Lyrics Quiz!

I tried this on another board I post on, and it went down quite well. See if you can answer the questions from song lyrics:

1. Easyworld: What is it 'just not fun' to do?
2. Green Day: What does Billy-Joe "pledge allegiance" to?
3. Charlotte Hatherley: For what did Antonio leave Charlotte?
4. Beautiful South: What have you "a knighthood" in?
5. Blur: What does Damon "dream of" on a Sunday?
6. Radiohead: What will Thom be doing "if London burns"?
7. Ozma: When do chances last a finite time?
8. Futureheads: What do you do "on your dinner break"?
9. Idlewild: At your lack of what do I laugh?
10. Beautiful South (again): If the pound is replaced by the Euro, what properties is it likely to maintain?

Not all of them but:

1. Get your killing in the free world.
2. The underworld
6. Standing on the beach with his guitar
7. In the warm july night-time
8. Make a new friend
9. Conversational skills

There is no way to answer these without sitting there and singing in through in your head. :-).

I'm sure I know the Blur and one, if I don't get it by tomorrow, I'll google it rather than go crazy.

Pleased to see you know your Ozma :-)

Actually, one of these is wrong! #1 is not from 'Second Amendment'.
Clue on the Blur one: It's a track from before they had their first no.1 hit.

P.S My top 200 is finished: go to ijtop200.blogspot.com

I can see where you got the answer to #1 from.

Perhaps Ql would be better posed as:

Easyworld: What "just isn't fun"?
