Monday lyrics

[kate_nepveu]

Some silliness to start the week—guess the song based on the first line(s) (source: iPod five-star playlist, shuffled and re-arranged as it amused me). Answers tomorrow.

1. I walked twenty blocks to your favorite bakery, to pick you up a little treat / I know you're not an early riser, after a long night on your feet
2. It's one-thirty in the morning but that's all right by me
3. You don't have to prove your manhood to me constantly / I know you're the man can't you see
4. Fantasies of violence, breaking bottles on the wall
5. It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank
6. You said to never ever come back; I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by that / I know that we have had some problems, but I've got solutions in my head
7. There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week / I keep on talking trash but I never say anything
8. Gone, she's gone, how do you feel about it? / That's what I thought, you're real torn up about it
9. Well tell me do you think it'd be all right, if I could just crash here tonight
10. Watch an eyeball take a free fall / at the mention of a name / in its socket like a rocket / rises just the same

Edit: now with extra lyrics for the unguessed and difficult ones.

2. Counting Crows, "Why Should You Come When I Call?"
9. Gin Blossoms, "Hey Jealousy."

Yah, I'm a clear demographic.

(4) Cats Laughing, "For It All"

#3 is The Pogues and Kristy MacCool, The Fairytale of New York.

Perhaps the greatest Christmas song ever, IMHO.

And I'm 0 for 10; wrong demographic, I fear (besides, I've never been able to decipher most rock lyrics; god bless bands that print them on the album jacket).

I only know "Hey Jealousy", and someone already got that.

To be fair, #1, #6 and #10 never acheived any widespread popularity (that I know of). It took me a while to come up with #7, and #3 and #8 don't really ring any bells.

(I don't feel right identifying the ones I do know, since I'm the one who got the tracks in the first place...)
