Haven't had a quiz for a while, so here goes.
This is a pseudo-random shuffle from my music collection. The artistes are of a certain genre, the type of which is not difficult to establish. The lyrics have something in common as well, again probably not hard to establish.
Any similarity to any other quiz is unintended.
1. "You sit in your room, pretending to cry"
2. "Is this something, on your mind?"
3. "I think you have somebody waiting outside in the rain to take you away"
4. "The light, begin to bleed"
5. "Tony went to fight in Belfast"
6. "I've been sitting up waiting for my sugar to show"
7. "She makes me so unsure of myself"
8. "What I choose to do is no concern to you and your friends"
9. "I'm goin', yes I'm goin', yes I'm goin' away"
10. "Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners"
11. "I'm in a new place now, They don't know me next door"
12. "Let your fighting scars heal in the sun of a bright windy day"
13. "Just a kiss just a kiss"
14. "When you were young, and on your own"
15. "You think you're denying me of something"
16. "Some people think they jive me, but I know they must be crazy"
17. "Nobody feels any pain tonight as I stand inside the rain"
18. "She packed my bags last night pre flight"
19. "I woke up this morning, with an attitude"
20. "Betty came by on her way"
