Musical monday 4

Guess the songs and theme from the following lyrics

1) I'm living for giving the devil his due

2) If I could only see that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes

3) Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend?

4) And I nearly died from hospitality

5) It's stopped rainin' Everybody's in a play

6) Ain't love a funny thing, one day you're givin' up the dream

7) She's got high-heel shoes and an alligator hat

8) Money talks But it can't sing and dance

9) Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

10) When I smile, tell me some bad news

11) Give me no reasons, give me alibis

12) Can't afford to pass it by, Guaranteed to make you cry

13) Girl you just don't realize what you do to me

14) A long, long time ago, On graduation day

15) You pay for this but they give you that

16) Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list

17) you saw me standing alone, Without a dream in my heart

18) Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,

19) They wouldnt listen to the fact that I was a genius

20) As she spells out regret in perfect time

21) A new day is comin' people are changin'

As someone with the email ID "Blueofnite" (from the Bing Crosby song "Where the Blue of the Night (Meets the Gold of the Day)", I feel I must do well with this theme:

2. Roy Orbison or Linda Ronstadt - "Blue Bayou"
3. Melissa Manchester - "Midnight Blue"
5. ELO - "Mr. Blue Sky"
7. Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels - "Devil With the Blue Dress"
9. Eric Clapton - "Bell Bottom Blues"
10. The Who - "Behind Blue Eyes"
11. Crystal Gayle - "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue"
13. Blue Swede - "Hooked on a Feeling"
14. Bobby Vinton - "Roses are Red (My Love)" [violets are blue]
15. Neil Young - "Rust Never Sleeps" [out of the blue and into the black]
17. multiple artist covers - "Blue Moon"
18. Bob Dylan - "Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again"
19. Jim Croce - "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues"

My section of the visible spectrum brings you:

22. "It's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace"
23. "Acid, booze and ass, needles, guns and grass, lotsa laughs"
24. "If I ain't dead already, girl you know the reason why"
25. "Ain't it hard, ain't it hard, to want somebody who doesn't want you"
26. "She's got a camouflaged face and no money"
27. "Not all good things come to an end now it's only a chosen few"
28. "This is for me the essence of true romance"
