Not done one of these for quite some time so here are an easy 10 to get things started :)

Name the Artist and the song - Number 10 think out of the box, I want the artist who did the cover not too many years ago.

1 -
I was alone, staring over the ledge,
Tyring my best not to forget,
All manner of joy, all manner of glee,
And our one heroic pledge.
2 -
Take me home tonight
take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
and in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
but then a strange fear gripped me
and I just couldn't ask
3-
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
4 -
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
5 -
You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
and you know just what it takes and where to go.
6 -
I am the man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
7 -
Well I got the notion girl that
You got some sun tan lotion in that bottle of yours
Spread it all over my peeling skin baby
That feels real good
All this skirt
Lapping up the sun
Lap me up
8-
All across the town, all across the night
Everybody's driving with full headlights
Black or white turn it on, face the new religion
Everybody's sitting 'round watching television!
9 -
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

10-
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like i do, and i blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

4 - Guns n Roses - Sweet Chilc o' Mine
5 - Duran Duran - Save A Prayer
6 - Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark, not a track I expected from you Sam

I know I know more of those but that's a reasonable start

Yep, 7 is Peaches by the Stranglers.

9 does sound like a James song but it's not Sit Down I don't think, can't get a tune in my head to go with the words but that undertowpart made me think it was James too.
