Song Lyrics Quiz

[felicity shagwell]

In the tradition of REB's brilliant Serial Killer Quiz comes the inaugural Song Lyrics Quiz. Good luck and no Googling!
Name the song the lyrics came from, and the artist or band who performed them (cover bands named will be accepted although frowned upon!)

12. "...There's a lady who knows, all that glitters is gold..."
13. "...So we've put an end to it this time, I'm no longer yours and you're no longer mine..."
14. "...must I always be waiting, waiting on you, must I always be playin, playin your fool..."
15. "...but I can see you every night, free, I do..."
16. "...I remember when rock was young, me and Suzy had so much fun..."
17. "...people hear you talkin like that getting everybody fired up..."
18. "...See the storm set in your eyes, see the thorn twist in your side, I'll wait for you..."
19. "...If you can't get a girl but your best friend can, it's time to move your body..."
20. "...everybody spread the word, there's gonna be a celebration, all across the world, in every nation"
21. "...All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey, I've been for a walk, on a winter's day..."
22. "...In my imagination, there is no complication, I dream about you all the time..."
23. "...Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?..."
24. "...we're courageous, stronger, faster and respected by our foes..." (note: various artists)
25. "...If I stayed too long, I'd probably break down and cry..."
