Pick twenty songs' lines from a shuffled mp3 list, see if your friends know the songs from the lines you picked, run and scream, pass on the meme.
- "I like it here, but it scares me to death: there is nothing here..."
- "What can you see, on the horizon?"
- "Come on, try a little; nothing is forever..."
- "I, I will be king; and you, you will be queen..."
- "A tiny tiny little thief, a petty petty little criminal, sit still, is that straight?"
- "And it's ironic too, 'cos what we tend to do/ is act on what they say, and then it is that way"
- "I've drifted for a lifetime, and still more; I'd give a kingdom just to be on your sandy shore"
- "It's a treacherous road, with a desolated view/ those distant lights, I hear they're far and few"
- "the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out"
- "I hope the Russians love their children too"
- "You make me lay down, you make me forget I am here"
- "I'm messed up, better I should know"
- "When the dark wood rose before me, and all the paths were overgrown..."
- "Everything you wanted me to hide is everything that makes me feel alive"
- "Sitting in the rain alone, looking for a place that's gone..."
- "And through the night behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west"
- "I said darling, shocking, appalling..."
- "So you can make me come; that doesn't make you Jesus."
- "Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds, dreaming aloud..."
- "We'll see how brave you are, we'll see how fast you'll be running..."

20 is also Tori - "Yes, Anastasia."
I'm sure I know 9, but can't place it without a Google search that would be cheating.
The list of lines is very you, somehow.
