The Good Old Music Game

Here are some lyrics for 10 of the songs I listened to on the way to work today. Can you identify them? No Googling!

1: But you all know I tried
So forget about it, girl
My head’s like a kite
When such a creature I sight.

2: I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I cant seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
- Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town by Pearl Jam

3: You know I didn’t even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night!
- December 1963 by The Four Seasons

4: shes crazy about her daddy
Oh she believes in him
She loves her daddy.

5: Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn’t matter much to me.
(cover version, bonus points for the artist I listened to) - Strawberry Fields, but by whom??

6: I’d bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh
She thought that I was making fun of her
She made me feel I was fourteen again
- Jane by The Barenaked Ladies

7: Life is so boring it’s really got me snoring I’m wearing out the flooring in a cheap motel
But I don’t have to work and I might be sinning but I never have to listen to the rings of school bells

8: I dream of a place that’s hedged with roses
With a man in the middle don’t talk in riddles
You get hung on every single word
Some call it high, some call it low

9: tongue tied and a visceral third degree
feel warm center of gravity
wash us all away
body never lies

10: Xylla was an archetype,
the voodoo queen the queen of rap.
Joan thought men were second best
to masturbating in the bath
. - 88 Lines about 44 Women - but by whom?
