Lyrics fun? I'm running out of day, but let's get it going!→[More:]
#1 - and I still have that record of Little Anthony & the Imperials
#2 - On a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be...
#3 - I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
#4 - It's okay to look outside, the day it will abide
#5 - Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
#6 - In one, numbers were burning. In another, I witnessed a crime
#7 - And it's true that I stole your lighter, And it's also true that I lost the map
#8 - Space travels in my blood, And there ain't nothing I can do about it
#9 - Big town's got its losers, Small town's got its vices
#10 - From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold

Mr H is correct on both counts! That leaves:

#3 - I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
-----This one is some vintage Joysey rock and roll.
#4 - It's okay to look outside, the day it will abide
-----From one of Paul Westerberg's favourite bands
#6 - In one, numbers were burning. In another, I witnessed a crime
-----Wicked song from a sixties superstar...released in the early eighties
#10 - From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold
-----This guy put out TWO fantastic records in 1979.
