You were my sun

Taken from a meme that's going around:

Put your mp3 player/itunes/whatever on shuffle, make the first lines of the first twenty songs into a poem, and use the first line of the next song as the title.

You were my sun

You are my angel
I’ve got no strings to hold me down
Tiptoe down
Rumour spreadin’ a-round in that Texas town

Lambeth you’ve never seen
Leave me alone
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Four letter word just to get me along

All through the park past China town gate
I see a bad moon rising
What have we done with innocence?
So you wanna know me now?

Free – is all that she could bleed
Beauty queen of only eighteen
Its all the same, only the names will change
Do you have the time

If I was a rich girl
Will drive you mad
Loving you isn’t the right thing to do
I want to live with the Cinnamon Girl

My story is much too sad to be told
Somebody somewhere turns off the lights
I’m coming out, I’m coming
What are you going to do with all that junk?

Times have changed
Every breath you take
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

I kind of like it particularly this stanza:
All through the park past China town gate
I see a bad moon rising
What have we done with innocence?
So you wanna know me now?
