Music meme!
It's a Thursday Afternoon Music Meme!

The rules: Guess the song and artist based on the first line(s) of a song. Googling lyrics is cheating. Listening to songs to try to figure out what that one is that is eating you is not. Anybody can guess!

  1. Try to see it my way - [info]peachespig - We Can Work It Out - The Beatles

  2. What the fuck is this world
    Running to you didn't - unguessed - Porch - Pearl Jam

  5. Back it up, back it up
    You got it, you got it - [info]peachespig - Crash - Gwen Stefani

  6. Tired epileptic charade
    Get on the plane and fly away - [info]peachespig - I Hate Alternative Rock - Bob Mould

  7. First thing I remember, I was lying in my bed- [info]owlmoose - Late In the Evening - Paul Simon

  8. River, river, carry me on - [info]owlmoose - Washing of the Water - Peter Gabriel

  9. I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face - [info]peachespig - Touched by the Hand of God - New Order

  10. I take a breath
    Hold the air until there's nothing left - [info]peachespig - Recycled Air - The Postal Service



Theme Section
The songs in this section have something in common. Guess the songs, guess the theme.
Theme: political protest.
  1. There is enough, there is enough for everyone - [info]peachespig - Warakurna - Midnight Oil

  2. Preacher man don't tell me
    Heaven is under the earth - [info]mean_dean - Get Up Stand Up - Bob Marley & the Wailers

  3. I stood before the judge that day - [info]peachespig - Rotting On Remand - Billy Bragg

  4. I got pulled over in West Texas - [info]peachespig - Every State Line - Ani DiFranco

Theme: Hmmm. Something about law, or guilt...

By the way, it's helpful to denote the theme songs with letters (a, b, etc) so they can be distinguished from the rest... :)
