To play this game one puts one's music-generator on random and picks a lyric from the first twenty things that come up. (Possibly jiggering the thing if it's duplicating artists too much.)
Then one posts those twenty things and sees how many people can guess them, stripped devoid of their contexts and possibly specifically chosen to be difficult to figure out, because one is a bit of a sadist.
1. A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
2. Close your mind to stress and pain.
3. Back at ground control, there is a problem.
4. Another prop which occupied my time.
5. You're a damned kind, can't you see that the winds will change.
6. I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
7. Another jet black night, another drink to go.
8. It means so much to me, like a birthday or a pretty view.
9. In wildness is the preservation of the world.
10. Life is demanding without understanding.
11. We can move with savage grace to the rhythms of the night.
12. And I am the dream forgotten in the morning, and I am, I am . . .
13. Runnin' with the devil, shouldn't gamble with your soul.
14. Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man.
15. The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle.
16. Every moment I'd die just to look in your eyes.
17. Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure.
18. Through all the tumult and the strife I hear its music ringing.
19. Too late to turn around when the love goes down.
20. I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream.
If I'd been allowing duplicated artists, this list would have produced:
a. Hello, I'm sorry, I lost myself.
b. an instrumental containing a version of that well known Beethoven's Ninth theme
c. A time for peace, I swear it's not too late.
d. I'm on my own again with a Saturday in the rain.
I also scratched an instrumental from a .hack//SIGN soundtrack.
Rereading this, I know I couldn't get 'em all . . .

15. "I Just Died in Your Arms" Cutting Crew (I'll always remember this one, because it earned the best music review line I ever saw-- "the Outfield, after being force-fed "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." But then, I'm an old-Genesis fanatic, so...)

Me, I much, much prefer "One for the Mockingbird". Stupid one-hit wonders not releasing their really good songs!

I've never heard any of their other stuff, I just had that song on 45.
I'd love to do this meme sometime, but I don't really have a music-generator-- I have very few things on mp3, lots of CDs, and about 200 cassettes. I suppose I could always cheat, close my eyes and grab things. ;)

"One for the Mockingbird" is a really good illegitimis non carborundum song. ;)
