Name that tune

I have decided to be a follower and play the "name these songs that I generated by hitting shuffle on my iPod" game. As my own unique twist, I decided to forget about it first, and then a month or two later find the list I'd begun! Anyway, like many before me, I skipped any repeats from the same artist. And, um, instrumental tracks. Guess away! (Oh, and duh, but no Google cheating.) I'm thinking Gina will be quite successful...

1. "Just someone to hold, that's what you give me"
2. "Breathe, keep breathing, don't lose your nerve"
3. "It's a turf war on a global scale"
4. "She met my father at a fête in Aix-en-Provence"
5. "And it's not funny like on TV, and it's not smart like it is in books"
6. "The vanity formed by beauty lies, you know it's a crime"
7. "I'm still waiting for a sign that describes how it's all gonna end"
8. "Hey everybody, let's have some fun! You only live but once, and when you're dead you're done"
9. "And I, like a firework, explode"
10. "Cross yourself, by Jesus, now your head is all a blur"
11. "We've got shackles to keep the laws, made by men who bought and sold themselves"
12. "She pulls her hair back the same way I've seen you do"
13. "I gotta get mine in a big black truck, you can get yours in a '64"
14. "You can say the sun is shining if you really want to, I can see the moon and it seems so clear"
15. "I need twice as much space and half as many things"
16. "I'm the screen, the blinding light, I'm the screen, I work at night"
17. "Can't pay for rent again, these spiderwebs are my home now"
18. "Another lover's day, another cracked up night"
19. "Bring me a team of replacements just in case the place that I'm taking's my own"
20. "I hope you might come back, in your own time, left to your own devices"
