Random lyrics from my iPod

I jotted these excerpts down yesterday evening (because I'm crazy and was listening to music, cause Wolf Blitzer was getting on my nerves). Consider this a contest with no prize if you want to comment with your guesses/answers as to the titles and artists of the full songs.

1.
"You must really consider the circus;
It just might be your kind of zoo."

2.
"Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown.

"Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone."

3.
"Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam.
Cause sunbeams are not made like me."

4.
"Read between the lines
What's fucked up when everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone."

5.
"Juliet says, 'Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack!'
He's underneath the window, she's singing, 'Hey la, my boyfriend's back.
You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that...
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?'"

6.
"Once I stood to lose her
When I saw what I had done
Bound down and flew away the hours
Of her garden and her sun.

"So I tried to warn her
I turned to see her weep
Forty days and forty nights
And it's still coming down on me."

7.
"The representative from California has the floor:

"Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me."

8.
"Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend."

9.
"Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?"

10.
"Jane says
I never been in love
I don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me."

11.
"Always, I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting
Commiserating.

"Say it ain't so
I will not go
Turn the lights off
Carry me home."

12.
"Sometimes we live no particular way but our own,
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home,
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone,
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own."

13.
"I'm going to find myself a girl
Who can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams."

14.
"I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but it's alright.

"Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

"Shoe is on the hand that fits, that's all there really is to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, but it's alright."

15.
"Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name."
