‘Cause, you know, it’s so much easier than thinking.

Oh, and it’s fun too.

Music meme - round 5

Step 1: I put my media player on random. [Well, kinda]
Step 2: I picked a line from the first 20 songs that played. [Again, kinda, I am so playing fast and loose with the rules here.]
Step 3: I am posting the lines here for your guessing pleasure. Song title and artist please.
Step 4: I will cross out the songs as they are guessed correctly.

Yeah, yeah, we all know how to Google, but let’s not. Cheaters will be forced to eat my cooking.

This was still originally found via Paul.

Play nice boys and girls.

1)
In the time of chimpanzees
I was a monkey
Butane in my veins
So I’m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs

2)
I’m not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

3)
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it’s a great escape

4)
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much o’ mistrust
Love’s gone behind

5)
Yea you say that you don’t love me
Yea you talk about the other boys
And you laugh in my face
But I know when you’re feeling sad and lonely
No other boy can take my place

6)
The screen door slams
Mary’s dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that’s me and I want you only

7)
I’m never alone
I’m alone all the time
are you at one
or do you lie
we live in a wheel
where everyone steals
but when we rise it’s like strawberry fields

Who put the doggy in the doghouse?
You did, baby - you did
Who put your granny in the grannyhouse?
You did, baby - you did, baby

9)
So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town hotel
You asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell

10)
Friday night I’m going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over tv stations
Situations running through my head

11)
Now the stage is set
Where’s my Juliet, baby?
Is it maybe
My Midsummer Night’s Dream?

12)
We argued on the channel train to Paris
The vin rouge helped us make it sweet again
But by the time that we got down to Lyon
Everything I said was wrong and you cursed me in the rain

13)
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

14)
There is this old woman
She lives down the road
You can often find her
Kneeling inside of her hole
And i often ask her
“Are you looking for the mother lode?”

15)
I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
Left me to come through
I headed for the right way
I knew exactly just what to do

16)
A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh
The phone, the tv and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh

17)
I’m worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a gto
Wear a uniform

18)
With the money from her accident
She bought herself a mobile home
So at least she could get some enjoyment
Out of being alone

19)
It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK

20)
Years of listening taking in
To one day take away
Through all the guilt and pity I
Could barely keep at bay
