Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post a line from the first 35 songs that play.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

2) "Prisoners of course / Taken by force / To smother my dreams..."

13)"Wastin' time like it was free / Will you ever find where you'll be..." Godsmack, Touche: guessed by tolshak
14) "Hold on! It's never enough / It's never enough until your heart stops beating"
(Extra credit - what movie OST was this song used for?)
15) "This town don't feel mine / I'm fast to get away..."
16) "Grow out of your obsessions / You think you're bad but I'm badder than you..."

21) "And though he was ashamed that he had took a life / Johnny came home with another wife..."

23) "I don't mind if I never ever meet you / I love you just the way you seem..."
24) "This line is burning / Turning to ash..."
25) "Did you learn how to herd cattle in prep school? / Could you just pretend you don't know me?"
26) "Grew up in an industrial town / two blocks away from the industrial sounds..."
27) "If you don't have a song / To sing you're okay / You know how to get along..."
28) "We have both been here before / Knockin' upon love's door / Begging for someone to let us in..."
29) "Watch the band / Through a bunch of dancers / Quickly, follow the unknown..." The song is Courage, as guessed bytolshak ... but it's apparently a cover, the version I have...
30) "It's not that she's gone away / It's the things I hear she has got to say..."
31) "No future, no way / I was born to lose but thats okay..."

Now I'm going to try a new kind of shuffle - listen to my entire iTunes playlist arranged alphabetically by song title. That'll take ... just under a month. Whee?

(Yeah, it happens. Always irritating when it does, though. I'm sure if anyone else gets 'em, you'll have ample opportunity to kick yourself. *g*)
