Ok, so here are a list of lyrics from various songs. Can you guess, without using Google (or any search engine for that matter), what songs they're from? I've tried to keep to more commonly-known songs. In the parentheses below it is a hint of the song's genre. Good luck.

1) Why do I bother / When you're not the one for me / Is enough enough
(90's)

2) (What follows) me as the whitest lace of light / (Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued
(Punk)

3) Let me be all the words echoing comfort / Let me be all the words that you'd unsay
(Punk)

4) Save the Fairyland we live in / Where all failings are forgiven
(Ethereal)

5) But I don't care for sugar honey if I can't have you / Since you've abandoned me / My whole life has crashed
(90's pop)

6) How could it end this way / Don't leave me, love me / Just a little bit longer
(Trance)

7) I'm going back to where I came from / So far away, but not so far from home
(Alternative Rock)

8) You and me have a disease / You affect me, you infect me
(80's Punk)

9) I got you in my heart, I got you in my head / Let's make a rendezvous
(House)

10) We started making out and she took off my pants / But then I turned on the TV
(Punk)

11) Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky / They wipe away tears that I cry
(Dance)

12) Ohh baby, baby, it's a wild world / It's hard to get by just upon a smile
(70's Folk)

13) I was down at the New Amsterdam / Staring at this yellow-haired girl
(Alternative Rock)

14) Buy it, use it, break it, fix it / Trash it, change it, melt - upgrade it
(Electronic)

15) Tell me your life's been way off line / You're fallin' to pieces every time / And I don't need no carryin' on
(Pop)

16) Gimme all of your lovin' / Ev'ry little bit / Gimme all that you got / Ev'ry bit of it
(80's)

17) I'm going under / Drowning in you / I'm falling forever / I've got to break through
(Alternative Rock)

18) We've come a long long way together / Through the hard times and the good
(Electronic)

19) Do you have the time to listen to me whine / About nothing and everything all at once?
(Punk)

20) Hear the sound of the falling rain / Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
(Punk)

21) We can run away baby, come as you are / You can look at my heart as your getaway car
(Classic Rock)

22) She's so fine / She's probably somebody's only light / Gonna shine tonight
(Classic Rock)

23) You just saw your pain / And now I cry in the middle of the night / For the same dang thing
(Pop)

24) Every step that I take is another mistake to you / And every second I waste is more than I can take
("Nu-Metal" / Rapcore)

25) Give me a song, or rhythm / Make 'em sweat, that's what I'm giving 'em / Now, they know / You talking about the Hammer you talking about a show
(Hip-hop)

26) Your mom don't know that you were missing / She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
(Rock)

27) Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind / Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
(Rock)

28) Black bandana, sweet Louisiana / Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
(Alternative)

29) Since the moment I spotted you / Like walking around with little wings on my shoes / My stomach's filled with the butterflies
(Alternative Pop)

30) It's hard to say what it is I see in you / Wonder if I'll always be with you
(Alternative Pop)

31) What you see is what you never had / Get real / Get another / I don't exist when you don't see me
(Goth Rock)

32) Gimme the Ring, kissed and toll'd / Gimme something that I missed / A hand to hold, wild and what it seems
(Goth Rock)

33) Why don't think you trust / In my self-righteous suicide / I cry when angels deserve to die
(Metal)

34) When she embraces / Your heart turns to stone / She comes at night / When you're all alone
(Symphonic Metal)

Daniel, there are clowns. 
For shame... they got some good stuff. I suppose the best way to describe it might be "80's Biker rock"?

I'm going to say #14 is Technologic by Daft Punk.

keep it real 
the only ones i honestly know the full title/band to are the songs i actually listen to not just recognize and they be the bad religion one, blink 182, green day, and cat stevens. although this green day song aint that great but in 94 it was so friggin popular theres no way i could not have listened to this album and the 182 one is merely ok, actually all their other cds are much better. cat stevens is just a legend as well as bad religion. my first dmod ever the title song was infeced in midi haha but it was never released.

ok try to get mine im going to try some more punk/emo/hardcore cause thats all i listen to basically. lets see if anyone gets these im sure some will be obvious
