Just another former infatuation junkie

It’s a day late, but I figure – Hey! I don’t have enough readers to pull this off, anyway, so I might as well try it.

Thud and Fred have been playing this game. Instead of 10 random songs, here are 10 lines from songs in my music collection. If you know the artist and song, post it in a comment. And don’t Google the lyrics, durnit – the only person you’re cheating is yourself.

Edit: Answers posted.
