First Lines

Below I will put a list of first lines from thirty songs can you name any of them, without resorting to Google or other search engines. Post a comment if you can identify them and I will cross them off the list. Also posted on Facebook.

She fell in love with his greasy machine
Mama told me when I was young
Sisters of the wayside bide their time in quiet peace
Say your prayers little one
Take heed, dear heart, once apart
Into the abyss I’ll fall-the eye of Horus
So this is dreamtime, and all is quiet
There once was a woman
I’m waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime
Never made it as a wise man
Blessed with an eye to see things as they are, will you draw me?
If you could see inside my heart
Day after day as I bodies slay
The words we say, old flowers fade away
I can see clearly now, a painful vision indeed
World turns black and white
You’re searching for your mind don’t know where to start
How far will a far side take me
Does it go from east to west
Die, die, die my darling
You need coolin’, baby, I’m not foolin’
Ya better come inside when you’re ready to
Mama take this badge from me
Wir teilen Zimmer und das Bett
I am a cleric serving god the king and queen
You’re holding all the pain inside
Rushing through 30, getting older every day
White man came across the sea
I have you here in my dreams at night
It’s true, we’re all a little insane

100,000

I have literally just scrobbled my 100,000^th track since I joined Last.fm on 27 December 2005 meaning I have played an average of 107 tracks a day.

The song that got the privilege to be song #100,000 was Unit It Sleeps by Metallica, more specifically it was the S&M version.

Iron Maiden Live at Twickenham Stadium

So nearly two weeks ago I went to see Iron Maiden perform at Twickenham Stadium in London, it was the only UK date on their world Somewhere Back in Time tour. They were supported by Lauren Harris, Within Temptation, and Avenged Sevenfold. I was located towards the rear of the stadium in the stands, where we were plagued by poor sound for all of the support acts and occasionally during Maidens performance itself, the atmosphere when Maiden were playing more than made up for this. With the crowd chanting every lyric with passion, even Bruce was left speechless. Another highlight was I listed to Churchill twice in one day

The set list was as follows:

Bon Jovi Live in Concert

Chris — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:48:25 +0000

Last night I went with my sister and her friend to see Bon Jovi live at Ashton Gate, Bristol. It was an absolutely fantastic gig, the support act (a local band), switchbladeuk, were not that great personally and it was a shame that The Feeling were not supporting. The set list was what you would expect from Bon Jovi with a surprise thrown in, producing a smashing 2 hours of audible pleasure. I also kinda forgot to mention I got to go on stage, for an entire three songs You Give Love a Bad Name, Summertime, and Raise Your Hands because my sister won a competition.
