because, when have i ever been able to not do this meme?

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Write down the first line from the first 20 songs that play or close to it.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

ETA rest of answers for completeness' sake etc.

1. i don't know why you care, he doesn't even know you're there - *NSYNC, "Girlfriend", mumblemutter

19. coming up beyond belief on this coronary thief - Placebo, "Special K", babylil
20. we were born within an hour of each other - Pulp, "Disco 2000", also babylil

(some easy ones! and i would say "this is such a weird list of songs"; but it's only to be expected; itunes loves to laugh in my face, when has it ever not? - skipped: instrumental pieces, songs with lyrics in languages other than english, the endless repeats of songs #6 and #14. also one or two songs where i can't figure out the lyrics at all. ssshhh.)
