Musical monday #105

Elie and alternate hosting Musical Mondays.
You know the drill, guess which songs the lyrics are to and figure out the theme. No googling, but if you think you have the CD, feel free to listen. Check back later today for the answers to Musical Monday #104 at Elie's.

1) Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock
2) Spinning room is sinking deep
3) I want to just end these lonely hours
4) And no one had the guts to leave the temple!
5) The night is hot and black as ink
6) An ocean of violets in bloom
7) High on crack, totin a machine gun
8) Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
9) I don't know how you were inverted no one alerted you
10) Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
11) Once I was strong but I lost the fight. You won't find a better loser.
12) Ninety miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive
13) And make me burn the candle right down,
14) For there's Basie, Miller, Satchmo
15) Intense silence, aAs she walked in the room
16) My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
17) I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
18) My hands felt just like two balloons.
19) I take for granted that you just don't care
20) We can make it shine, we can take forever
21) Conventionality belongs to yesterday
22) I got a union card and a wedding coat
23) turn up the old Victrola
24) When someone drops a cop and I submerge
25) I came in here for that special offer, a guaranteed personality
26) The all-night watchmen have had their fun.
27) They'll stone you and then say you are brave.
28) Still glow upon the wall so bright burning burning burning
29) Scarlet fleece changes you
30) Everything you do is irresistible

Obscurity isn't bad. It is fun guessing one that nobody else is going to guess or figuring out a hard-to-guess theme.
