Usually, this sort of thing is done on Live Journals, but I think I'm going to try it out on here anyway. The deal is, I put down ten lines/lyrics from ten songs and you name the song and artist (and album, if you're especially knowledgeable). I don't expect many responses on this but whatever. Maybe some new reader stumbling across it will happen to recognize a favorite line. Or something. I can keep hoping, I guess. And anyway, it beats me just putting down random lyrics without any preamble.
1) "I got no secret purpose--I don't seem obvious, do I?"
2) "There's no sensation to compare with this/Suspended animation, a state of bliss..."
3) "I'm not a miracle and you're not a saint/Just another soldier on a road to nowhere..."
4) "Can't let love spoil my chances, can't let that girl stand in my way..."
5) "The exodus is here, the happy wander near/Let's get together before we get much older..."
6) "So old, I feel just like somebody else/Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same..."
7) "I'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide..."
8) "...The story of your life is always yours to trade away."
9) "You take in everything with a certainty I envy/It's somehow all I need/Just keep me guessing, please..."
10) "And at this rate I'll swear my life away to make you stay/A lonely boy who steals love he can't borrow..."
All righty then. Have at it, if you care to.

Er... sorry. I don't recognize a single line. I'm not a music person anyway.
Umm...can you translate those back into Latin? Then I might have a go at it.
4. Horslips, "I'll be Waiting", The Man Who Built America.
5. The Who, "Baba O'Reilly", Who's Next.
Good job, Baron. Two points, with bonuses for getting the albums.
Don't either of you recognize one of the other songs on there? (#8, anyone?)
No. Should I? Are any others more than 25 years old?
Wrong on #2. IM me to find out what it was.
Right on number 6. I don't know the album either.
And yes, Baron, you should know that song. I played it over Fall Break.
Well, my short-term-memoryometer currently reads .006, so it's no wonder!
It also had the line "Mama married money and Daddy by mistake." Ring any bells?
I remember that one, the Living Room guy -- is it Danny Schmidt?
