“…movie or a measure? I’ll have a cup of tea…”
Just to consolidate the unsolved into one post (And renumbering to avoid ahalf dozen 11’s):

Dreaming - Blondie
A1: Why don’t you split the squares and love me instead?
Frankie Valli - My Eyes Adored You
Steve Miller Band - Swingtown
Did I get this one wrong? I very probably did, and I might have been thinking of another song.
Be back in a moment with new clues.
Er… I suppose I should make a more official guess at U11: Phish - Esther (I think).
My new clues:
“with next-door’s school every term, that is the rule”
“seem to get from me but just like a child”
“I only know what to discuss of for anything but”
Well , WTH? I’ll toss a few out there:
“…the winter looked the same as if it never had…”
“…and the first thing that I saw was a rainbow…”
“…died for somebody’s sins but not mine! Melting in…”
“…lying in the grass and she could hear the highway…”
I’ve Been In Love Before - Cutting Crew
I’ll throw in: When all faith is gone, I fight myself to carry…
And She Was – Talking Heads
And mine:
“…anger, I know your dreams. I’ve been everything you want…”
No answers, but more:
“…to be in England in the summertime with my love…”
“…like a sportscar, God I want you, like a fuel…”
“…the years went by, the times had changed, I grew…”
“…oh, he blew his lines facing the camera, he suffered…”
“…I didn’t notice but it had got very dark and…”
Thank you 42fish.
I kinda like the numbering convention started by— I don’t remember-- where everybody numbers their own with an initial. It’s easier to keep track. I was going to suggest this in the OP, but it seemed like hubris to think there’d be a bunch of replies.
Like this:
If Mr. Blue Sky adds another clue, it would be numbered MBS9. Mine would be BG5.
Sounds good?
FG9Hyperactive— Thomas Dolby.

A2: on fire don’t touch me I’m a real live wire
Dammit! I meant to include the clue:
Semaphore out on the floor messages from outer space deep
A2:on fire don’t touch me I’m a real live wire
Talking Heads’ Psyco Killer kiss kiss say.
Please don’t correct me. I know it’s French.
Hey, Biggirl? It’s French. 
I wouldn’t dream of correcting you. I’m just pleased someone responded to my submission. Mercy buckets.
Holy Shit! I’ve done gone made a smilie. Kill me now.
I’m thinking this is Joni Mitchell’s “Chelsea Morning,” but it’s not quite the way I remember it. Here’s what I recall:
Woke up, it was a Chelsea Morning, and the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains and a rainbow on the wall…"
Of course, it could be something else entirely, too, in which case, I’ll do an imitation of Emily Latella: “Never mind.”
Aside to Biggirl: I always liked these lyric games of yours. Thanks for starting another one!
ooh! ooh! “Gloria” by Patti Smith.
(what an awesome song!)
