Song first line meme

[catsidhe]

Take all tracks in collection (all 3362 of them), shuffle, pick the first n in order, post the first line and see who can guess the song (artist, composer, whatever).

I've left out the instrumentals. There are a few.

Of the following, some should be trivial, some will be impossible, the rest will be in between.

1. Oh, you wired me awake and hit me with a hand of broken nails.
   Rusty Cage, Soundgarden lokicarbis
   
2. Je suis d'Allemagne


3. It was an April morning when they told us we should go


4. All aboard, all aboard, whoa-o!
   Last train to Trancentral, KLF tcpip
   
5. Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them: it gets up and kills, the people it kills get up and kill...


6. Kyrié eléison
   Kyrie, this version from Missa l'Homme Armé by Guillaume duFay ghymoreids_mum
   
7. Aller êrst lebe ich mir werde


8. What do you do when you're falling, you've got 30° and you're stalling out


9. Sanctus sanctus sanctus Dominus
   Sanctus, this version from Missa l'Homme Armé by Josquin Desprez ghymoreids_mum
   
10. (After sanctus sanctus sanctus &c...) Give Me Release


11. And if I die today, I'll be the happy phantom
    Happy Phantom, Tori Amos alecto23
    
12. I am just a newborn, stranger in this town.
    Young Lust, Pink Floyd lokicarbis
    
13. Here, in my head, I found you here and running around and following me
    Here, in my head, Tori Amos alecto23
    
14. It's alright, I'll come round when you're not in.


15. All alone all alone all by myself
    Fingertips #12, They Might Be Giants lokicarbis
    
16. And through the life force and there goes her friend

4. Chattanooga Choo-Choo ? Glenn Miller and his orchestra
6 Kyrie eleison [from the mass. too many to even contemplate]
likewise
9.Sanctus [also from the mass]

[Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus Deus sabaoth, pleni sunt caeli et terra

together with the Gloria and the Agnus Dei, they form the roper[?] of the mass]

6 and 9: I said some were easy, didn't I? And hard at the same time... As you say, so many Masses, by so many people, and they all have these sections.


As for 4... so very not.

11. Happy Phantom, Tori Amos
13. Here, In My Head, Tori Amos
16. Bells For Her, Tori Amos (that one came up for me, too!)

It's hard for me to say whether the kyrie, agnus dei etc are parts of masses or requiems or various other possibilities.

I have no idea why Tori made so many appearances.

Oh, wait, it might have something to do with there being seven albums worth of her in the playlist...

[alecto23.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm kind of surprised that with 11 albums and 13 singles, I only got one of her songs in my sample! There is a lot of other stuff, too, of course, which must explain it.

What the hell? Noone has picked this?
