Lyrics poetry meme

Via just about everyone at this point...

Put your MP3 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.

(I opted not to maintain the four lines per stanza format)

Up On This Hill In This Uncanny House

Occurred to me the other day
If you should ever leave me
Chow Mein and bowling

I haven't slept for two days
Got my sweet, sweet love

Trust was never meant for me

Sweet is the night of a room window open by candlelight
All I need is a little time
I've got a great idea

The problem of leisure
Gone, she's gone
We're crowded up close
In the warm room

Lives are like retractable pencils
The girls today in society go for classical poetry
So much for the city

Something in your eyes
She's just sixteen years old
Some say that we're reckless

You may tire of me as our December sun is setting
