Music Lyric Meme!

Stolen fromglorious_clio. I have a pretty random selection of songs...

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post a line from the first 30 songs that play.
Step 3: When someone guesses both artist and song correctly, replace the lyrics with his/her name. (If it's a musical, you can name the musical instead of the artist.)
Step 4: Looking the lyrics up on Google or any other search engine is considered CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own!

The only song I know on there is Scattered, but someone beat me to the punch.

I know the vid was taken of youtube, but you can still get it at the guy's website, here:

http://harmony-vids.com/2007/07/02/scattered-tenth-doctor/

There's a download link and an imeem link that still works.
