Rules here

I'll make this easy, but not too easy. I'm leaving the All Jonathan Coulton playlist and switching to 'Rated 4+'.


o/~ 1. I took their smiles and I made them mine / I sold my soul just to hide the light / And now I see what I really am / A thief, a whore, and a liar.
Evanescence / Farther Away

o/~ 2. You were full and fully capable / You were self sufficient and needless / Your house was fully decorated in that sense
Alanis Morissette / ?????


o/~ 3. Alcohol, my permanent accessory / Alcohol, a party-time necessity / Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself / O Alcohol, I still drink to your health
Barenaked Ladies / Alcohol

o/~ 4. Rain, rain on my face / Hasn’t stopped raining for days / My world is a flood / Slowly I become one with the mud
Jars of Clay / Flood

o/~ 5. Hold on to these words / I'd like to think that they may offer some protection / Against the night.
Jason Webley / Against the Night

o/~ 6. Special / You think you're special / You do / I can see it in your eyes / I can see it when you laugh at me, look down on me / You walk around on me
Limp Bizkit / My way

o/~ 7. Give me a word / Give me a sign / Show me where to look / Tell what will I find
Collective Soul / Shine

o/~ 8. You could have a steam train / If you'd just lay down your tracks / You could have an aeroplane flying / If you bring your blue sky back
Peter Gabriel / Sledgehammer

o/~ 9. Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me and / dear my love, haven't you longed to be free / I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you and / at sweet night, you are my own
Evanescence / ?????

o/~ 10. You don't remember me, but I remember you / I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you / But who can decide what they dream, and dream I do
Evanescence / Taking Over Me

o/~ 11. I miss you / But I haven't met you yet / So special / But it hasn't happened yet / You are gorgeous / But I haven't met you yet
Bjork / I Miss You

o/~ 12. There is a house in New Orleans / They call the Rising Sun / And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy / And God I know I'm one
The Animals / House of the Rising Sun

o/~ 13. It's the perfect time of year / Somewhere far away from here / I feel fine enough, I guess / Considering everything's a mess
Barenaked Ladies / Pinch Me

o/~ 14. All around me are familiar faces / Worn out places, worn out faces / Bright and early for their daily races / Going nowhere, going nowhere
Gary Jules / Mad World

o/~ 15. A modern-day warrior / Mean mean stride, / Today’s tom sawyer / Mean mean pride.
Rush / Tom Sawyer

o/~ 16. Imagine there's no heaven / It's easy if you try / No hell below us / Above us only sky
A Perfect Circle / Imagine

o/~ 17. I'd start with the boys that hang at the pier / like bats in the night, get tangled in your hair / I'd take away the weekend shoreleave lovers / that flood the ports with drunken tales of far away
Philosopher Kings / All To Myself

o/~ 18. Crazy, how it, feels tonight. / Crazy, how you, make it all alright love. / You crush me, with the, things you do, / I do, for you, anything too oh.
Dave Matthews Band / Crush

o/~ 19. To pretend no one can find / The fallacies of morning rose / Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes / Courtesies that I despise in me / Take a ride, take a shot now
Portishead / Sour Times

o/~ 20. All the old paintings on the tomb / They do the sand dance don’t you know / If they move too quick (oh ey oh) / They’re falling down like a domino
Bangles / Walk Like an Egyptian


Bear in mind, my collection contains many covers. I'll give half points if you get the song but not the artist that performed the one I was listening to.

20 is "Walk Like an Egyptian," originally by the Bangles.
I think 2 is Alanis Morrissette but I don't know which song. It just sounds like her.

I'm gonna guess that House of the Rising Sun is either by The Begood Tanyas or Eric and the Animals. Because those are the two versions I'm used to.

1. Evanescence, but I'm damned if I can figure out which song without listening to all 3 discs of Live Rare & Unreleased. I've guessed *3* different ones and I was wrong.
6. Limp Bizkit, "My Way"
8. Peter Gabriel, "Sledgehammer"
10. Evanscence, "Taking Over Me"
14. Gary Jules, "Mad World"
15. Rush, "Tom Sawyer"
16. A Perfect Circle, "Imagine"
20. The Bangles, "Walk Like An Egyptian"

4 - Jars of Clay, "Flood"
5 - Jason Webley, "Against the Night"
11 - Bjork, "I Miss You"
14 - "Mad World", by Tears for Fears, done by Gary Jules off the Donny Darko soundtrack. I love that version.

Ok, looks like the Gary Jules version was mentioned and was wrong. So I'm going with the original Tears for Fears song.

The metadata I have says 'Michael Andrews'. But, I think you guys are right, so I'm gonna give you both that point.

wow, this is hard, especially not knowing your tastes. Is 11 Garbage by any chance? I don't think I get any points just for guessing that. But this is fun and I wanted to play anyway. BNL and Lennon my forte... but they're all already guessed!

#7 is "Shine" by Collective Soul.

#18 is..."Crush" by the Dave Matthews Band, perhaps?

#19 is Portishead, but I don't remember the song title.

17. Philosopher Kings, "All to Myself"

9 is the only other one that still has question marks, but I don't recognize it. It looks like it's probably another Evanescence song, though.

Side note: I have never yet confessed to [livejournal.com profile] tfabris that for YEARS I mondegreened the Tom Sawyer lyrics as "Monday warrior mean mean stride". Years and years. Pretty much right up until I met him, in fact.

That IS what it sounds like. The only reason I got it correct here is 'cause I went and looked up the lyrics for each song before posting.
