You got one half of that one, Josh. I thought about the lyrics for "Yahweh" and there is indeed a very similar line, although it's not the first one. Oh, Bono.

I think *most* of these are probably a tad too obscure and random for most people to have heard, so here's the rest. There are two or three I'm surprised no one got, but given that I'm terrible at these things myself, I can certainly understand why.

1. My man's got a heart like a rock that's in the sea.

"About Her," from the Kill Bill Vol. 2 soundtrack.

4. Riding on the [title], Illinois Central Monday morning rail.

"City of New Orleans," Willie Nelson. Not sure what album it's from originally; I have it on The Essential Willie Nelson.

7. All the obstacles in my way now, they're disappearing everyday now.

"Are You Gonna Wait Forever," the B-side of one of U2's Vertigo singles.

10. [title] I gave a letter to the postman, he put it in his sack.

"Return to Sender," Elvis Presley.

11. Ice, your only rivers run cold.

"The Unforgettable Fire". I bet if I had included the next line everyone would've gotten it.

13. Well, it's five in the morning and the light's already broken.

"Never Coming Home," from Sting's Sacred Love.

14. Childhood living is easy to do.

I was a little surprised no one got this- it's the Stones' "Wild Horses". Granted, the version that popped up was Alicia Keys' cover from her Unplugged album, but I have both versions.

19. Stop telling me what you want me to hear, stop telling me what you want me to fear.

"Love," by Prince, from this year's 3121.
