I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time
I could've had that drink - I could've talked a while
I would've done it right - I would've moved us on
But I didn't - now it's all too late
02) My Sweet Prince, Placebo - guessed by

Never thought you’d go break the chain
03) Girl Afraid, The Smiths - guessed bygrapefruitzzz

When you're strange

You just need to achieve something that rings true
06) Dancing Queen, ABBA - guessed bydeadflowerss
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You’re in the mood for dance
And when you get the chance...
07)
and I say your uncle was a crooked French Canadian
and he was gut-shot running gin
and how his guts were all suspended in his fingers
and how he held 'em
how he held 'em, held 'em in
08)
The crowd, they all hailed you and chanted your name
But they never knew like we knew me and you were the same
And now you're all over, your song is so tame
You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name
09) Handbags & Gladrags, Rod Stewart/Stereophonics - guessed bylaura_isaac
They told me you missed school today
So I suggest you just throw them all away
10) Sign o' the Times, Prince - guessed bybogwitch

'Cause I built you a home in my heart,
with rotten wood, it decayed from the start.
14) Desire, U2 - guessed byitsabigrock
Like a preacher stealing hearts at a travelling show
for love of money money money

money money money
15) Say Hello, Wave Goodbye, Soft Cell - guessed byfrimfram

A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going off the rails

Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend
They say that looks don't count for much
And so there goes your proof

So ignore all the codes of the day
Let your juvenile impulses sway
This way and that way and this way and that way
God, how sex implores you
To let yourself lose yourself
18) Tracks Of My Tears - guessed bydeadflowerss
Ooh yeah since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my breakup with you
19)
I'm watching as the gulls all settle down
Upon the empty vessels
The faded whites of their wedding gowns
The songs of hopeless selflessness
20)
What they say,
does it make you feel ashamed?
Isn't everyone the same?
Does it matter that it wasn't your idea?
21)
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà.
Il silenzio che ti fa mio!
Il nome suo nessun saprà!
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir!
22) Eyes Without A Face, Billy Idol - guessed bychantal87

Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.

Say your prayers

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown
24) Last Dance, Donna Summer - guessed bychantal87
Oh I need you, by me,
Beside me, to guide me,
To hold me, to scold me,
'cause when I'm bad
I'm so, so bad
25)
Te parece confundida
Su pasión está escondida
Nunca sabes lo que va a decir
Cuando empieza a sonreír
26) Here, Vast - guessed byitsabigrock and bogwitch*
Where do I put the books?
There's so many I could read
But they all are filled with lies
Where do I put the lies?
There's so many I could say
But it seems they're in the books
*credit given jointly asitsabigrock interpreted having to check the liner notes to remind herself of the song title as breaking the NO LOOKING IT UP!-rule, and suggested I give it to the next person who got it right...but then bogwitch confessed she got it from itsabigrock's clue.
27)
P-p-p-pneumothorax is a word that is long
They're just trying to put some punk back into punctured lung
28)
I was a big ol' bear once (x4)
And I walked away from California
And I walked away from everything that's known
And I walked away from everything I lived for
Only to find that everything had grown
29)
You look down on me
Don't you look down on me now
You don't know me at all
A slap in the face
In the face for you now
Just might do now
30) Boys Keep Swinging, David Bowie - guessed bygrapefruitzzz
When you're a boy

And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me
32) Mack the Knife, Frank Sinatra - guessed byfrimfram
From a tug boat by the river
There's a cement bag just dropping on down
The cement's there just for the weight, dear
Five will get you ten old Mack is back in town

Take my shoes off,
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be two steps on the water.
34) Killer Queen, Queen/Travis - guessed bylaura_isaac
Drop of a hat she's as willing, as playful as a pussycat
Then momentarily out of action, temporarily out of gas
to absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you...
35) Tom's Diner, Suzanne Vega - guessed byitsabigrock
I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of
