Guess The Lyrics Game

[Cactus Drags]

9) "Navesink Banks" by The Gaslight Anthem (what are the odds?)

Was it in someone else's then? I only read the last page.

[YI]

Yeah, it was on mine (the one that re-bumped the thread).

1) "Got your rhymes going round in my head, got your supersonic beats mixing up my Keds."

2) "Well I got what she wants. Ah her nose, a tied knot."

3) "In a haze, a stormy haze. I'll be round, I'll be loving you always, always."

4) "I seem to think I think I got a little situation." ("Salute Your Solution" by The Raconteurs - Jack_Attack)

5) "She goes away today, he gives her a photo to help her remember."

6) "When darkness folds across this old sky, yes I'll open up for you that night."

7) "Where, oh where, have you been, my love?"

8) "Tore it up and walked away, why'd you wanna go do that for?"

9) "Can you see it's full of lightning, all the futures that I see are whitening."

10) "Helping the kids out of their coats, but wait the babies haven't been born." ("Mushaboom" by Feist - YI)

Clues

1) "One-hit wonder" Australian rock band singing about rotating music purveyors...

2) Album track from one of the crazily popular (except in the US) American arena-rock band's albums during the "what now?" years.

3) Title track from one of the most-maligned British bands of the modern era's debut album.

5) A single from a Sheffield-based band's (of preachers?) debut album - ska-tinged with a repetitive chorus.

6) British indie quartet from the mid-90s - links to Mendel - like the Smiths, only with more songs about athletes (I'll take the artist on this one.)

7) Opening track from this American-based metal band's second album - change of pace from their usual flow, if you will.

8) Southampton-based indie band from the 2000s...they love their falsettos. Song's on their debut album...took a while to come out.

9) Album track from this OTT Australian band's self-titled debut studio album - took us on a trip down the Nile for this one.

Sorry about the nature of some of the clues - I have definitely done too many crap cryptic crosswords in my lifetime. Hope they help to a degree though.
