2) In the autumn, it was winter's watch I was keeping, and the world was brown and gold. ("I'm Fine," Patty Larkin,bibulb)

4) Just hold my hand while I come . . . to a decision on this. ("Save It For Later," originally by the English Beat, covered by Harvey Danger,follybard)
5) Breathe into my hands; I'll cup them like a glass to drink from. ("Glass Vase Cello Case," Tattle Tale,bibulb, and this one was a bit of a toughie)
6) Etch out a future of your own design, well-tailored to your needs. ("Windpower," Thomas Dolby,quantumduck)

14) Holy Lady, show me my soul; tell me of that place where I must surely go. Old man waiting at the gates for me, give me the wisdom, give me the key! ("House of Stone and Light," Martin Page)
15) And you know for a million years he has been your father; he'll be a million more ("Greenman," XTC,quantumduck)
16) I stand alone out on the road; I know my flesh will rot. But the renegade and crazy free will not be forgot! ("You Can't Kill Me," Mojo Nixon, and there are several of you who should have gotten this!)
17) Look straight at the coming disaster; realize what you've lost. ("Horseshoes," Moxy Fruvous,bibulb)
18) Sadness is hanging there to show Love somewhere something needs a change. ("They'll Need A Crane," They Might Be Giants,follybard)
19) So wild, so free, so far from me - you're all I want, my fantasy . . . ("Photograph," Def Leppard)
