Too far gone
It’s hard to stop
Baby you’re my dream in motion
And I won’t give up
Teasing me … with your fire
My finger’s on the trigger
Your the one I desire
Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick.
O.K. I think these are all the unanswered ones:
9)In the deserts of Sudan and the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan, ev’ry woman, ev’ry man
13)We had some good machines
But they don’t work no more
I loved you once
Don’t love you anymore"
18)Love’s the only thing that keeps me here
You’re the reason that I’m hanging on
My heart’s staying where my heart belongs
19)I know baby
It’s hard to be strong

And don’t think you’re alone
Cause I know
All your sad goodbyes
Cause I’ve been there before
To help you dry your eyes

With all this bullshit going down
So scratch #9 off the list!
Ahwa, a place to stay
get your booty on the floor tonight
make my day.

Take a gander at these, and meanwhile I’ll study the new offerings.
And fire flew from his fingertips
as he rosined up his bow.
Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your ****
So I’m sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin’
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
Eh, damn computer screwing things up… Sorry scott evil. Well, at least I have a new one…

I’m sorta surprised no one got #29 (I think it was 29) yet.
