lyrics meme answers

[littlebluedog]

Late last week I posted one-a-those lyrics meme thingies, where I post lyrics and you try to guess the songs. If by some chance you (1) missed it and (2) are dying to impress me with your encyclopedic knowledge of some of the more obscure stuff on my playlist, then by all means have at it!

If you're curious as to the answers for the ones you couldn't figure out, answers are ...
