Random Lyrics Quiz

I saw this on Tyler's blog and hey, why not?

Here's how it works: I listened to my iPod at random and typed up the first few lines of the first thirty songs I heard. Some are tough and some are really easy (I'm not going to lie, I don't even know half of these). If you recognize one, leave a comment with the title and artist. And don't cheat and look the lines up on Google!

When correct answers are posted in comments, I'll cross-out the lyrics in the actual post.

And...go!

5. Loaded trigger finger, I don't want to settle for second best.

6. We made it down to New York with everything intact. But as for getting back it was Boo who made the joke "they don't give you any hope, but they'll give you plenty of rope"

8. He went away, and you hung around and bothered me every night. And when I wouldn't go out with you, you said things that weren't very nice.

10. Rock the cradle of love. Rock the cradle of love. Yes the cradle of love don't rock easily, it's true.

11. And if there's someone you can live without, then do so. And if there's someone you can just shove out, then do so.

12. Baby when I met you there was peace unknown. I set out to get you with a fine-toothed comb.

13. You went to school to learn girl, things you never never knew before.

14. Leaf by leaf and page by page, throw this book away. All the sadness, all the rage, throw this book away.

15. Everyone's got someone I've got none. But everyone's got someone I've got no one.

16. Where'd I leave my beer? Where'd I put my smokes? Where's my fat pederastic sidekick to howl at all my jokes?

17. So I said I'm on the road so I need a car, and I know that I'm getting alive and I say I got faith and a season and I say that's where I'm going to.

18. This place feels so unfamiliar, and yet I know it well. I think I used to belong here, but the only way I can tell is that I miss you still and I cannot find you here.

19. This bitch is my recital, I think it's very vital to rock a rhyme that's right on time.

20. Love is a burning thing, and it makes a fiery ring.

21. Did you give it up, did you give it up, did you give it up?

22. It takes no match to give me a spark. Now I'm trying out another heart. I've been whining about a fresh start.

25. This cocoon caught in Vesuvius shadow, only the ashes remain.

26. I looked out this morning and the sun was gone. Turned on some music to start my day. Got lost myself in a familiar song. I close my eyes and I slipped away.

27. Every finger in the room is pointing at me. I wanna spit in their faces.

28. You make it hard to breathe, it's as if I'm suffocating. And when you're next to me, I can feel your heartbeat through my skin.

29. Come on, come on, come on, come on, didn't I make you feel like you were the only man? Well yeah, didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?

30. As I'm sittin' in the taxi for the sky, he's off to slay some demon dragonfly.

Okay, uhh, good luck, I guess.
