Turn a song in to average language and see can anyone guess it

Sweet thing, you seem like you're well known to me, similar to a reflective glass of mine from a time before. The pursuit of perfection is seated in a locked fortress, the medieval knightly system went down on his sharp weapon.

Yip! I'm not having any joy figuring out yours :-(

A busy dancehall is not required for us
We have all we need within reach
Looking at you, you looking at me
Let's us welcome
The flawless twelve months

The next line could be written as:
If 50% of their words are 25% accurate ...
Do your best, I don't want to go to sleep till it's been identified!

The other fella

He surveys you while you are dormant
He is knowledgable of you when you arise
He's informed if you've been unacceptable or marvelous
So be marvelous for righteousness sake

When I come out of a state of sleep, I am fully certain that I am to be, that I am to be that male that comes out of a state of sleep adjacent to you.

When I venture out, I am fully certain that I am to be, that I am to be that male that ventures along with you

You reckon you know the difference between Sligo and Longford,
Sunny overhead from soreness.
Do you know the difference from a new site and a chilly metal track?

Wish you were here, pink floyd?

That gave it away for me but I'm not going to ruin ratmouse's fun!
Little bit obscure though.

As in, it's far from a hymn.
Sorry, the Proclaimers are great, I think I'm feeling a big guilty that mine is a bit obscure, certainly in comparison to 500 miles

Me too, but everyone thinks I'm a giant cheese for having it among my ipod christmas classic lineup.

Put me down as brain dead tonight because I just can't get it!( although the 50% of their words reference makes me feel like I really know it!)

Raise up your limbs, raise up your limbs for a city in the state of Michigan.
I have a particular affection for this city.

As I near death, I become cognisant my journey is complete
I have been murdering and belittling it for such a long period
My mother thinks me insane

Here's my last one for now, got to get some sleep:

Then came evening soirees,
Everything you'd associate with someone of my vintage
My pals started to gossip
I started to understand

A tough one, I think

Its Come Live With Me by Heaven 17.
Little obscure I think, I only know it because someone gave it to me on a mix cd so don't beat yourself up!

You should thank whoever gave that mix cd - it's a fab piece of pop. I'm done, apologies to Ratmouse

You kids should listen to Come live with me and Temptation. Questionable morality but a great sound

_Whimsical_

I ignited water as it fell from the sky,
Observed it torrent downwards as I caressed your visage,
Allowed it combust as I wept.

Im in a city located by the ocean and I'm contentedly seated. Your rather pretty and you're straddling me sexually.
Im cleverly articulate and youre petite and it's unfortunate more people cannot see this.
Evening falls over our city as you suck my penis and im delighted that your dad will be out for a few hours yet.

We never converse in relation to amorous feelings. We solely desire to become intoxicated. And we are forbidden to part with money for we are told that this is the conclusion.

I'm outstanding in the field
I fought for my meals
