So hey, have a meme. You’ll like it, I swear. No really. I found it at srah blah blah and thought it was swell so I decided I would steal it and put it here.

Here are the [adapted] rules for the meme:
1. Put your mp3 player or music player on your computer on random.
2. Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
3. Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.

Leave your guesses in the comments. Some will be super easy, but try not to cheat by Googling.

Okay, have at you then:

Note: I’ve gone ahead and answered the ones nobody guessed, because I’m sure you’re just DYING to know what they are.

1. Desert lovin’ in your eyes all the way
if I listen to your lies would you say
I’m a man without conviction
I’m a man who doesn’t know

fake prizes risin’ out of the bombholes
skeleton boys hyped up on purple
smoke rings blow from across the disco

3. Not tonight Josephine
In an army’s strength, therein lies the denouement
from here you’re haunting me
by the Seine so beautiful
Guessed: “Josephine” - Tori Amos

4. You were my sun, you were my earth
but you didn’t know all the ways I loved you, no
so you took a chance, made other plans
but I bet you didn’t think that they would come crashing down, no

5. And the sky was made of amethyst
and all the stars were just like little fish
you should learn when to go
you should learn how to say no

6. I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone

playing with this bow and arrow
gonna give my heart away

now every other man I see
remind me of the one man who disappointed me

riding alone town after town, toll after toll
a fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her

only drives rented cars

engines pumping and thumping in time
the green light flashes

fallin’ farther from just what we are
smoke a cigarette and lie some more

cuddling my semi-automatic, what a very fuzzy feeling (la la la)
Guessed: “UHMerica” - Regina Spektor

I hear you push through the rusty gate
click of your heels on the concrete
waiting for a knock coming way too late

See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come

up my back leave me filled
with satisfaction when we’re done
satisfaction of what’s to come
