Switched on the radio to begin my morning
Heard a tune I knew and got somewhat distracted by it
My eyelids descended and I wandered off.

We resisted, strongly and with some success
On the flat ground we pushed him back
But numbers told in the end
Will liberty ever be ours?

“Run to the Hills” - Iron Maiden.

I cheated with the help of a certain search engine, forgive me

Okay let's have a new set. I should point out, for clarity's sake, these are ALL opening lines from the songs.

Song 1

I observe an incorrect satellite ascending
I foresee peril approaching
I note fissures in the ground and electrical discharge in the sky
I foretell a difficult period ahead from this morning.
Refrain from visiting when it gets dark
It's likely to kill you
An evil planet ascends.

Answered: "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Song 2

Urban ladies apparently discover rapidly the method of effecting entrance by means of curving the lips
A wealthy, aged husband and she will have no need to care
She will wear lace and be the belle of the ball
As darkness falls a large residence seems too empty
I suppose each mode of shelter costs something
And it causes her pain inside to consider that her affection is but afforded to a man whose palms are not warm.
And therefore she advises him she must leave until the early morning
To provide succour to a companion who is depressed
He, however, is cognisant of her destination as she departs:
She goes towards the area of the city where they do not play fair.

Answered: "Lyin' Eyes" by The Eagles

Song 3

Not awake when I penned this, pardon me if it should wander
But when I arose I was sure the Rapture had arrived.
The firmament was a mixture of blue and red, crowds rushing here and there
Attempting to evade the devastation, however I was not concerned.

Answered: "1999" by Prince

Song 4

Rouse yourself, Margaret! I believe I must speak with you.
For it is after August and I ought to be returning to class.
I am aware I make you laugh, however I believe you are manipulating me
Oh Margaret! I attempted the best I could.
You enticed me from my domicile as you preferred to have company
You took, without permission, the organ which keeps me alive, and it's this which really upsets me.

Answered: "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart

Song 5

I say, younger sibling! What has transpired?
I say, younger sibling! Identify that person which is the sole party.
I say, younger sibling! What has transpired?
I say, younger sibling! Identify that person which is the sole party.
I say, younger sibling!
Double-barrelled weapon!
It's a pleasant day to recommence.
It's a pleasant day for a pure marriage.

Answered: "White Wedding" by Billy Idol

Song 6

I recall for all my existence very cold precipitation
Male shades, a countenance at the pane, sobbing after dark
Dark becomes light and then morning, merely a separate span of 24 hours
Joyous crowds traverse my path
Staring in their gaze I observe something remembered
And fail to understand how pleasant things were with you.

Answered: "Mandy" by Barry Manilow

Ahh...blue + red = purple =

The very last line made me realize: She's goin' to the cheatin' side of town.
