1. Not a lot of ladies drive an open-top Mercedes...
2.At the top of the stairs there's hundreds of people...
3. Believe it or not, I've been there too...
4. Life, mysterious life, where we're moving around, dancing the rhythm of life...
5. Sunlight sneaks around the edges of the window...
6.Dirty white caravans...
7.If I listened long enough to you...
8.Pretty girl on every corner, sunshine turns the sky to gold...
9. The Conservative MP for Spelthorne, Surrey...
10. Orgasm has become the most mystified state of feeling...
11. In the place they call Silicon Valley...
12. The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight...
12a. Oh, Mercury, shootin' through every degree...
14.Wiry Twerp, Wiry Twerp, long may his memories remain...
15.Lonely, unmarried, looking for love, life was passing me by...
16.Sweet lady mine, my loving and my life...
17.Well, friends, hereby hangs a tale...
18. Lovely to know the warmth your smile can bring to me...
19.Waking up one morning I saw smoke against the sky...
20. When I feel I'm overreacting and I'm trying too hard...
21. Somewhere in the darkness there's a man they call the Skipper...
22.September '77. Port Elizabeth, weather fine...
23. At the edge of the world, the sun pouring down...
24.One man on a lonely platform, one case sitting by his side...
25.It's a hard life, never let yourself get down...
26.Oh my dear how boring, he's defecting...
27. We come down here with our boots on our feet...
28. Is there no sign of light, as we stand in the darkness...
29.I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears...
30.Just like his old father before him, who served in the Great War would sing...
EDIT: sorry one comment got through before I remembered to do the screening thing. You're all too quick for me, I tell you.
FURTHER EDIT: italicised entries have been partially identified, while those that have been crossed out have been got completely. I'll leave it another day or so before I unveil the answers and credit the, erm, winners. :)

Date: 2008-10-17 03:46 pm (UTC)But 12 is only italicized, so I'll guess that it's the "Lincoln Park Pirates" by Steve Goodman.
