iTunes shuffle

Send this to your friends to see who has similar musical tastes/interests.

Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Type out the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. Send to all your friends
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses the song/album correctly. (Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!)


1) All your ways and all your thunder, got me in a haze running for cover, where we gonna go from here?...
2) Oh I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings...
3) I follow the night, can't stand the light...
4) Tough, you think you've got the stuff, you're telling me and anyone you're hard enough...
5) When you're dreaming with a broken heart, the wakin' up is the hardest part...
6) Tell me what you need, you know it's on your mind, you say he's usually screwing up your life...

9) Only daughter you got your ticket too soon...
10) Dearest darlingest momsie and popsicle, my dear father...
11) Gather wine, make a drink of the far distant spring...
12) Come fly down like the singing bird sings your name, I am still the same...
13) I was so high I did not recognize the fire burning in her eyes, chaos that controls my mind...
14) They painted up your secrets with the lies they told to you, and the least they ever gave you was the most you ever knew...
15) Waiting, watching the clock it's 4 o'clock, it's got to stop, tell him...
16) Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side...
17) Where are we? What the hell is going on? The dust has only just begun to fall...
18) Summer days are gone too soon, you shoot the moon and miss completely...
19) Ten years ago I fell in love with an Irish girl, she took my heart...
20) I'm not alone, I wish I was, cause then I'd know...
