Name the song

heisenbugSongs that have been identified are in purple.
These are MOSTLY the non-instrumental songs that came up first when I put my entire ripped music collection on shuffle. If you read my comment in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flexagon's version of this meme, you know that One Particular Artist kept coming up and it annoyed me (even though I like that particular Artist a lot). I decided to purge those songs, but as I let more songs play, another band started popping up too often, so I just purged a few songs by each one, and also a few others that I thought weren't a good idea. So basically I think I waited while 71 tracks were chosen, of which 40 were immediately disqualified for having no lyrics (or no English lyrics), and 6 were disqualified arbitrarily by me.
Speaking of non-English lyrics, I was kinda hoping that this one would come up, but it didn't:
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt,
Gießt Nachts der Mond in Wogen nieder,
Und eine Springflut überschwemmt
Den stillen Horizont.
So identify that for bonus points.
1.
So I ran faster
But it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned
Like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after Billy
Running after the rain
2.
Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only checks I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
3.
Rose in early morning, as the light came through,
Searching in the ocean, did what he should do,
Seeking not adventure, just a way of life,
Sky above turned grey, wind cut like a knife.
4.
Crystal fountain springing from the hill
It irrigates his soul, you may drink your fill
Water of life carried by
One hand upon the gallon jar
5.
Lost my time, lost my place
In sky blue
There's two blue eyes, like your face
In sky blue
6.
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace.
7.
I'd like to propose a toast.
Here's to the ladies who lunch.
Everybody laugh.
Lounging in their caftans and planning a brunch
On their own behalf.
8.
Zaphod Beeblebrox
He's the guy you want to vote for
When you get into that voting booth
Put an X next to his name.
9.
I got your Force right here
Seen lots of stuff that's queer
But no mystical field that could save my rear
Nonsense, nonsense
It's just simple tricks and nonsense
A blaster's your best defense
Nonsense, nonsense
10.
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
11.
As I stand in the Shower
Singing Opera and such
Pondering the possibility that I
Pull the pud too much
12.
Paralyzed
Lips of ashes
Synchronized
Blue vein crashes
Touching
Touching you
Inside
13.
From here no lines are drawn
From here no lands are owned
13,000 and holding
Swallowed in the purring of her engines
14.
Stepped across the border
One foot after another
Think! Think! Think! Think!
Small steps to elsewhere
To follow the quick light
Knowing what I know
15.
He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
They kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong
16.
Dinner table, chattering glasses
Tell us all we need to know
Like it, lump it, dig it, dump it,
On your late, late show.
17.
Not saying not charmed at all
Not saying that you weren't worth the fall
But I was alone when I knew it was real
Down the canyon, when I knew I had come
18.
I found a picture of you (oh-oh-oh etc.)
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We've been cast out of (oh-oh-oh etc.)
Now we're back in the fight
19.
Mr. Detective, you've been looking too hard
You should've started looking
In your own back yard.
20.
Renegade, come here boy.
There was this kid in our neighborhood
His Pop had named him Renegade
He lived up to his name
With all the trouble that he made
21.
A customer!
Wait! What's your rush, what's your hurry?
You gave me such a fright, I thought you was a ghost.
Half a minute, can't you sit? Sit you down. Sit!
22.
Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
23.
I can't see you mama
But I can hardly wait
Ooh, to touch and to feel you mama
Oh, I just can't keep away
24.
The other ones are complete bullshit.
You want something corny? You got it.
There's a house on my street
And it looks real neat.
I'm the chap who lives in it.
There's a tree on the sidewalk
And a car by the door.
25.
This is the Central Scrutinizer. Meanwhile, Joe hears about Mary's naughty exploits. He falls in with a fast crowd and gets seduced by a girl who works at the Jack-In-The-Box, named Lucille, who gives him an unpronounceable disease.
