Lets try another round....

Thesaurus Songbook

I'm going to give you some song lyrics that have been reworded with synonyms – you need to state what the song is

1   I bade farewell to the quintessential American woman, then travelled to the earth bank in a Chevrolet, although upon arriving the water body was arid. The locals were partaking of fermented grain spirits, believing that our lives were over.

2   I am prepared to perambulate almost 805 kilometres, and further more would stroll another 805.  You are gazing upon the male who is willing to travel 1609 kilometres on foot merely to collapse at the entrance to your house.

3   I am merely a destitute young man, from an equally impoverished household.  Please do not make my existence suffer this horrible situation.

4   The situation can not get any worse, it can only improve, now we have encountered each other.

5   I am going to impart to you some information, which I am certain you will comprehend, for that entity is the fact that I wish for our carpal areas to grasp each other.

6   I am unable to receive any fulfilment, I do not obtain gratification, though I attempt it repeatedly, I do not get any, no I don't, not at all.

7   We moved rhythmically to the finest melody for all the hours of darkness, and I could remember all the lyrics. Although I have forgotten the tune and words now, the girl will not pass out of my memory, because of the boogying we did to the aforementioned tune.

8   The underworld has disappeared, and the Kingdom of God has arrived, meaning there is nothing left to be scared of, so wiggle your buttocks and locate yourself with me. Now shout excitedly.  I am destroying the representation of my previous image with fire.  You are the person who gives a solid basis to my feelings, beloved.  Please allow yourself to be amused by me.

9   Both of us should be present, as well as edible shellfish from beneath coastal waters. I also require air to move from a high pressure system to a low pressure system, while precipitation is needed but should be infrequent, plus a minced beef dish from Texas and Mexico, as well as a carbonated white wine.

10   As it stands, things are almost finished. I am confronting the end of the show, a metaphor for death. So mate I will make this understandable, I'll make my justification, and I am confident of it. My existence has been broad, using all the opportunities available; but even better, I completed it by the method I wished to use.

1 American Pie
2 I would walk 500 miles
3 Bohemian Rhapsody
4 Things can only get better
5 I wanna hold your hand
