Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, not matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating!

1. Waiting here for something I know I'll never see. And I know I asked for some things I could never reach.
2. Ashes to ashes, some dust on the dash. I've got my cigarettes but I can't find the fire that's calming me down.
3. What would you say if I asked you not to go? To forget everyone, forget everything, and start over with me.
4. If you keep running your mouth I'm gonna cut you a new smile. Bring those teeth to the front so I can knock 'em out, knock 'em out.
5. The girl could move, and she did. We were captives on a casino ship, where the midwest lay out hours and burnt to crisp.
6. I backed my car into a cop car, the other day, well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok.
7. So I stayed the night hoping you and I would fix this shit, sorry, can I get it right? But the lights are off, and I had my doubts, she can't be gone.
8. These last few weeks I've been confused. Sometimes I wonder if I'm better off alone.
9. If I could open my arms and span the length of the isle of Manhattan, I'd bring it to where you are.
10. If I die and go to hell real soon, it will appear to me as this room.
11. I kissed a drunk girl, I kissed a drunk girl, yes I did.
12. Today I woke up, younger than I've been in years. Not concerned with what's outside, and peers, I don't have any.
13. From ocean to sky, summer and fall, I have been there though it all. From laughing and crying, to pain that comes easy.
14. So later that year, the bodies came home to Dover wrapped in flags and lined up in rows. With no one to see and no one to know, they had to keep morale from getting low.
15. I dream a lot, I know you say. I've got to get away. "The world is not yours for the taking" Is all you ever say.
16. Breathe kids, the mold is getting old, it'll be gone any day. The hipster empire of tomorrow will fall to the common kids of today.
17. Nothing feels right, but my fake smiles paint pictures like everything's fine.
18. Tell me something that I know, just something that I understand. I need to taste the warming glow of your medicating hands.
19. Well I made my way back down to the valley, right on past 83rd street. That's where we once belonged, but I’m gone, I swear I’m long gone.
20. Who are you to say what is real and what is fake and who here matters anyway? It's nothing that I haven't heard.
21. Life hurts so bad, don't want you sad. Just look back to good times we had.
22. I had a dream last night where I woke up too late, and everything I loved I began to hate.
23. You'd better learn that this will not blow over, and over. High above, they're taking over you.
24. So now you'll know exactly what it feels like to be an obstacle in my way. You won't remain.
25. I'm standing in the road and I don't mind your headlights. You say I've lost control but you're driving down my road with pockets full of secrets never said.
26. Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam that's in your eyes. I'll write a song about it and maybe if the melody's just right, I hope tonight it will find you.
27. She said Los Angeles has never been this cold. She said we shouldnt even bother. She said the ways thing have been going, we've been showing no signs.
28. Please don't mind what I'm trying to say cause I'm, I'm being honest.
29. That was the last time I ever saw her-through a shop window, sleeves to her elbows. I walked past and kept on walking and lit a smoke with my hands shaking.
30. You can have me dye my pale skin. You can beat me, I'll love you while I bruise. You can take me, drug my chapped lips. You can hurt me, I'll love you while I trip.
