sweet mother of Lincoln, this is fun.

1. Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
2. Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play (skipping instrumentals and foreign language tracks), no matter how embarrassing the song.
3. Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from (You guess by leaving a comment below).
4. Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
5. Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.

01. now that i've lost everything to you, you say you want to start something new
02. did you see the light, as they fell all around you?
03. has our conscience shown? has the sweet breeze blown? "The World I Know", Collective Soul - plvarona
04. forward yesterday, it makes me want to stay "Creep", Stone Temple Pilots - plvarona
05. how long before i get in, before it starts, before i begin?
06. i see you coming up the drive; that's when i know that i'm alive
07. have you ever seen a boy with funny clothes? a girl with braces on her teeth or freckles on her nose? "I Can Be Your Friend", VeggieTales - Wildcatblue7
08. young it was, true it was; days without wondering
09. it smells so sweet outside today; the sun smiles down, i'm in the shade
10. you were meant to live large; c'mon take charge, let's go light the world up
11. why try, know why; this feeling inside me says it's time i was gone
12. here i lie, motionless; catch me if you can
13. i met this girl; she was walkin' through one of my dreams
14. you know i love you; i'll always love you, even though the tears are fallin'
15. and so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still "Running to Stand Still", U2 - AldaForPresident
16. if you give up too easily and follow every whim, loose your mind before it could even begin
17. i'm sleeping, sleeping to encompass myself
18. one to another, do you remember me? i feel so small, are you listening to me? "Entertaining Angels", Newsboys - plvarona
19. you say Jesus is doing nothing, you say evolution took his place
20. moments like this make me feel like i never could float
21. well is it true what they say about it? they say it's new, but i have to doubt it
22. when i get to the bottom i go back to the top "Helter Skelter", The Beatles - AldaForPresident
23. life is so boring, it's really got me snoring; i'm wearing out the flooring in a cheap hotel
24. we can't contain what's inside; thunder and lightning can't hide
25. i see it around me, i see it in everything; i could be so much more than this
26. images on the sidewalk speak of dream's descent "Art in Me", Jars of Clay  - plvarona
27. change will come, change is here; love fades out, then love appears
28. i'm teething on answers you're saving; how you gonna make me sleep again?
29. i can't say that you love me; so i cry and i'm hurting
30. somebody told me about a worn-out distraction that i, i let slip away

[Wildcatblue7]

I thought Radiohead did Creep?  Uh...hmm. 

07. is a Veggie Tales song--I Will be Your Friend, or something like that, I think.

[plvarona]

I thought Radiohead did Creep?  Uh...hmm. 

Yes, Radiohead had a song called "Creep."  So did Stone Temple Pilots, and they are two completely different songs.

And let me sneak this one in:

18. one to another, do you remember me? i feel so small, are you listening to me?

18. "Entertaining Angels" Newsboys

I'm really surprised I didn't get 19, and I knew I knew 9, just couldn't place the song. Probably because I don't like it.

I probably never would have gotten 23, though I should have.
