I am looking for **Names of Songs**. I will give you a hint to the Name of each Song by posting **a line taken verbatim from that particular song**. It may not be a complete sentence or lyric but it will not be chopped, edited, abbreviated, etc. (I am using three different sites for my source of lyrics.) All songs have appeared in **Billboards Top 100** and **Hot 100** countdown. No obscure songs by obscure bands. EDIT: This time all songs in this quiz have the word “city” in the title. Good luck and have fun! 1. “When you’re down” 2. “Isn’t it a pity” 3. “I don’t know where she came from” 4. “I’m a train when I’m hateful” 5. “Listen to the radio” 6. “The paper bag that holds the bottle” 7. “First I drink, then I smoke” 8. “Love and tenderness and macaroons” 9. “Where the lights are bright” 10. “Checkin’ out the parties” ---
