Guess-the-Lyrics Hints

By drorzel on May 29, 2007.

Only four songs from the Memorial Day music post remain unguessed, so here are some additional hints:

1) "So, she said it's time she goes, but wanted to be sure I know she hopes we can be friends."

2) "And as we sort out the who said, you said, who said, I said, I only wish I came a little better prepared."

3) "I can't stop/ The way I feel/ Things you do/ Don't seem real."

11) "She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this."

#2 is legitimately kind of obscure, but the others are among the best-known songs by the artists in question. #3 gets line breaks indicated because it has very few lyrics that aren't the chorus.

1. "No Myth", Michael Penn
11. "Tunnel of Love", Dire Straits

Confirmed the title of #1 with Google.

Couldn't you have used ONE Warren Zevon song??? :-)

That's all of them, though using Google is cheating...

Couldn't you have used ONE Warren Zevon song?

Hey, I'm at the mercy of the iTunes shuffle algorithm...

Thanks a lot for that riddle!

I spent an hour or two afterwards to listen to "maybe this ones" which I haven't heard for a long time. That's fun.
