Well, it only took three attempts, but finally I got this up

Step 1: Put your MP3 player on random.
Step 2: Post the 1st line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. And it doesn't have to be perfect if you can't understand the lyrics word for word.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Identify the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating, so don't

1:
Feels like you’re miles from here
In other towns with even lesser names.
Where the unholy ghost doesn’t tell
Mary or William exactly what they want to hear

2: 4am: Our Lady Peace
I walked around my good intentions
And found that there were none
I blamed my father for the wasted years
We hardly talked, never thought I would forget this hate

3:
That’s great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane – Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of the hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.

4:
You say that we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we’re falling apart

5: Holiday From Real: Jack's Mannequin
She thinks I’m much too thin she asks me if I’m sick
What’s a girl to do with friends like this?
She lets me drive her car so I can score an eighth
From the lesbians out west in Venice

6: One Week: Barenaked Ladies
It’s been One week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said “I’m angry”
Five days since you laughed at me saying
"Get that together come back and see me"

7: Awakening: Switchfoot
Face down with the LA curbside endings
And the ones and zeroes
Downtown was a perfect place to hide.

8: (You gotta tell me both artists) Under Pressure: Queen/David Bowie
(Scatting)
Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure, that burns a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets.

9:
You’re a falling star, you’re the getaway car
You’re the line in the sand when I go too far
You’re the swimming pool on an August day
And you’re the perfect thing to say.

10: Wonderwall: Oasis
Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now, you should have some how realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now.

11: Swim: Jack's Mannequinn
You've gotta swim, swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive

12:
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In a pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette

13: (I’ll be impressed if anyone gets it)
The king's taken back the throne
The useless seed is sown
When they say they're cutting off the phone
I'll tell 'em you're not home

14: Equally Skilled: Jon Foreman
How miserable I am
I feel like a fruit picker who arrived here after the harvest
There's nothing here at all
There's nothin at all here that could placate my hunger

15: (Best of luck)
I got the horse right here
The name is Paul Revere
And here's a guy that says if the weather's clear
Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do

16: Brand New Day: Joss Whedon (writer)/Neil Patrick Harris (performer)
This appeared as a moral dilemma
‘Cause it’s weird though I swore to eliminate
The worst of the plague that devoured humanity
It’s true, I was vague on the how, so how can it be that you
Have shown me the light.

17: Innocent: Our Lady Peace
Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With the Leonard and the Cobain and
A guitar and a stereo

18:
It’s a long way from Miami to LA
It’s a longer way from yesterday to where I am today
It’s a long way from my fostering I say
It’s a long long way from paradise to where I am today

19: (Good luck)
I'm serving time, all for a crime I did commit
You want the truth?
You know I'd do it all again, left for dead
Heaven is only in my head!

20: Made For Each Other Pt.1, Made for Each Other: Jack's Mannequinn
I swim across an ocean; It's my mattress in the basement
I'm sweatin' out excuses that would make your stomach turn
The road we drove last night stretched from the desert to Las Vegas
We filled our cups, and lit one up then the snow began to burn

21: (Ha, LOL) Snake Eater: Cynthia Harrell
What a thrill
With darkness and silence through the night.
What a thrill

22:
The trouble with schools is:
They always try to teach the wrong lessons
Believe me
I’ve been kicked out of enough of them to know

23:
A modern day warrior
Mean mean stride
Today’s Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.

24: Easier than Love: Switchfoot
Sex is currency
She sells cars, she sells magazines
Addictive, bittersweet, clap your hands
With the hopeless nicotines.

25:
I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous, and I can’t relax
I can’t sleep ‘cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire

26:
I’m comin’ out of my cage and I’ve been doin’ just fine
Gotta gotta get down ‘cause I want it all
It started out as a kiss, how did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss.

27: Stare at the Sun: Thrice
Sit here clutching useless lists,
Keys for doors that don't exist
I crack my teeth on pearls

28:
I don’t know you, but I want you
All the more for that.
Words fall through me, and always fool me
And I can’t react

29: Best of You: Foo Fighters
I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

30:
Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on
When I sit alone come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time
