Some easy ones for a dreary afternoon:

1) Say something once, why say it again?
2) Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
3) Ain't no law against it yet
4) I wanna watch you bleed
5) If looks could kill, they probably will
6) Heroes going cheap these days
7) There is a rose that I want to live for
8) It was all very run of the mill
9) The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
10) I caught you knockin'at my cellar door

I want someone to do an obscure indie bands of Melbourne song lyrics. I'd have a chance at that one. My knowledge of other music fails miserably.

Unless the other music is Nick Cave or Radiohead.
