Lyrics game, anyone? Identify and you get all the points!

I'm using random from my 200 song smart playlist, rather the 1500 song library. I'm not sure if that makes this harder or easier.

I cheated and skipped over the Mates of States one that came up, because I couldn't figure out a good way to show two people singing at the same exact time.

...Looking at my audioscrobbler is CHEATING.

1. And he asked me why I'm always such a bitch
He leaned to kiss me but I pulled away
'Cause I'm not so sure this boy is it

2. You write it down
You strategize
Never go over
Your little lines
"Things You Say" by Sleater-Kinney (rossetti)

3. She said Christmas is like solstice
And we miss you and it's been a while
"The Christians and the Pagans" by Dar Williams (lunaris_)

4. And you can't touch me like before
And you can't make me want you more
"Changed the Locks" covered by Kasey Chambers (makesmewannadie, minervacat)

5. Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pick-up truck
She got runned over by a damned old train
"You Never Even Called Me By My Name" by David Allen Coe (minervacat)

6. Wait
They don't love you like I love you
"Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (untappedbeauty)

7. The easiest thing I ever done
Was loving and drinking wine
The hardest thing I ever done
Was paying off a judge's fine

8. Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live
I kind of find I like a life this lonely
"Come On Home" by Franz Ferdinand (wax_jism)

9. And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
"Possession" by Sarah McLachlan (gurrier)

10. I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun
"Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel (gurrier)

#3 Dar Williams, The Christians and the Pagans

And god *damn* if I can't sing #5, which is something to do with the perfect country song, but I can't remember neither artist nor title! Bah!

[axiom_of_stripe]

#4 Lucinda Williams "I Changed The Locks"

[minervacat.livejournal.com]

4 is "changed the locks"; lucinda williams wrote it but kasey chambers covers it better.

and 5 is "never even call me by my name", aka the perfect country and western song, written by steve goodman and made famous by david allen coe.

TWO! I KNEW TWO! I NEVER KNOW THAT MANY!

oh, i am so loopy and ready to go home. why am i still at work?

5. "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" - David Allan Coe - I love that song just because it is the perfect country western song thanks to that stanza.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

mmwd got the song first, but you get points anyway because Kasey Chambers is the version i was listening to.

Work is stupid! Think of happy things. Like porn.

[minervacat.livejournal.com]

on the upside, working now is going to finance grad school in august, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

but for now i'll just lie back and think of porn. mmmmmmmm, porn. porn makes everything better.

8 is franz ferdinand - come on home. right? right?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

yes indeed! probably the two most mainstream ones, I suppose.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Both right, but gurrier got in just before you.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It *is* a good song.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yes! And 5 was David Allen Coe, You Never Even Called Me By My Name, one of my favorite country songs ever.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed! Although the version I was listening to was actually Kasey Chambers' cover of it.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Isn't it awesome? *loves it*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Right!

[rossetti.livejournal.com]

2 - sleater kinney. things you say.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

yay.

[obsessivemuch.livejournal.com]

It's totally my favorite of his songs (although I also really like the dirtywrongess of "Divers Do It Deeper").
