Wacky, bizarre and just downright weird lyrics or songs.

2.) “Here’s a partridge in a tree. You’ve bought the girl a tree, complete with ornithologist,”
3.) “I know you’ve put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses, I know,”
4.) “Oooo baby, watchful lines. Vibrate soft in brainwave times,”
5.) “She purrs just like a kitten, she seems to throb with pride, gives you the feeling you’ve been taken for a ride,”
6.) “Send you up the river like your looking for Kurtz, I got the mugawump jizm up and ever reverse,”
7.) “You’re the tray of nice things I upset yesterday. The display of bright rings that I let slip away,”
8.) “Up every evening, about half eight or nine, I give my complete attention to a real good friend of mine. He’s quadraphonic, he’s got more channels, so hologramic,”
9.) “Fly me high through the starry skies or maybe to an astral plane. Cross the highways of fantasy, help me forget today’s pain,”
10.) “I’d have to get drunk every night and talk about virility to some old grandmamma who might be decked out like a Christmas tree”
11.) “A walking monument to DNA, making love under the podium at the PTA, he’s the principle of Principals, its love gone bad,”
12.) “Everywhere I go the chicks are moving and a’grooving, wiggling and a’giggling, dancing and a’prancing, beaming and a’screaming,”
13.) “She’s a slag, he’s a creep, she’s tart, he’s very cheap, she is slut, he thinks he’s tough, she is a b
h, he’s a puff,”14.)“You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza, you’re so afraid to catch a dose of influenza,”

17.) “She’s got a thing about carving wood, shaping a figure from a lump of mud,”
18.) “We feel the steam as it rises around us, up from the soil that is cracking its back. Tough as the leather that’s strapped to my skin, strong are the bounds we make,”
19.) “You can’t drink lava from plastic glasses and you can’t influence the masses,”
20.) “I have got facts, I know the truth. You’re all corrupt, you’re all depraved,”
& an extra double points quote from one of the bands above.
21.) "Someday we'll have one extra coastline, we'll tire of the Atlantic,"
Sorry if there are any duplicates from earlier quizzes but it is a bit tricky not to fall into that trap occasionally.
Enjoy...?

No 9 - Dreamweaver, no idea who by.
It was Gary Wright. A song much beloved by American sitcom/movie writers as a short cut to introduce the heroes dream girl in romantic comedies.1.) “Swim seagull in the sky, towards that hollow western isle. My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze,”
2.) “Here’s a partridge in a tree. You’ve bought the girl a tree, complete with ornithologist,”

Some clues.
Surprised no one has got 1.)
18.) is by a well known 80s band. Was a double A side single but I would imagine doesn't feature much on their latest comeback tour set list.
7.) is by an artist no one longer with us who since his death Radio 2 seem to have fell in love with (not Nick Drake.)
2.) and 21.) are by the same band who seem to have discovered the secret of youth as they have never split, been hugely influential and are still recording/touring today.
So. Just harder or is my target audience dropping off
