Trampled Rose, I believe.

[identity profile] elanya.livejournal.com 2006-12-04 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed! :)

[identity profile] elanya.livejournal.com 2006-12-04 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)

19. Wave like a swarm of sound
The Faint! The Conductor!

And #22 sounds like a Zoidberg quote ;)

[identity profile] elanya.livejournal.com 2006-12-04 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

And I suppose... it is actually Peter Sellers though. It's kind of a trick lyric :o

[identity profile] longpig.livejournal.com 2006-12-04 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
8 - The Devil's Been Busy in your backyard (Traveling Wilburys)
12 - Anthem (Leonard Cohen)
18 - Sylvia (Pulp)
19 - The COnductor (The Faint)
22 - Naughty Sailor's Alphabet (Fairport Convention)

I know 24 but I can't place it...

Also I guessed these without looking at any answers you hadn't already posted, so if someone posted them in comments above me... d'oh.

Yes, yes but guess by Mary, right band but wrong song, yes but guessed by [livejournal.com profile] insertfancyname, and you're on the right track!

[identity profile] longpig.livejournal.com 2006-12-04 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm retarded, I meant to type 'Like A Friend' but it came out 'Sylvia.'

[identity profile] elanya.livejournal.com 2006-12-04 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
