Okay here's a fun idea I just came up with. I was inspired by Sheila's old "Guess the First Lines of Novels" game, which is a lot of fun to look at, even though the game is long over.

Then I thought about my Friday iPod post. How boring is it to just post the songs, hoping you'll think I'm cool and all eclectic and shit. Why not give my readers a chance to show how cool you are.

So here's the opening four lines from ten random songs off my iPod. Some of them should be easy, and some will probably be impossible. You could google the lyrics, but I don't know how you'd sleep at night if you did so. Anyways, if you do google, don't post the answer because someone else might want to guess.

There are no prizes in this game, just good karma.

Can you guess the title and the artist? Green means somebody got it. Good luck!

1. We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
   We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
   She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
   She couldn't scream while I held her close


2. when a man is running from his boss
   Who holds a gun that fires Â’costÂ’
   And people die from being cold
   Or left alone because theyÂ’re old


3. Well they're still racing out at the trestles
   But that blood it never burned in her veins
   Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
   And a style she's trying to maintain


4. If I listened long enough to you
   I'd find a way to believe that its all true
   Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
   Still I look to find a reason to believe


5. There is freedom within, there is freedom without
   Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
   ThereÂ’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost
   But youÂ’ll never see the end of the road while youÂ’re travelling with me


6. Love, look at the two of us
   Strangers in many ways
   WeÂ’ve got a lifetime to share
   So much to say and as we go on from day to day


7. Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
   Let me remember things I love,
   StoppinÂ’ at the log where catfish bite,
   WalkinÂ’ along the river road at night,


8. on a cobweb afternoon
   in a room full of emptiness
   by a freeway i confess
   i was lost in the pages


9. Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand
   And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
   I met the walking dude, religious, in his worn down cowboy boots
   He walked liked no man on earth I swear he had no name


10. he bought a sterilized hypo
    to shoot a sex machine drug
    he got 24 hours
    to shoot all paulenes between the legs
