The 15 Game
Now, from the depths of the Internet--sponsored by iPod--we bring you, The 15 Game! (Thanks to this lady, who does webcomics. You can read the rules there. Basically, NO CHEATING, by which I mean, GOOGLING.)
I set my iPod on shuffle and it came up with the following 15 songs; give me the name and artist please!
1. Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down...
2. I got every reason on earth to be mad, 'cause I just lost the only girl I had...
3. She peeled from a stretch black snake that pulled up to the hotel door...
4. Oh, I should've known better with a girl like you, that I would love everything that you do... The Beatles, "I Should Have Known Better"
5. Don't think me unkind; the words are hard to find... The Police, "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da"
6. There is no political solution to our troubled evolution... The Police, "Spirits in the Material World"
7. In and out of shady places, walking through cold corners of the maze...
8. This is an obsession, a kind of aggression with himself...
9. I've been running on diesel, been running on coal, running on borrowed time...
10. Children of the summer's end gathered on the dampened grass...
11. Robame el alma y bebela, embriagate hasta caer, y amame hasta enloquecer... Mana
12.Black and viscous, bound to cure blue lethargy, sugar-plum petroleum of energy... Jethro Tull, "North Sea Oil"
13. The king told the boogeymen "You'd better let that raga drop..." The Clash, "Rock the Casbah"
14. The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call Gitchee Gumee... Gordon Lightfoot, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"
15. It wasn't in the words that kept sticking in their throats, it wasn't with the angels in their quilted coats...

#14 is the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot.
#12 is from Jethro Tull's Stormwatch
#4 is the Beatle's ... er... song... with the title...
#5 is (I think) Bob Dylan's don't think twice
I thought about doing this on my blog but 4 of the songs were instrumental and then 4 were in another language.
You have #4 and #14 correct. Hooray! And #12 is indeed from Stormwatch.
I do have "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" on my iPod, but that is NOT the identity of song #5.
6: Spirits in the Material World The Police
11: I think this is a Mana song, but I can't distinguish the Spanish words to tell you which one!!
12: North Sea Oil Jethro Tull
13: Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (I know that's up there, but it's one I know) Gordon Lightfoot
Well, that's all I can do with any certainty. Other bits suggest more Jethro Tull, but what do I know?
Is there any Bruce Cock-burn?
I need to get Maren to participate; she'll know some of these. And David, and Carina--between those three you can probably get almost all of them.
No Bruce Co-burn, nope.
#13 is the Clash - Rock the Casbah (As I bounce around in my chair singing "shareeeeef don't liiiike it....")
