Last Dance with Mary Jane by Tom Petty (a song that gets stuck in my head every spring-summer because of the line: "I feel summer creeping in and I'm tired of this town again")

Mine:

"I’ll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I’ll get home early from work if you say that you love me."

Next:
Looking out a dirty old window, down below the cars in the city go rushing by.

Oingo Boingo "Dead Man's Party"

And since I think this will be a hard one, I'll give you a whole verse:

"Memories of things that never happened
these are always the hardest to forget
all the old friends and the loved ones
these are the people you haven't even met
looking forward into the old days
looking back at what there will be
there's no reality it's just an illusion
there's no real sanity just plain confusion"

Re: Name that Tune
 

Okay, it looks like that was too hard, it was "The Mirror Song" by Thomas Dolby (from the movie "Toys")

This one should be a little easier:

"Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning"

If I'm right then here's the next one:

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Back Here by BBMak

Didn't even notice when she slipped away
Maybe while I lay fast asleep
When out into the night she creeps
I'll leave the light on
So she'll come back someday

Frown out your one face

Holds her child
Watches him die

I've been crying on the inside over you
Just slipped through my fingers as life turned away
It's been a long cold winter since that day

The lyrics kinda gave it away: The Arms of Sorrow - Killswitch Engage

Shame pulses through my heart from the things I've done to you
It's hard to face but the fact remains that this is nothing new
I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin but deep inside I'm not insane

This song has an awesome evil laugh in it. :cool:
Anyone who knows this song will know what I'm talking about

In big old black and bloody letters, ten feet tall

Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there"

The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around"

You can dish it, but can you really take it

You're never gonna get it with nothing
Cause nothing's what you got in your head

"This virgin churns on the back of her own indisposed and throbbing body.
Nauseated she chokes on her own vomit emitted from her distended and desiccated throat.
Weak and obscured this woman's body begins to convulse and twitch in her now soiled sheets with an abdomen beginning to flourish as her ribs now unhinge and shift.
Beneath the rib cage lay a sweltering child."

Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it sure would be the let down

I could be the one to turn you on
You could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
