My brother-in-law’s favorite film of all time.

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 22 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
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

1. We were standing on a cliff above the ocean
2. Come on baby leave some change behind
3. Are you gonna live your life wondering, standing in the back, looking around?
4. El viento de la noche gira en el cielo
5. And to love a god and to fear the flame…
6. Reluctantly crouched at the starting line, engines pumping and thumping in time
7. In the morning I was losing my head and reading too much and losing my head and I was…
8. The queen of light took her bow and then she turned to gold
9. War is overdue, the time has come for you
10. Can’t believe that I did it again, wake me up from this nightmare
11. Some say now suffer all the children and walk away a savior
12. Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tight, may it hold you through the winter…
13. Somebody’s Heine is crowding my icebox
14. What’s a matter Mary Jane?
15. G****mn this dusty room, this hazy afternoon
16. What if this day lasts forever, is tomorrow all I want?
17. If it keeps on rainin’, levee’s gonna break…
18. There gonna clean up your looks with all the lies in the books to make a citizen out of you

21. It’s not yet 6, the sun’s not up, father take away this cup.
22. I stand on the bloodfield, shell shocked and guilty.

I confess that I had to look up the spelling on #4 and I had to skip the original #8 because it was “The Holly and the Ivy” (an instrumental) from Behold! The Lamb of God which is a TRULY excellent album if you have not heard it.  It is beautiful musically and incredible as a story.

Thanks to Emily DeLoach for posting hers.   Very cool idea.
