It's time for a lyrics game. Haven't had one for a while. I made it pretty broad and easy, so I think y'all will get them by lunchtime or so EST. →[More:]

1. I will be buried with my marionettes
2. We'll see the city's ripped backsides
3. My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
4. Right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates
5. Slicing up eyeballs
6. Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
7. You've changed the locks three times / He still comes reeling through the door
8. Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
9. I was on the inside when they pulled the four walls down
10. Black cat cross my path I think every day's gonna be my last

Huh. I wasn't going for a theme, but these seem to kind of go together. Ish.

3 - don't dream it's over - crowded house! I miss those guys. I got to see them twice - man, what a fun live band. An unknown named Sheryl Crow opened one show. She was so bad, I went out to the lobby for a drink. Richard Thompson opened the other time!

6. Tomorrow Never Knows, Beatles

Ah man...it's been ages since I recognized some!
2 - Iggy Pop's The Passenger - one of the world's great riffs.
9 - U2 - I Will Follow. Oh, high school.

Nice one guys (although I think you did get the easiest!)

I was thinking you'd get a couple if you saw them, richat.

I think there is only one more that is pre-90s.

Oh hi I am de-lurking to answer one of these!

5 - Pixies, Debaser

Here's what we still need:

1. I will be buried with my marionettes
4. Right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates
7. You've changed the locks three times / He still comes reeling through the door
8. Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
10. Black cat cross my path I think every day's gonna be my last

10. It's Mississippi Goddam by Nina Simone.

4. Eminem--Love the way you lie

7. Just -- Radiohead

Excellent. So now we are left with

1. I will be buried with my marionettes
8. Your boldness stands alone among the wreck

and I guess a clue might be that I would expect danf to definitely get one, maybe both of these. Also #8 is the most recent song of all of them.

1. Decemberists - Here I Dreamt I was an Architect.

Right in my wheelhouse, gaspode.

The other one, no clue.

Ok then, I'm calling it.

The final song was Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man

Here's the video.

1. The Decemberists - Here I dreamt I was an architect
2. Iggy Pop - The Passenger
3. Crowded House - Don't dream it's over
4. Eminem (feat. Rihanna) - Love the way you lie
5. Pixies - Debaser
6. Beatles - Tomorrow never knows
7. Radiohead - Just
8. Mumford & Sons - Little lion man
9. U2 - I will follow
