1. On the corner is a banker in a motorcar. The little children laugh at him behind his back. And the banker never wears a mack in the pouring rain. Very strange. Anonymous got it: Penny Lane by the Beatles

2. It seems to me you and me are chasing something here. What it is does anybody here want to know? It seems to me you and me are forgetting something here. Love is so easily forgotten. HINT: Try not to get a big head about ya!
This is Big Head Todd's song Circle.

3. It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..." But it's not all that easy. So maybe I should snap her up in a butterfly net, pin her down on a photograph album. I am not worried cuz you've done this sort of thing before. But then I start to think about the consequences and I don't get no sleep in a quiet room. HINT: How many of these little black birds are there? Let's count...!
Counting Crows' Anna Begins from the album August and Everything After.

4. She's gone to the other side, given us the yo heave ho. Things are getting kind of gross. And I go at sleepy time. This is not really, this, this, this is not really happening. You bet your life it is. You bet your life it is. Good job, Chris! Cornflake Girl by Tori Amos

5. This is the first day of my last days. Built it up now take it apart. Climbed up real high now fall down real far. No need for me to stay. The last thing left, I just threw it away. I put my faith in god and my trust in you. Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do. Honey got it! Wish by Nine Inch Nails

6. I'm stepping through the door and I'm floating in a most peculiar way. And the stars look very different today. For here am I sitting in a tin can far above the world. Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do. Honey got it: Space Oddity by David Bowie

7. Well I wanna make love to you tonight I can't wait till the morning has come. Yea, I know the time now is just right and straight into my arms you will run. When you come up I will be waiting to make sure that you're never alone. There and then all my dreams will come true, dear, there and then I will make you my own. HINT: "What a marvelous night..." Lili got it: Van Morrison's Moondance

8. Hey, you know they're all the same. You know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in. Live right now. Just be yourself It doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else HINT: If you're not the oldest, and you're not the youngest, that makes you the _______ child. KC got it: Jimmy Eat World's In The Middle

9. Faster than the speeding light she's flying, trying to remember where it all began. She's got herself a little piece of heaven, waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one. And I feel like I just got home. Shannin got it! Ray of Light by Madonna

10. Lift me, lift me, I attain my dream. I lost myself, I lost them, heartache calling me. I lost myself in sorrow. I lost myself in pain. I lost myself in gravity, memory, believe, leave, leave. That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me, that's what keeps me down. HINT: The title is actually in this verse somewhere. Maybe you should sleep on it...maybe you'll dream (also known as....) You go, Brando! R.E.M.'s Leave

11. The youthful heart can love you, yes and give you what you need. I said this youthful heart can love you and give you what you need. But I'm too old to go chasing you around, wasting my precious energy. Rich got it: Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman

12. So young here I am again talking to myself, a T.V. blares. Oh man, oh how I wish I didn't smoke or drink to reason with my head. But sometimes this thick confusion grows until I cannot bare it all.
Needle to the vein. Needle to the vein. Take this needle from my vein my friend! HINT: My favorite band ever (see my 100 Things for help). That's all I'm giving you right now.
This is Dave Matthews Band's Rhyme and Reason!!!

13. Say a prayer for me help to feel the strength I did. My identity, has it been taken. Is my heart breaking on me? All my plans fell through my hands, they fell through my hands on me. In my dreams it suddenly seems empty. HINT: The title is in this verse, too, and the band is named after fruit(s). Good enough, Heather! It's Empty by the Cranberries.

14. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, Doctor Everything-Will-Be-Alright, instead of asking him how much of your time is left, ask him how much of your mind, baby. Cause in this life, things are much harder than the Afterworld. In this life, you're on your own. He got his numbers mixed up but Honey's right anyway! Lets Go Crazy by Prince and the Revolution

15. Breaking a stick with a brick on the sand. Riding a wave in the wake of an old Sedan. Sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness. Scratched by the sand that fell from our love. Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling. If you're alone I'll come home. HINT: This is a way early song for this band and unless you're a big fan of 'em, you may not be familiar with this song about a far away town in France...ahhhh!
Pay attention, people. This is Pink Floyd's San Tropez. This is pre-Roger Waters. If you don't know it, find it, listen to it, you'll love it!

16. What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head. You should know better you never listened to what I've said. Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat. Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did. Bubblehead got it! Harder to Breathe by Maroon 5.

17. At this moment, you should be with us...feeling like we do, like you loved to but never will again. I miss you, my dear Xiola. I prepared the room tonight with christmas lights, a city of candles, and fresh incense. HINT: This is actually a spoken intro to this 11 minute-long song. Pre-grunge. One of the band members married Carmen Electra (who hasn't!). Dawn, I'm giving you this one because Dave Navarro was in both Jane's Addiction and RHCP for a while -- he's the one who married Carmen Electra. This is actually the intro to Three Days by Jane's Addiction (off the Ritual album)

18. So many have paid to see what you think you're getting for free. The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar. Money's the matter. If you're in it for love you ain't gonna get too far. Honey got it: Maneater by Hall and Oates

19. Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, Ya gotta help me make a stand. You just got to see me through another day. My body's aching and my time is at hand. I won't make it any other way. Honey got this one too: Fire and Rain by James Taylor

20. There she stumbles, falling to her knees. I think she tripped on reality. I have witnessed tragic comedies. And that's the world in which she leads. Well, I'd walk a million miles to give her all that she needs. And she would walk a million more to do what she believes. HINT: I can't think of a hint for this one because I'm not very familiar with it. Except that it's actually a duet between a more modern band and a flashy, homosexual, classic entertainer.
This is Collective Soul singing with Elton John...the song is called Perfect Day.
