First lines (music) meme

Seen all over the place. Here are the rules I'm using:

Put your music player on random.
Post the first line from the first 32 songs that play. (Except songs with no lyrics and songs with words from the song title as the first line. Also, I included only one song per artist.)
Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Strikethru the songs when someone guesses correctly.

1. Well it's Friday night and I need a fight
2. You burden me with your questions
3. A lonely soul was I without direction
4. Hey farmer, you been livin' here all your life?
5. Take me to the sunspot, now I wanna go home
6. Do I know you from somewhere?
7. Shout if you will, but that just won't do.
8. When I was a young boy I tried to listen
9. Well, I'm dressed up so nice
10. Like weeds on a rockface waiting for the scythe
11. Nothing that you say will release you
12. Davenports and kettle drums
13. There's something I want to tell you
14. Peter, a friend of mine just committed suicide
15. Sail ho heave ho come on let go
16. You'd better make your face up in your favorite disguise
17. Well the mountain was so beautiful
18. Esa mujer me está matando
19. Before I went to jail when I was sayin' that I was free
20. Hey man, oh leave me alone you know
21. When you hear this sound a-comin'
22. She brings me water sweeter than wine
23. Don't sleep 'til the sunrise
24. Gotta get back, gotta figure out a way
25. No one knows where she comes from
26. Creme tangerine and Montélimar
27. I've been to London, seen seven wonders
28. You're driving, and it's dark, and it's raining
29. She does not know her beauty
30. Baby we can talk all night

32. "Right Here Right Now" by Jesus Jones. I've actually decided that this song annoys me, so maybe I should get rid of the CD. ("watching the world wake up from history"? please. you are not smarter or better than the millions of humans who preceded you.)

I have to say...I'm impressed...your music collection is just as diverse as mine...maybe even more so in some ways.
