Song poem meme

[pfloyd]

Put your media 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.
[Removed instrumentals and doubles]...

================================================

In the Dark of the City Backwoods

It's a strange old game, you learn it slow
Are you gonna take me home tonight?
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Here comes Johnny singing oldies goldies
Meanwhile back in the year one
Sitting on a park bench
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air

I think I'm sophisicated cos I'm living my life like a good homo sapien
Throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here with me
So, so you think you can tell
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

Say your prayers little one
Every drop of rain that falls
My first and last time with you
The minstrel in the gallery

Tuesday, afternoon
Won't you take me back to school
I've been thinking about our fortune
Have you seen Jack in the Green?


(Points to you if you can guess the songs...)

Correct, except for one... the first Tull that you guessed is incorrect
