Guess away, my pretties. All first lines, and I skipped over non-english songs, and also songs that I'd never heard before and wouldn't have been able to guess myself, haha.

1. All the boys, voices cracking
2. There is a place for me, far far away
3. I am the son
4. Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
5. diary, of a mad man
6. I'm so tired of playing
7. Next day, far from home, the brothers planned their repulsive crime
8. OK, when the doctor started using words like "you'll pass away"
9. When it bends, you try to walk a straight line
10. They got the mustard out!
11. I know it's morning, and that you need to go
12. A love-struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
13. Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs
14. When I was a movie star an asteroid had hit the earth and prematurely ended my career.
15. Starched white shirts, so neatly pressed
16. Looking for answers to questions never posed
17. Six numbers, one more to dial
18. Whose eyes am I behind?
19. See the curtains hanging in the window
20. I love myself, I want you to love me

this is me, procrastinating on sleep and studying.

4 is something by coldplay, perhaps...other than that, epic fail. my musical education clearly has huge swathes missing.

4=the scientist!!! (yes, coldplay)
12=romeo&juliet (hopefully the dire straits version, but possibly the indigo girls cover)

i can't tell you the name of #3, but i know i will have it stuck in my head for the rest of the day, so thanks for that :-P (charmed was one of my favorite shows for a while)
#10 is, ironically, they got the mustard out, from once more with feeling (aka the buffy musical)
#12 is Romeo and Juliet, and the version i know is done by the indigo girls, i know it's done by someone else, i'm just not sure who

7 is from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat! But while I could probably sing the whole thing no problem, I have no idea what the title is :P

Pretty sure 4 is the Scientist by Coldplay

I know I have a SV vid saved with the song from 18 but again no idea what it's called.

Aaand 20 is I Touch Myself, by the Divynls

2. JLC - B-13!!!!!!!
12. Dire Straits (or some cover) - Romeo & Juliet
17. Man on the Side - I'm going to guess it's the John Mayer version, even though the Clay Cook version is 100x better)
20. Divynls - Touch Myself (which is >>>>> any cover version)
