First lines meme

While I was folding laundry, ironing and having some coffee (and cookies), I let itunes scramble my 'List of Absolute Favorites' and jotted down every song that came up. Here are the first lines of those songs. If you like you can have a go at guessing which songs by whom.

I've screened comments so everyone who likes to try has a fair chance, no matter the timezone ;)
