Lyric quiz

No iPod war today, but a lyrics quiz will do nicely.

1. To escape, you must have been brave / it was a frightening case / where somebody chased you to the same place / where your eyes close / in the same haze Aloha, "You've Escaped" tiburon_y_oso

2. Time to live / time to lie / time to laugh / time to die

3. Don't tell me you don't know what love is / when you're old enough to know better / when you find strange hands in your sweater / when your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote Elvis Costello, "Everyday I Write The Book" guessed simultaneously by blergeatkitty and nounsandverbs

4. I keep looking for a place to fit in / where I can speak my mind / and I've been trying hard to find the people that I won't leave behind The Beach Boys, "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" (not guessed by nothinganything)

5. While you're greeted with tokens and stamps / underneath the fake oil burnin' lamps / in the city we forgot to name / well the concourse is a for-real shame

6. you crazy babe bathsheba, i wancha / you're suffocating you need a good shed The Pixies, "Dead" mgrasso

7. Took a sad song of one sweet evening / I smile and quickly turn away / It's not easy / singing sad songs / But still the easiest way I have to say

8. 'Twas in another lifetime / one of toil and blood / when blackness was a virtue / and the road was full of mud

9. There's a whisper I would like to breathe into your ear but I'm too scared to get that close to you right now

10. She came in, smelling of cabbages / pumpkin roots and all winter's ravages / she came in around dawn / took her coat off / buttoned down by the Russian winter

Correct answers here.
