all songs are in alphabetical order, from J through K
they are generally rock and roll songs by popular artists, although not necessarily #1 hits
the time frame is the 60s through the 90s, with a few exceptions
the first 5 start with J; the next 4 start with K, and the final 16 start with L
please identify both the name of the song and the artist in your response
the song title will not be found within the lyrics given
Good luck!
“Where were you when I needed you? You could not be found.”
“I could take this in doses large enough to kill.”
“I was born in a Class 5 hurricane.”
“Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners, desperate as the night rolls on.”
“We all chipped in for a bag of cement.”
“You’d go to LA on a dare and you’d do it alone.”
“Look boy, don’t check on your watch, not another glance.”
“And there hasn’t been a tally since Sally left the alley.”
“No more carefree laughter; silence ever after.”
“I prayed that the days would last; they went so fast.”
“So be sincere, convince me with a pretty-please.”
“Eating from TV trays, tuned in to Happy Days.”
“We bled inside each other’s wombs.”
“Fatal attraction is holding me fast.”
“Pack my bags and mount my horse…”
“Ain’t got no speakers, ain’t got no headphones, ain’t got no records to play.”
“In winter 1963, it felt like the world would freeze.”
“I hear you call my name, and it feels like home.”
“I’m so ugly, but that’s OK, cause so are you.”
“Well I left home just the week before, and I’d never ever kissed a woman before.”
“Just got home from Illinois, locked the front door, oh boy.”
“Consider this, consider this the hint of the century.”
“Nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant, pleading immaculate conception.”
“Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight.”
“Sky’s been cleared by a good hard rain; there’s somebody calling my secret name.”

5 more correct songs, except that Lovers in a Dangerous Time is NOT by Leonard Cohen (at least he is not the original artist). Oh, and song #9 is by ABBA, but it is not the song mentioned.
