Meme!

I *never* do these, but this one looked fun. From [livejournal.com profile] jkcarrier:

1. On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing).
2. Write down a line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line.
3. Have your friends comment and see if they know the songs. (NO CHEATING!)
4. When someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it. (Don't strike out the line until the song's ARTIST and NAME have both been guessed correctly!)




1. I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died "I Am a Rock" - Simon & Garfunkle
2. The only loss you could forsake, the only bluff you couldn't fake
3. The ice we skate is getting pretty thin "All Star" - Smashmouth
4. You shook your head just like a wild horse, beneath the southern cross in the frozen north
5. For once in my life, I need no conversation "Send Me No Wine" - Moody Blues
6. I've seen all the fuss, and it's no big deal "I Go Blind" - Hootie & the Blowfish
7. I wonder if I'm really with you now, or just chasing after some finer day "Anticipation" - Carly Simon
8. It's too late to ask questions, for you're much too old to take any suggestions
9. Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies "Back on the Chain Gang" - The Pretenders
10. I met your children, what did you tell them "Video Killed the Radio Star" - The Buggles
11. I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do "Affirmation" - Savage Garden
12. I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone
13. Catch your dreams before they slip away "Ruby Tuesday" - Rolling Stones
14. I've got the song of the voice inside me set to the rhythm of the wheel
15. Can't you hear your babies crying now?
16. When the madness stops, you will be alone "Break Me Shake Me" - Savage Garden
17. You don't know what it means to win "Never Going Back Again" - Fleetwood Mac
18. I dream at night, I can only see your face "Every Breath You Take" - The Police
19. See the signs and know their meaning
20. Don't keep the dream in you locked outside your door

I figured the more complete lyrics would help. :D

There's one of these that I can't believe nobody's gotten. It's a very well-known song -- at least, I think it is.

Darn it, I know I've heard nos. 14 and 19, I can even sing largish sections of 19, but I a) don't know the name of the song and b) don't know the artist, I've just heard it on the radio enough times to pick it up. Grrrr....

I'll post the answers in a day or two. Probably tomorrow.

Well, why don't you post some of the lyrics and maybe it'll spark someone's memory? I think it's about time we started to collaborate on this anyway, before Layla lowers the boom on us.

I'll contribute this: song (4) is probably by Peter Cetara (spelling?), one-time front man of Chicago who went solo in the '80s. Unless it isn't.

I'll also contribute this: I'll be kicking myself for not recognizing at least one of the songs that havn't already been guessed....

You are correct: Peter Cetera is the singer. But the song is not a well-known one.
