teleidoplexI dunno if anyone is still interested, but...
1. Strut, sir!
What, sir?
Roosters do.
Give a cock his comb and the hens will pale.
Bucks, Bulls!
More, Sir!
Boars, sir! Rams!
Of the nanny-goat and billy, sir,
whose beard is fully wooly, sir?
It's bully for the billy
for he's willy-nilly male!
"The Creation of Man", from The Scarlett Pimpernell (Frank Wildhorn & Nan Knighton)
2. I swore I'd love you til the end of time
so now I'm waiting for the end of time
to hurry up and arrive
cause if I have to spend another minute with you
I don't think that I could really survive.
"Paradise by the Dashboard Light", by Meatloaf (Bat out of Hell)
squishymeister recognized it, which is impressive cause I kinda thought only the old fogies would, but ellegua is the one who actually got it
3. Stupidcarelessfictionalnonsensicalverboseness
"Mary Poppins", from Forbidden Hollywood (Gerard Alessandrini)
4. My life flows on in endless song
above earth's lamentations
I hear the real, though faroff hymm
that hails the new creation
above the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing
it sounds an echo in my soul
"How Can I Keep from Singing?", Trad. Spiritual (Enya does a version)
5. The rape by coach is little in request
the rape by day, but the rape by night is best
"Rape", from The Fantasticks (Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones)
Moonandserpent got it
6. You know what you're in the mood to find
you've got the power to make it come true
the most exciting you
A little girl until the end of time
but when you smile, red rose, it's just like blue sunshine
we're ascending and we'll never die
cause when we kiss, red rose, we're changing six to nine
it's revolution time
"Red Rose", by Alphaville (Afternoons in Utopia)
7. In the desert of my dreams I saw you there
walking towards the water, steaming body cold and bare
but your words cut loose the fire and you melt my soul to bleed
the pain that's in your truth's deceiving me has got me scared
"Vox", by Sarah McLachlan (Touch)
drydem got it
8. I do not read to think
I do not read to learn
I do not read to search for truth
I know the truth
the truth is hardly what I need
I read to dream
I read to live
in other people's lives
"Fosca's Song", from Passion (Stephen Sondheim)
9. I brush away
the flaming hair across your cheek
to see these eyes
that lit my life now they're cold and dark and gone
with your smile
I'll cross this hopeless line
but don't waste time
"It's Your Life", by Milla (The Diving Comedy)
10. fading is the tapered waist
shapeless grows the shapely limb
and although severely laced
spreading is the figure trim
stouter than I used to be
still more corpulent grow I
there will be too much of me
in the coming by and by
"Silvered is the Raven Hair", from Patience (Gilbert & Sullivan)
11. Now I will tell the story of a thousand nights...
"Transformation and Immortality", by Govinda (O Earthly Gods)
Between them, ellegua and bneuensc got it
12. You shine where you stand
and the more I think on you the more I think long
if I had you now as I had once before
all the lords in old England
"Bonny Portmore", Trad. Folksong (Loreena McKennitt does a version)
13. Oh I watched her dance upon the hill
and I lived before her song
and she never dreamed I waited here
so silent and so long
but her golden hair did strike me down
and her green eyes stuck me blind
and the thought I'll ne'er see her again
it's torturing my mind
"The Borderlands", by Kate Price (Belaich an Dorain)
14. You bored me with your stories
I can't believe that I endured you for as long as I did
I'm happy it's over
I'm only sorry that I didn't make the move before you
and when you go I will remember
to send a thank-you note to that girl
"I Never Really Loved you Anyways", by The Corrs (Best of the Corrs)
15. Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
my compass, faith in love's perfection
I missed a million miles of road I should have seen.
"Love's Recovery", by the Indigo Girls (Indigo Girls)
drydem got it
16. You ask so many questions, what answer should I choose
is this really Butte, Montana
"Existential Blues", by T-Bone (Best of Dr. Demento, the 80's)
17. Pretty looking road I try to hold
the rising floods that fill my skin
Don’t ask me why I’ll keep my promise I’ll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance, so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
"Save a Prayer", by Duran Duran (Decade)
moonandserpent got it
18. Still I always feel
the strange estrangement
nothing here is real
nothing here is right
I've been making shows of trading blows
"Going Through the Motions", from Once More with Feeling - the Buffy Musical (Joss Wheedon)
selenya got it
19. As I waulked out by Fiddichside
all on a may mornin

and hour before the dawning
turn again, turn again
turn again I bid ye

20. While goin the road to sweet Athy
A stick in my hand, a tear in my eye
a doleful damsel I heard cry
"Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye", Trad. Folksong (Capercaille does a version)
All told, not as many people got things as I thought. My musical tastes must be more obscure than I realized (or jen just didn't get around to reading the post. She was my musical ace in the hole)
