Musical monday #151

Every week Elie and I switch off hosting Musical Monday. Check out the sesquicentennial (whatever that is) at Elie's. Anyway you know the drill, identify the lyrics, figure out the theme and no Googling. Have fun!

1) And see that twinkle in your eyes
2) The air's electric, sparklin' power, loaded, loaded
3) were gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
4) It was a night with Daddy G.
5) ... 25 dollars and pieces of silver
6) Just another lonely boy in town,
7) ... can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
8) It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day.
9) And I've always been a patient man, but my patience has reached its end
10) Got to get some peace in my mind.
11) Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.
12) Sky rockets in flight.
13) Should I try to do some more
14) No one owns a piece of my time
15) Work day passes like molasses in wintertime, but it's July.
16) Sadly ecstatic, that their heroes are news.
17) Heavenly shades of night are falling
18) When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown,
19) In the room where you do what you don't confess
20) Thoughts they cannot defend,
21) The stars are winkin' above
22) Well I swear we were doin' eighty
23) Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night
24) One more time for all the old times.
25) Shake the town with the windows down

Here are the answers for Musical Monday #149. I thought of the theme as "revenge," but I think that Yitz's "comeuppance" might have been a better answer.

1) He's tearin' you apart, oh every every day
Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin - Journey
2) She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
Goodbye, Earl - Dixie Chicks
3) It's only when your poison spreads

6) They found him underneath a train

7) She said "Home, James," and he hit the gas
Dark Lady - Cher
8) sit down I got some bad news that's gonna hurt
The night the lights went out in Georgia - Vicki Lawrence, Reba McEntire
9) When I first found out I hurt all over
Angel in your arms - Hot
10) Johnny jumped up and he hit him,
Judy's turn to cry - Lesley Gore
11) It's time for a few small repairs she said
Sunny came home - Shawn Colvin
12) Everything you own in the box to the left
Irreplaceable - Beyonce
13) Right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink
Before he cheats - Carrie Underwood
14) Patty Hearst heard the burst

16) Ha! I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
These boots are made for walking - Nancy Sinatra
17) A Siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb - Rolling Stones
18) With the wife of a jealous man
Bad bad Leroy Brown - Jim Croce

Just a guess, but is #15 "It's 5:00 Somewhere"? If so, it's by Jimmy Buffett and a country singer, but I don't know who.

18 must be another Moody Blues song from the "Days of Future Passed" album.

No hint for #23? :)

I believe The Mamas and the Papas have a specific-time-of-day song.
