Thanks squtternutbosh77.

Here is another favourite one of mine, picture from the web

 

---

The sparks fly up into a low sky - Now & Always

---

I am the sudden and quite unexpected twist...

now that was quick

Off you go, your turn now...

---

Haha...well you said it was one of your favs and N&A came to mind right away. Went through the lyrics real quick and there ya go..

 

Alright, next...

---

I am the sudden and quite unexpected twist...

"Debauchery" (Orange street light)

---

"Cars they sound like waves that are breaking / On some distant shore / I gazed so hard into the great aching sky / It seemed that I wasn’t here no more"

Yes indeedio.....that didnt take as long as i thought it could have.

---

I am the sudden and quite unexpected twist...

It still took me a while to think of that one, though.

Here's an easy one:

 

---

"Cars they sound like waves that are breaking / On some distant shore / I gazed so hard into the great aching sky / It seemed that I wasn’t here no more"

And loves a raven when it flies - The Other Side

---

I am the sudden and quite unexpected twist...

I used that one before... this is a different bird. 

---

"Cars they sound like waves that are breaking / On some distant shore / I gazed so hard into the great aching sky / It seemed that I wasn’t here no more"

(though the bird seems to have wings) Ill go with...

Birds without wings - Bird Without Wings

---

I am the sudden and quite unexpected twist...

It does have wings, so "Birds Without Wings" is incorrect.  This bird is very recent.

---

"Cars they sound like waves that are breaking / On some distant shore / I gazed so hard into the great aching sky / It seemed that I wasn’t here no more"

Starlings arent totally black but Ill go with,

Iridescent like a starling - You're The World To Me......?

---

I am the sudden and quite unexpected twist...

Even more recent than that...

---

"Cars they sound like waves that are breaking / On some distant shore / I gazed so hard into the great aching sky / It seemed that I wasn’t here no more"

Ah ha 

Im like a Jackdaw - Jackdaw

---

I am the sudden and quite unexpected twist...

Right you are!  It didn't occur to me until later that while I see jackdaws all the time here in Scotland, I don't believe they live in America.  Raven was close, though, since they're closely related.
