There was a meme going around a while back, where you pick out your favorite lyrics from twenty songs from your computer's playlist. I did all the songs I could from my first playlist. Here's the first half. Try to guess the song.
1. X
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
2.
Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks love the treetops
Just look to see the sights
3.X
I look to the time with you
To keep me awake and alive
All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, soon will burn
4.X I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
5. X
Kiss a girl and everything's all right
Can I get away again tonight?
6.X
Don't tell me that you love me
Just say that you want me
7.X
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
8.
Now they are gone and I sit alone
And watch one cigarette burn away
9.
Speeding to a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach his ears
Blinding with a vision of eternity
Scream into a future that could never be
10.X
I can't do what them people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
11.
If you survive til two-thousand and five
I hope you're exceedingly thin
For if you are stout, you will have to breathe out
So the man next to you can breathe in
12.X I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
13.
Put your arms around me
Every bit of your love
You know what to do
And it’s up to you
14.X You believe in things that you don't understand and you suffer
15. So if you can, please understand you might not come back
16.
Hey buddy, would you like to buy a watch?
Here on the street?
17.X
I can fly like a bird in the sky
I can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desire
18.
There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't
I was gonna change, but I'm not, to keep doing things I don't
19.X
I close my eyes; she's somehow closer now
Softly smile I know she must be kind
When - I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
20.X Oh yeah, all day, and nighttime yours leave me never.
21. X
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
22.
I've been told by some you'll forget me
The thought doesn't upset me
I am blind to whatever they're saying
And all I can see is the fire in your eyes
1. X

Yes, it's "I can't get next to you," but the Temptations' version is the only one I'm familiar with.
Here are the answers (http://www.livejournal.com/users/low_delta/871802.html?nc=1), if you're done guessing.
Thanks for playing!
