Happy weekend! Let's play the Lyrics Game!

Rules are simple: I put my zune on shuffle, I post lyrics, you guess song and artist. Then profit! Of some sort. Feel free to make your own profit.

1) Hanging by threads of palest silver/I could have stayed that way forever "Stroke Of Luck" by Garbage, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] aberranteyes

2) Now you play the loving woman I'll play the faithful man/But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand

3) They've got catfish on the table /They've got gospel in the air/And Reverend Green be glad to see you/When you haven't got a prayer "Walking In Memphis" by Marc Cohn, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] elandrialore and [livejournal.com profile] aberranteyes

4) I was disappearing in plain sight/Heaven help me, I need to make it right "No Light No Light" by Florence + The Machine. guessed by [livejournal.com profile] robynize

5)Remember the time we made love in the roses?/And you took my picture in all sorts of poses "Lucky Ones" by Bif Naked, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] elandrialore

6) Now that the smoke's gone/And the air is all clear/Those who were right there/Got a new kind of fear "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by Filter, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] elandrialore

7) The world that I see inside you/Waiting to come to life/Waking me up to dreaming/Reality in your eyes "First Time" by Lifehouse, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] morganoconner

8) And they call her a name that they never get/Right and if they don't then nobody else will/But she used to have a carefree mind of her own/With devilish look in her eye "Veronica"" by Elvis Costello, guess by [livejournal.com profile] aberranteyes

9) Keeps the kids off the streets/Gives 'em something to do, something to eat/This spot was a playground/This flat land used to be a town

10) It’s funny how you just break down/Waiting on some sign/I pull up to the front of your driveway/With magic soaking my spine "Read My Mind" by The Killers, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] shulammit

11) Do what you wanna do/Go out and seek your truth/When I'm down and blue/Rather be me than you "Heaven Beside You" by Alice In Chains, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] monteseverus

12) So they came into the outway/It was Sunday what a black day/Every time I tried to find him/He's leaving no clues left behind him "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] elfladyarwen

13) Come dance with me now/We'll dance without a care/I'm as free as a fire/And change is in the air "The Different" by Melissa Etheridge, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] elandrialore

14) As your bony fingers close around me/Long and spindly/Death becomes me/Heaven can you see what I see "Dream On" by Depeche Mode, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] monteseverus

15) She comes to me in dreams/A train wreck beauty queen/Now I remember her "For The Restless" by Tom McRae, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] gossy16

16) Spinning on that dizzy edge/I kissed her face and kissed her head/And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] monteseverus

17) Midnight gettin' uptight where are you/You said you'd meet me now it's quarter to two/I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you "I Hate Myself For Loving You" by Joan Jett, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] climbatize

18) Dead men working a sinner a saint/Mixing up a pail of paint/Painted the house, black as night/When the sun came up the house was white

19) With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'/I can see where I am goin' to be/When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand. "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] elfladyarwen

20) I can't get down and I won't get down/And stay all night with thee/For the girl I have in that merry green land I love far better than thee "Henry Lee" by Nick Cave & PJ Harvey (covering the traditional ballad), guessed by [livejournal.com profile] janice_lester

1) Garbage, "A Stroke of Luck"
3) Marc Cohn, "Walking in Memphis"
8) Elvis Costello, "Veronica"

And I'd encountered 5, but had to look it up, so I'll leave it to be named by someone who's heard it.

20. "Henry Lee", traditional, Nick Cave's version with PJ Harvey being the one I'm familiar with.

You have a Zune? Is it awesome? I don't think they were ever even released down here.

You even guessed the right version!:)

I love my zune. I guess it's a little clunky size wise compared to an ipod but it lets me bypass itunes completely and I can't count the number of times I've dropped it without it complaining once. I was so sad when Microsoft discontinued them.

Correct! (I thought that would be first, it's been all over the TV and radio lately. And someone really, really needs to make a late S6 into S7 Cas video to that song.)
