We haven't had a Friday lyrics challenge in a while. Have at it inside! →[More:]

1. Bought me Alexander McQueen, he was keeping me stylish

2. It's the dirty story of a dirty man

3. What do you do when all your enemies are friends?

4. Put away that gun, this part is simple

5. All your diction, dripping with disdain

6. A medallion locked inside her hand

7. Touch my world with your fingertips

8. I drift along the ocean, dead lifeboat in the sun

9. I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars

10. She was bored of her weight, she was bored of her words

#5 sounds like it could be an Elvis Costello song but I don't recognize it.

let's see... clues?

I'll give you decades.
1 = 2010s
3 = 1990s
5 = 2000s
6 = 2000s
7 = 1980s
8 = 2000s
10 = 2000s

5 is not an Elvis Costello song.

#3 is the foo fighters I think - Monkey Wrench!

Lamentably that's the only one ringing any bells for me.
