parcae posted that 'guess the songs' meme last night, and I'd been thinking about doing it again anyway. So: 25-oid songs, mostly first lines (but not always), whatever my iPod deals up barring instrumentals/incoherent lyrics.

1) looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes
2) I'm breaking my mother's heart
3) gathering flowers and carrying fire
4) if you need some conversation, bring a magazine to read
5) she floats like a swan
6) she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia
7) I am a Viking of some note
8) what's a boy to do?
9) in this life, I've seen everything I can see
10) we can't dance, we don't talk much
11) when I take them to the cleaners', I can't wait to get them home again
12) would you like to come home with me?
13) you are too young to put all of your hopes in just one envelope
14) won't you take me by the hand
15) when this old world starts getting me down
16) if we can call them friends, then we can call them on their telephones
17) you say that we've got nothing in common
18) when I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
19) show me how to see you
20) I think it's getting to the point where I can be myself again
21) by the time the buzz was wearing off
22) we can dance if we want to
23) I'm searching for something that I can't reach
24) all around the country, coast to coast
25) I woke up in midafternoon, 'cause that's when it all hurts the most
26) forget the ringing on your party line
27) New York City, center of the universe.
