Let's play a game! Says Aies, to the collective groans of anybody actually reading this…

I was sent this by a shady character known as the virtual octopus (and yes, as far as I know, that is his real name!) the premise? Put your playlist on random and post the first lines of the first thirty songs for other people to guess what song the lines come from. So here's the lines…
