42itous... because I think it's neat. And because I have work to do, so I'm procrastinating.
I have to admit that these are not taken from my collection at random; rather, they are chosen with this game in mind. So pfthbthfbth!
Post the song titles and artists for any lyrics you recognize. And don't peek at other people's answers, it spoils the fun.
1. We could both wear cowboy hats / And pretend to speak Italian
2. And nobody reacts / The captain shouts, / "Clear all the deck, we'll sink like a stone."
3. He gallops off across the dusty plain / In vain to search again
4. Oh to dream, those impotent bones of extinction / Flying graceful and free
5. We got sarsaparilla soda on the ice / We got shoes and rice and free advice
6. We're just two lost souls / Swimming in a fish bowl
7. I've been waking up at sunrise / I've been following the light across my room / I watch the night receive the room of my day
8. We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
9. You used to call me schnookums and shit like that / Now you're after me with a baseball bat
10. Going to make whatever it takes, / ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love
11. There's comfort in my coffee cup and apples in the early fall
12. I found a new friend / Underneath my pillow
13. If green should turn to grey / Would our hearts still bloody beat
14. Oh the fishes will laugh / As they swim out of the path / And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
15. He's a player / And everytime he deals a round / It's just a bad hand
16. I’m knitting with only one needle / Unravelling fast it’s true
17. But the hands of time / keep tickin' on my back / 'cause it's been so long / since I had her back beside me
18. I have watched you take shape from a jumble of parts / And find the grace and form of a fine work of art
19. Masquerading as a man with a reason / My charade is the event of the season
20. And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope / With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes
