Music Quiz: Name that girl!

[swansont]

Name the song and band from these lyrics. All answers will have something to do with a female (a specific one, or female(s) in general). And since I'm not a teenager or recently in college, these songs are from last century.

 

1. She's fashionably lean, and she's fashionably late

2. You'll see us together, chasing the moonlight

3. You could say she was attractively built

4. She's got a daughter and you're just not coping

5. Thursday night your stockings needed mending.

6. You've got your nuclear boots

7. Smiling Jack is driving by

8. There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder

9. Her hair is kinda wild and free

10. So she fills up her sails with my wasted breath.

11. All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by.

12. She'll take a tumble on you. Roll you like you were dice

13. She's your adolescent dream.

14. Only boys who save their pennies make my rainy day

15. This world is forcing me to hold your hand

16. Well that's one way to lose these walking blues

17. She's a sad tomato.

18. When we walk, it seems like paradise.

19. I got up to wash my face. When I come back to bed, someone's taken my place

20. I saw a girl there she was out of sight. I asked a friend of mine who she could be

 

 

I'll give the answers in a separate post to reduce temptation. And this is meant as a quiz, not a test of your Google-fu.

One for you Swansont, old last century band too (still making music though), "Who cast his spell of love and got a woman from a child?" Literally my favorite song and band of all time!
