Well everyone else is giving out the answers…

Follow-up to The Ultimate Music Song Lyrics Quiz, Part The Second from The random scribblings of a diseased imagination

1) Title and Registration - Death Cab for Cutie
I was searching for some legal document
As the rain beat down on the hood
When i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget

2) No Leaf Clover - Metallica
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way

3) Engine Driver - The Decemberists
And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones

4) These Days - Powderfinger
It’s coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and it’s command

5) Perfect Memory - Remy Zero
So you're back on those treasured days
We were young in a world that was so tired

6) Winter - Joshua Radin
I could have lost myself
In rough blue waters in your eyes,
And I miss you still

7) Girl's Not Grey - A.F.I.
What follows me as the whitest lace of light,
Will swallow whole, just begs to be imbrued?
What follows has led me to this place where I belong with all the erased.

8) Shape of my Heart - Sting
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

9) Come Around - Rhett Miller
I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart

10) Spin - Lifehouse
Everything I know has let me down
So I will just let go
Let you turn me inside out
Cause i know i'm not sure
About anything at all but you wouldn't have it any other way

11) The Everglow - Mae
Make a wish or just take charge.
The moment comes get lost and go far.
I think that we've got what it takes, to get this heart start beating again.
So take it all the way.

12) Brace Yourself - Howie Day
So you think
You can hold the world up by a string
With all that you have

13) Motorcycle Emptiness - Manics
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power
Just like lungs sucking on air
Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

14) Konstantine - Something Coporate
This is because I can spell confusion with a 'K', and I can like it
It's to dying in anothers armsand why I had to try it
It's to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car
When the first star you see may not be a star

15) Blue Eyes - Cary Brothers
Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can

16) Someone - Tammany Hall
And some may run
And some know fear
And some wade in a while and let the murky waters clear
And some just smile

17) Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning) - Vertical Horizon
And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide

18) Angeles - Elliot Smith
Picking up the ticket shows there’s money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble that’s the history of the trade
You add up all the cards left to play

19) Century After Century - Idlewild
I didn't hear cheerleading for creative writers
And your cheekbones don't taste of anything at all
It's on it's way out, it's just an easier way to stay

20) Omaha - Counting Crows
Start threading the needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire
Roll the new life over

I guess I was just too obscure for everyone.
