I totally guessed your number one! Like my top two albums couldn't have been guessed either?! lol Predictable isn't a bad thing. I embrace it.

I will work on the lyrics one unless somebody else wants to claim it. I'll give you 5 minutes...

lol Yeah I guess predictable isn't all that bad. At least we're consistent!

And unless someone else comes up with an awesome idea, I'd love to do a lyrics round myself. Pretty please?

And they break you down
Into tiny pieces
As they watch you drown"
- People by Nadia Ali

4. "There's no pride to be found when you follow sheep around." - A Town Called Hypocrisy by Lostprophets

Try walking in my shoes"

I'll walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her

1. To have sixty silver wishes
Is a small price to pay
They'll be your private little fishes
And they'll never swim away

- Just the Right Bullets - Tom Waits

2. No second thoughts the knife is nearing
You'll never hear the little pitter patter pitter patter
of this little feat of engineering

- Sex Changes - the Dresden Dolls

3. Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

- Eleanor Rigby - the Beatles

4. Ophelia was a rebel girl
A blue stocking suffragette
Who remedied society
Between her cigarettes

- Ophelia - Natalie Merchant

5. Trilogy, O trilogy, I want my trilogy,
Don’t stop at one, Don’t stop at two,
Gorramit, gimme three!
Trilogy, O trilogy, that’s what I want to see,
Someday I’ll own a boxed set
Of that Big Damn Trilogy!

- Big Damn Trilogy - Bedlam Bards [yeah only a Firefly fan could appreciate this song lol]

6. My friend has spite, he gets shakes in the night
And they say that there's no way that they could have
Caught it in time takes his toll on him
It is traditional, it is inherited, predispositional
All day I've been wondering what is inside of me
Who can I blame for it? I say it runs in the family

- Runs in the Family - Amanda Palmer

7. I'm leavin' my fam'ly
Leavin' all my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
On a new front page sky
My tears are salt water
And the moon's full and high

- Shiver Me Timbers - Tom Waits

8. In my mind
In a future five years from now
I'm 120 pounds
And I never get hungover
Because I will be the picture of discipline
Never minding what state I'm in
And I will be someone I admire
And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
But it does not seem to have happened
Maybe I've just forgotten how to see
That I'm not exactly the person that I thought I'd be

- In My Mind - Amanda Palmer

9. Your gun went off.
Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you.
My mouth runs on too.
Shouts from both sides,
"Well we've got the land but they've got the view!"
Well now here's the clue.
Life it rents us.
And yeah I hope it put plenty on you.
Well I hope mine did too.

- The View - Modest Mouse

10. A terrible thought has moved into my mind
Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine
It feeds on my happiness won't pay the rent
I must take proper measures to evict it

- Terrible Thought - Poe

Dang...do I have to stop? lol Amanda and Tom have the best lyrics ever.
