Verbose song lyrics

[Biffy_the_Elephant_Shrew]

It would have been a fine thing for you to witness my association with the gent who is adept at such games as five-card draw. The assortment of cards I had been dealt was so auspicious it could be compared to the sugary secretions of Apis mellifera, so I wagered extravagantly: a thousand currency units! With not a moment to lose, I cheated by peeking at my opponent’s cards.

I request the identity of that African-American investigative professional whose ability in matters carnal recalls the tirelessness of an automaton, something experienced universally among the distaff gender.

a. It is a requisite to be aware of the temporal appropriateness of manual retention, of origami, of ambulatory departure, and of sprinting. At no time is it advisable to verify your cash balance while seated antemensally; an adequate period for doing so is scheduled following the conclusion of transactions.

b. The oldest of British coins located in a small fluvial body, the discarded photosynthetic organs of Platanus occidentalis, that portion of solar glare reflected onto the Green Mountain State by the lunar albedo.

I have just completed my secondary education in its entirety
It would seem that I am very, very popular
I am compelled to move to rythyms not unlike a harlequin
There is a communiqué stating
That my desires include being an uncontrolled individual
Affirmative, I am an uncontrolled individual

It is imperitive that I fracture an object to disengage its tightness
It is imperitive that I continue uncontolled locomotion
It is imperitive that I continue moving an object to and fro, infant
It is true that I am an uncontrolled preteen

I had to look this up a bit.
Pennies in a stream, falling leaves, a sycamore tree. Moonlight in Vermont

@Spoons

Let’s try some short, but familiar, lyrics:

(a) That is not employment; that is the manner in which you are employed…

It Ain’t What You Do, It’s The Way That You Do It. - By, well, various artists, but the version I most remember is by The Fun Boy Three With Bananarama.

Correct.

Still outstanding (In several ways if I do say so myself ;))

Shift the focus of your organs of ocular perception toward the organs used for percieving photons of a specific wavelength band belonging to your interlocutor. After you have accomplished this, you will be able to percieve which specific ontological entity is effected in said interlocutor. For when people wish to refer to the entity with whom you are speaking, they use a word derived, appropriately enough, from an ancient word used to denote an entity who customarily transports a device used for emanating such photons. If the person to whom I am speaking shall grant my request, that person shall maneouvre their appendage commonly used in the great apes and their close relatives for finely manipulating objects so that it may touch that same appendage which can be found on their interlocutor.

Hint:

early heavy metal

c. O namesake of Mrs. C.S. Lewis whose native land is that portion of the underworld reserved for the heroic and virtuous: drunkenly we enter the conflagration, your celestial chancel!

Noting that this one remains unsolved.

[Enginerd]

An die Freude (Ode to Joy) - Friedrich Schiller

I believe these are also outstanding:

@Enginerd

These days, numerous dimestore criminals engage in negotiations and finalize an agreement with their surroundings, ultimately remunerating somebody in installments for either a settee or a young woman. With invocations of strong human emotions inked into the dermis of his phalanges, he must abuse his own children due to their lack of comprehension that the motto of the Queen’s Royal Lancers loses its significance and fades into obscurity with a host of other slogans.

The man who copulates with the cloistered ascetic woman later voluntarily engages in the congregation she purports to serve.

@Enginerd

b) Overhead vistas created by Rayleigh scattering of solar radiation in the atmosphere seem to be expressing their approval of my current situation.

d) Having exchanged all my gambling chits for actual money, I’m continuing down the road.

Wild guess:

“Remember Tomorrow” by…Opeth

[Biffy_the_Elephant_Shrew]

@Enginerd

I believe these are also outstanding:

The first is “Death or Glory” by the Clash; the second is “Blue Skies” by Irving Berlin.

[Enginerd]

Both correct.

Your skills at capturing certain rodents are as yet unproven, also I do not count you amongst my prefered aquaintances.

Correct, that was my first attempt, too easy wasn’t it ?

This one’s still unsolved. Anyone want a hint?
