#2 is Elvis Costello's brilliant "I Want You"

#17 is the Black-Eyed Peas (featuring Justin Timberlake), "Where Is The Love"

[runpunkrun]

8 is Colin Hay "Beautiful World."

9 is BNL "Same Thing."

14 is "you will you will you will" etc, mine was by Snow Patrol, yours isn't.

19 sounds familiar, but I'll just give up instead.

[themoonbar.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Several of these are familiar, but I can only get a few:

11. The Barenaked ladies, Same Thing
12. Maroon Five, She Will be loved
14. Bright Eyes, You Will

[septicemic.livejournal.com]

That's my FAVORITE icon, right there. Am so glad somebody ganked it.

[fourteenlines.livejournal.com]

Ah. #5 is courtesy of moi, "Lay Me Down" by The Frames.

And #19 is "The Asshole Song" by Jude.

Also, the cut-tag text is "Rick James" by Jude. *g*

And I knew the BNL one as well, of course.

And! (To continue a theme in first words of sentences) I'm very interested to learn that Snow Patrol covered a Bright Eyes song. Because I love Snow Patrol and really sort of hate Bright Eyes, but I think he writes some interesting songs.

Also, I've been drinking. *g*

This clearly shows how ignorant I am of song lyrics. I didn't recognize a single one, but I'm curious about #4, which sounds like a Londo/G'Kar song.*g*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_swallow/]

I know none of these (except the already-guessed Costello), but I love you madly anyway.

[cpsings4him.livejournal.com]

Number 18's gotta be Norah Jones (that girl LOVE the moon apparently - sings about it all the time!). Is it "Creepin' In"?

[tangleofthorns.livejournal.com]

15. "Good Life," Francis Dunnery, from Scrubs, see, I pay attention!

[intl-princess.livejournal.com]

10 = Strange Boat by the Waterboys. A reference to Sab's Home for the Wayward, no doubt? Just read mandysbitch's Scrubs!fic and was thinking of you. Merry festive season.

[maudelynn.livejournal.com]

Dude, all the ones I know have been snatched away, guessed and identified, but you know I'd offer up a variety of precious things, my body included for your icon? Because it's my boy, in his crazy days of wild hair and cigarettes and snarling fuck the folkies and play rock n'roll, but sill keep your smile days.

[woodsparks.livejournal.com]

#1: R. Kelly's Ignition
#10: The Waterboy's Strange Boat

[tantallon.livejournal.com]

pardon me for just passing through but I like these lyric memes and this is one of the most varied I've seen today. Guess I got to them late but there's one

*11. the shape we're meant to make is gone

That's Iron and Wine - Lion's Mane.
best line from that 'the earth is warmer when you laugh'
