyone can sing / There’s a prayer that everyone can bring

3. The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin’ / That’s what I said 

4. Every heart that she takes / Is a heart that she breaks 

5. Days / No need to count their number

6. Standing in line to see the show tonight / And there’s a light on

7. What are you, what are you / You you you?

8. And if your heart stops beating / I’ll be here wondering

9. And I’m standing on a platform / And I’m staring from a train

10. Done so many things wrong / I don’t know if I can do right

11. Pat is the guy with the record shop / And John sells fruit but wants to be a cop

12. Well my temperature’s rising / And my feet on the floor

13. She waits for me at night / She waits for me in silence

14. Es klingelt an der Tür / Meine Mutter kommt 'rein

15. Well I was there on the day / They sold the cars for the queen 

16. We came like babies / From our home across the sea 

17. Of all the women that I’ve been with / There’s never been one quite like you.

18. Eyes to take you dancing / Mouth to leave your wife

19. What I got you gotta give it to yo' mamma / What I got you gotta give it to yo' papa

20. I’m going to wait till [Title] / That’s when the love comes tumbling down

21. Make a hole with a gun perpendicular / To the name of this town in a desktop globe

22. The Saints are crippled on this sinner’s night / Lost are the lambs with no guiding light

23. You’ve heard them sing of Penny Lane / You’ve heard them sing of Strawberry Fields

24. When the oldest young fool / Broke one into two

25. The local rock group down the street / Is trying hart to learn their song

26. I’ve got a ticket to the fast city / Where the bells don’t really ring

27. I tell you how to [title] / And then you turn around and break my heart

28. I’ve got an achin’ in my heart / Arson on my mind

29. There she stood in the street / Smiling from her head to her feet

30. Sliding down a dream, oh yeah / Where nights are born in blue, that’s the truth

31. I’ve been drinking all through summer / Guess I’ve had a laugh 

32. Ever felt a way with me / Just once that all I need

33. Well I take whatever I want / And baby I want you

34. The tables are empty / The dancefloor deserted

35. Ich sage ja zu Deutschem Wasser / Und ich sage ja zu dir

36. There she was just a-walking down the street / Singing [title]

37. It doesn’t take a mathematician / To add a simple sum
