TITLE THAT LYRIC!
Here, like every other journal on last.fm, is my shuffled 25-song first lyric. Guess them and win a prize.* Don't use Google. Or any other search engine. You *may* however, consult your CD collection…however, my cd collection is probably a lot lamer than yours, so consult your lame cds.

CLUE A: #2 and #22 don't sound at all similar, but have surprisingly similar opening lyrics.
CLUE B: Several of the songs mention the title in the opening line.
CLUE C: Here are all of the artists that perform the songs (not in any order, however) that haven't been guessed yet: Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, Jimi Hendrix, Simon And Garfunkel, Johnny Cash, Roger Miller, Marshall Crenshaw, Aztec Camera, Elliott Smith, Belly, Belle & Sebastian, The Thrills, Jill Sobule, Robert Palmer, Steely Dan, Everclear, ABBA, The Bangles, Ben Folds Five, Matthew Sweet, & Paul McCartney and Wings.

Congrats to Mikey for being the first to play.
