Eth's top 105 of 2005- yep, another guessing game

[Mega248]

I've decided to do all lyrics this year, in part because I've hosted two top 100 guessing games now (one here and one at Pulse) and I'm kind of burned out when it comes to thinking up original clues. There are at least several I'll most likely end up having to provide additional clues for though.

105. "now it's up to me, to bow out gracefully"
Hall & Oates- "I'll Be Around" (mtm4319)

104. "lift the roof off your soul"
311- "Speak Easy" (czarina)

103. "I just don't know"
The Killers- "Somebody Told Me" (czarina)

102. "I blew him before you"
Franz Ferdinand- "Do You Want To" (friday)

101. "something felt so wrong"
Kelly Clarkson- "Breakaway" (radical347)

100. "in the silence of the sea"
Coldplay- "Talk" (czarina)

99. "I never knew we'd ever"
Nickelback- "Photograph" (mtm4319)

98. "same sweet passion, same warm blood"
Hootie & The Blowfish- "One Love" (Jeffster)

97. "ego trips is not my thing"
Britney Spears- "My Prerogative" (BlahBlahBlah)

96. "colorful clothing in the sun"
Audioslave- "Doesn't Remind Me" (mtm4319)

95. "so lift those heavy eyelids"
The Arcade Fire- "Rebellion (Lies)" (mtm4319)

94. "don't mean to sound impatient"
Lil' Jon f/ Usher & Ludacris- "Lovers & Friends" (BlahBlahBlah)

93. "no one you can trust"
Weezer- "We Are All On Drugs" (halo19)

Friday, Sunny, Matt and halo's guesses are all correct. Also, Jeffster got #98, and as much as I'd love to give him credit for trying so hard on his other four guesses, I can't.

Yes.

[Mega248]

That'd be correct.

103-Killers-Somebody Told Me

[czarina]

100-Coldplay-Talk

[Mega248]

100-Coldplay-Talk

Both correct.

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to get "Somebody Told Me", though the song being more 2004 than 2005 may have had something to do with that.

94. Lovers And Friends - Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz featuring Usher & Ludacris

Whew, good thing you didn't put the lyrics from Lil Jon's verse, or else I definitely wouldn't recognize it!

Correct.

The only version I ever hear/listen to is sans Lil' Jon, so I probably couldn't have come up with a lyric from Lil' Jon's verse (without the help of Google, that is) if my life depended on it anyway.

The next set of clues will hopefully be up sometime tomorrow afternoon, regardless of whether or not #104 has been guessed by then.

[Mega248]

Alright, here's another lyric expansion for #104:

88. "I'm forced to fake a smile"
Kelly Clarkson- "Because of You" (Slinky)

Got it.

[mtm4319]

I'll just throw out a guess for #81 of Keane - "Everybody's Changing". I don't think it's right though.
