- I wish you’d make up my bed/So I could make up my mind/Try it for sleeping instead/Maybe you’ll rest sometime (Come Pick Me Up by Ryan Adams, guessed by MMJ213)
- And I'm thinking what a mess we're in/Hard to know where to begin/If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made/And now every mother, can choose the colour/Of her child/That's not nature's way/Well that's what they said yesterday (Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai, guessed by shaeiy)
- Feed till the sun turns into wood dousing an ancient torch/Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love
- I'm too cynical/I'm just sitting here/I'm just wasting my time/Half a million civilians gonna die today/But look the wrong way/Then read it in the headlines
- You're the anchor that holds me down/When my ship is sinking/You won't let me drown and I'm grateful
- Sleeping is giving in/No matter what the time is/Sleeping is giving in/So lift those heavy eyelids (Rebellion (Lies) by the Arcade Fire, guessed by socialretard)
- Tryin’ to enjoy my readin'/But you insist on interpretin’ text/Oh go on fuck off I’m pleadin’/Every sentence is a pretext for sex sex sex sex (It's a Pose by Nellie McKay, guessed by Cosgrove)
- And if I only could/I'd make a deal with God/And I'd get him to swap our places (Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, guessed by Kza)
- The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd/Increases the chance of misinterpretation/So let your hips do the talking/I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings/And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
- I’ve got a 1980 Volvo/I get in start it up and I go/It ain’t a vintage Cadillac/But it always gets me there and back (Good to Me by Brendan Benson, guessed by elvish fiend)
- My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare/I had to cram so many things to store everything in there (Five Years by David Bowie, guessed by AAA)
- I backed my car into a cop car the other day/Well he just drove off, sometimes life’s OK/I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say?/Well you just laughed it off, it was all OK (Float On by Modest Mouse, guessed by Kza)
- You tell me that you love me and you never do lie/And you fight for my honor but I just don't know why/You fight for my honor and I don't understand/But hold on your honor I'll get ice for your hand (Your Honor by Regina Spektor, guessed by Andrea A.)
- I walked across an empty land/I knew the pathway like the back of my hand/I felt the earth beneath my feet/Sat by the river and it made me complete (Somewhere Only We Know by Keane, guessed by taryn)
- It was hard to tell just how I felt/To not recognize myself/I started to fade away/And after all it won't take long to fall in love/Now I know what I don't want/I learned that with you
- Next door there's an old man/Who lived to his nineties/And one day passed away in his sleep/And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days and passed away/I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you/That I know we belong (The Luckiest by Ben Folds, guessed by AJDaGreat)
- The warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout/Now all that dies is staying and all that lives is getting out
- And all that I want, and all that I need/and all that I've got is scattered like seed/And all that I knew is moving away from me/And all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed(Sadie by Joanna Newsom, guessed by AAA)
- When we meet we can talk awhile/I can sleep in your dreams/The night alone I've been waiting
- Oh I'm scared of the middle place/Between light and nowhere/I don't want to be the one/Left in there, left in there
- Every girl I’ve seen since looks just like you when I squint/I know you said it’s for the best, I still don’t understand why you left
- I thought that I saw something shining/beneath your superficial dirge/youre no hidden treasure/so next time, I'll leave you at the curb.
- My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb/And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
- Everytime I see your face/I think of things unpure, unchaste/I want to fuck you like a dog/I'll take you home and make you like it (Flower by Liz Phair, guessed by AJDaGreat)
- "What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter/"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore"
- You will never understand/how it feels to live your life/with no meaning or control/and with nowhere else to go
- This is how it works/you're young until you're not/you love until you don't/you try until you can't/you laugh until you cry/you cry until you laugh/and everyone must breathe until their dying breath
- Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder/We shouldnt be sadder/Than others like us/Who have goals for the betterment of life

I carried over some unguessed lyrics from my old game, and added a few of my personal favourite lyrics. Can you figure them out? Some are obvious, and some are very obscure.
8. "Running Up That Hill", Kate Bush
12. "Float On", Modest Mouse
11. Rock 'n Roll Suicide - David Bowie
Not quite there yet.
Whoops! Five Years.
A-ha! #7 is "It's a Pose" by Nellie McKay!
#16 is of course "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds.
That is one of the very few songs that makes me cry no matter how many times I hear it.
I'm pretty sure #14 is Keane, "Somewhere Only We Know"
#6 is Rebellion (Lies) by the Arcade Fire
11. David Bowie - "5 Years"
18. Joanna Newsom - "Sadie"
10 is good to me by brendan benson, or a cover of that song by the white stripes
13. Your Honor- Regina Spektor.
Great song.
