mp3 lyrics meme again (via boneist this time!)

[eldar]

Here are opening lines of the first 20 songs randomly taken from my mp3 collection. Guess the song, and the artist! (And arosoff is banned from playing, even if she pretends she's not paying attention!) I've skipped any where the title is in the first line of the song. And some that nobody's likely to get. And instrumentals!

1. Hell is gone and heaven's here (Let Me Entertain You by Robbie Williams [c8bt])
2. I've got two strong arms, blessings of Babylon (The Riddle by Nik Kershaw [smiorgan])
3. If I say I don't need anyone, I can say these things to you (Rocket Queen by Guns N' Roses [esran])
4. I wanna know, did you get the feeling
5. December morning, when the ship came sailing in
6. A straw headed woman, and a barrel chested man ((Waiting For) The Ghost Train by Madness [kyte])
7. I don't know what you're looking for
8. I'm taking all you down with me
9. I guess this time you're really leaving, I heard your suitcase say goodbye (two lines, but the first really is quite vague and generic!!) (I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi [sillysally])
10. These bastards stole their power from the victims of the Us v. Them years
11. I'm the dandy highwayman and you're too scared to mention (Stand And Deliver by Adam and the Ants [kyte])
12. I was feeling done in -- couldn't win (Touch-A Touch-A Touch-A Touch Me by Susan Sarandon (as Janet from the Rocky Horror Picture Show OST) [c8bt])
13. I am not the type of dog that could keep you waiting
14. Well bless my soul what's wrong with me (All Shook Up by Elvis Presley [c8bt])
15. Solo, I'm a soloist on a solo list
16. It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us clean (Far From Home by The Levellers [smiorgan])
17. It's a lot like life (Ed: oops, changed to the correct lyrics...)
18. Reaching out for something you've got to feel
19. Good and bad I swear I've had
20. It's not the way you lead me by the hand into the bedroom (Sometimes by Erasure [kyte])

A few to start off:

6) Madness - Ghost Train? (I know the track, not sure of the title)

11) Adam & the Ants - Stand and Deliver

14) Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls of Fire

20) Erasure - Sometimes

6 - Correct-ish, it's actually (Waiting For) The Ghost Train. But close enough!

11 - Yep!

14 - Nope, but see below. (Great Balls starts "You shake my nerves and you rattle my brains" - I sang it at karaoke enough times to memorise!)

20 - Yep!

14) Oh the shame!

[c8bt.livejournal.com]

1) Let Me Entertain You by Robbie Williams
11) Stand and Deliver by Adam and the Ants (although I think it's 'that' not 'and' in the middle)
12) Touch Me from Rocky Horror - not sure what the real title is and I assume it's the OST so Susan Sarandon?
14) All Shook Up by Elvis Presley

[eldar.livejournal.com]

1 - Yep!

11 - Yep! (but beaten by kyte)

12 - Close enough (Touch-A Touch-A Touch-A Touch Me is the full title, it's a Janet solo and it is from the RHPS OST so correct in identifying Susan Sarandon as well - bonus point for that I guess!)

14 - Yep!

1) Let me Entertain You—the not-so-fat-boy from Take that
11) Prince Charming—Stuart Leslie Goddard and the Ants

I suck at lyric memes.
