The song retains the name
I must be bored and still awake, because it's lyric quiz time! Most of you know how this works--I choose twenty songs, give you the first line, and then you supply me with the song title and artist. If the song title shows up in the first line, I replace it with [static]. I'm flexible with covers and variants, but I frown disapprovingly upon Googling. And yes, this one also has a theme.
1. Don't want to have you hangin' around me like a leech
2. Something shows in your face--aren't you forgetting yourself?

4. [static] Fell in love once and almost completely MirrorBallMoon
Fell in Love with a Girl (acoustic)--White Stripes
5. Just the thought of our bed makes me crumble like the plaster Corwin77

7. Is Bitter there? I'd rather talk to her than Disappointed. ZDashAmber
Someone is Crazy (And It's You)--Jonathan Coulton
8. He was such a handsome sailor, across the ocean blue

Wave a White Flag--Elvis Costello or Lee Press-On and the Nails
10. I built a ship with my own hands to take us to the moon MariaLuminous
Crazy for You (But Not That Crazy)--Magnetic Fields
11. You can't live with 'em. You can't live without 'em. There's something irresistable-ish about 'em. ZDashAmber

12. I want you to know that I'm happy for you. I wish nothing but the best for you both. MirrorBallMoon
You Oughta Know--Alanis Morrisette or Off the Beat at U Penn

Elvis Costello, Wave a White Flag. But I'm also betting you're also listening to the Lee Presson & the Nails version. :D
no subject
(I'm guessing that LPN is not the Lee you heard it from, but se still has excellent taste. And I *am* playing Alison from MAIT. Um. Unless I'm doing the a capella Alison. I can't recall.)

I have been listening to Portishead a lot recently because that seems like perfect gray and rainy San Francisco music.
