Found-Poem Music Meme

From a whole bunch of people on my friends-list:

Put your media player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title [and I wish it weren't].

"Fried Chicken"

Give me silence
Do you remember a guy that's been
Mother was a geisha girl
I don't hate you or want you
Been a long road to follow

Who is the searcher?
Let's dance.

If I give you sugar
Now, o now, I needs must part
In the first days of the springtime
I'll grant all your wishes.

Twenty-first of July:
paranoids,
time in hands,
you're such a mystery.
Seems like it's real--
Destroy everything you touch, today.

Cato, play with my head.
I know what they said:

I was on the front line of the march.
