Number 2 is Relax! Yay!

Yup yup yup! I listened to Welcome to the Pleasuredome while doing laundry this morning. What a great album.

1) Don't Get Around Much Anymore, sung by allll sorts of folks!

You are correct! I had Ella Fitzgerald in mind but it's a Duke Ellington song. Here they are together, from 1968.

7. My lonely sad eyes -- Van Morrison

So close, bearwife! I think I know why you identified it that way, too. The singer of the song this lyric is from covers "My Lonely Sad Eyes" on the same album (and I like her version better than the original).

Ah, Maria McKee then.

And "Only Once" is the song. A good one, HJ.

Yes! You Gotta Sin to Get Saved is one of my favorite records of all time.

Thank you for reminding me of Maria McKee.

Okay, hint time:

3. Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker. It's not wise for you to be a foot stool.
4. I was waiting for you as I sat in the sun, I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue.
5. Do the world a service and you could do yourself a favour. Whose tongue now is tasting last week's flavour?
6. Talking is the one thing that you can do best. You told the cavity creeps to watch out for Crest.
8. She doesn't trust him. Nothing is true but he will do.
9. Because somewhere deep down inside someone is saying, "Love doesn't last that long." I got this feelin' inside night and day and now I can't take it no more.
10. I feel the wind -- five six seven, eight nine ten -- begin. I sit on Hills like Lauryn.

I figure I'll come back at lunchtime, in around four hours, and if there are no objections I'll give all the answers, in case anyone's still listening.

I recognise none of these lyrics. When I google a few of them the titles I find don't mean anything to me.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.

As a token of my appreciation, here's a lyrics-free bonus track, from the Sega Dreamcast arcade console game Powerstone II, music from the space elevator section. I love it.

How did I miss 1 and 4? *Slaps self in forehead with heel of hand, destroying still more knowledge forever.*
