10 Lines #10

[khaosworks]

Ten first lines from my iTunes playlist right now. Guess the songs. Bonus points for guessing the artist and album, or guessing the version that I have (if it's been covered), where applicable. Play fair now, no Googling.

All love songs. Of course.

1) "You're dangerous, 'cause you're honest."

2) "You can't know, oh no, you can't know, how much I think about you."

3) "It's not the way you smile that touched my heart."

4) "I drew a picture of you; you and your anchor tattoo."

5) "You've done it all, you've broken every code."

6) "It felt like Springtime on this February morning..."

7) "It's not the pale moon that excites me."

8) "You give your hand to me, and then you say hello."

9) "I know a couple — she sits in a rocking chair..."

10) "Jump into the night, gas up and down shift, cruise up the coast on the FM drift..."

5) Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, "Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile)".
8) I'm sure I should know....

then again, considering who he is, it might also be the Duran Duran cover of it (which I do like a lot myself, and which gets included on more things than the original).

4 is That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart by Aimee Mann.

And that's all I know. I needed to sing through Come Up and See Me to remember it, too.

Ooh I know some of these.

6 - As I lay me down to sleep, Sophie B Hawkins
7 - It's just the nearness of you, jazz standard
8 - You don't know me, covered by a few artists

3. Baby, It's You? Not sure who sings it, though. The version I know is by The Beatles.

Not the Carpenters version, because she sings "touches". Smith?

7. The Nearness of You

9) "The Kind of Love You Never Recover From" - there are covers of this, but I'll guess the original by the songwriter, Christine Lavin.

#1 U2 "white Horses"
#6 Can't remember the artist but I know the rest of the damned song "As I lay me down to sleep, I pray that you will hold me, dear..."

9) Christine Lavin, The Kind of Love You Never Recover From.

Several sound vaguely familiar, but I know for sure that #10 is "Object of my Affection" by Shawn Colvin.

#9 is Christine Lavin's "The Kind of Love you never recover from".
