Just for fun, this one is extra hard. Good luck to all and remember, no googling!:
- It used to seem to me that my life went on too fast, and I had to take things slowly, just to make the good times last.
- Got no where but home to go. Got Ben Folds on my radio right now.
- Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through. Everybody sing, "I'm cool." "He's cool." I should not complain, but sometimes I still do.
- I realize the best part of love is the thinnest lies but it don't count for much, and I'm not letting to. I believe there's too much to believe in.
- He came from somewhere back in her long ago. Sentimental fool don't see, trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created.
- Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to.
- I tried to discover a little something to make me sweeter. Oh baby, refrain from breaking my heart.
- Boy mercury, shooting through every degree. Oh girl dancing down those dirty and dusty trails.
- Get yourself a lawyer and a gun.
- We were supposed to go on and do much bigger things than we've done. With stitches and makeup, you'll hold it together for me.
- Make a hole with a gun perpendicular to the name of this town in a desktop globe
- Me and my brother were talking to each other about what makes a man a man.
- I wanted to be with you alone and talk about the weather.
- Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank. I can't be blamed for nothing anymore. It's been a long time since you've been around. Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank.
- The weekend in the college didn't turn out like you planned. The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.
- When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle that when she passes, each one she passes goes oooo.
- Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies.
- Sittin' here resting my bones and this loneliness won't leave me alone.
- I've got an electric guitar. I play my stupid songs. I write these stupid words, and I love every one.
- When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around. Those pretty faces always always made you stand out in a crowd.

All right. Extra quickie answers without thinking for the really easy ones. Both because I should be trying to do actual "work" at work AND because one of the songs reminded me that you might not have seen this vid yet!
