10 Lines #12

Once more, unto the breach...

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.

None of these artists/bands come from the United States. For additional satisfaction, identify country of origin.

1. If you twist and turn away.

2. Well, my heart knows me better than I know myself.

3. Making your move, you come down as fast as lightning.

4. She's a loaded gun.

5. It's four in the morning, the end of December.

6. I was alone thinking I was just fine.

7. The lights on the west way go on.

8. I woke up, you left me — you know I'm hurting for you.

9. We got it together, didn't we?

10. You told me tales of love and glory.

8. Why does love do this to me? - the exponents

This is an interesting one - wasn't aware of this song until I attended a friend's wedding last year. Her husband was a Kiwi and I found that the exponents (earlier dance exponents) were a New Zealand institution.

Don't ask me why - but they sing along to this one at rugby matches - I gather that its a part of tradition - like the haka. Look it up on Youtube to see snatches of NZ crowd grooving to this song at rugby matches ...

I know someone has named #5 already, so I'll just recommend the Tori Amos version.
