More precious than silver
More precious than diamond rings or anything that I could give you
159: Cigarette smoke was annoying and my mood was fit for a bath
201: No sleepin’, she waits tables late, tryin’ to stay tough
Never ending, however long she waits, it’s just not enough
203). My favorite she-wolf
knocking on my door
she likes to roll the rug up

And since I sent the post before I could add this - you are in no way a pile of suck Hamadryad. I’ve just turned 33 and I’ve heard of very little of these… as is apparent I spend my youth listening to different stuff. So I’m way behind the rest of the class on this test.

I’m going home to listen to Floodland.
I was listening to it in the car this morning. 
O.K., what is the answer to 17 already?
Now when you take me by the… who’s… ever gonna know
Every time you move I let a little more show

Well you’ve got a lot of nerve to call yourselves a pioneer

There were times when I could have murdered her. But you know I would hate anything to happen to her. No I don’t want to see her.
Hey y’all, this thread finally dropped to page 2. Are we all played out? If so, can we get some answers to the unfinished questions, either from the original posters or from Google? I can’t stand to let these things hang out there!
Oh, and 223 is bucket of BEER, not bucket of BEAR. Sort of different.
224 The Smiths - Girlfriend in a Coma
OK, I’ll give up my unanswered ones, I think I’m done playing:
168 = Graham Parker - Get Started
203 = Jerry Harrison - Rev it Up
225: Well this one way love-affair, it ain’t fair
It ain’t no kind of fair to me

Instead of pushing palaces to fall
Put that, put that, put that before all

Curtains drawn fall open to allow
The light shows up the dust
That plays around your face
