20 songs meme!
First lines, name the song, google is cheating, etc. Tweaked slightly to get rid of instrumentals and obscure things I have but don't know myself.

1. I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay / Ain't it sad w_wellington
2. I hear the drizzle of the rain / Like a memory it falls / Soft and warm continuing / Tapping on my roof and walls. w_wellington
3. Show me how you do that trick / The one that makes me scream she said quitehonestly
4. Fancy brings a thought to me of a flower so bright and fair / Grace and beauty, both combine to make that far more rare / Like a maiden that I know who shared my happy life / Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget-me-not". genkisamurai
5. Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray kumokasumi
6. Wake up kids / We've got the dreamers disease kumokasumi
7. You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life w_wellington
8. I really think I better get a hold of myself /Don't wanna let the night get ahead of myself / Whisperin' her love through a smoke ring smile /She doesn't know what happens when she's around
9. When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone, /When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on / Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries kumokasumi
10. Paint the town take a bow / Thank every body you're gonna do it again /You are the few the proud /You are the antibody, mind, soul and Zen topaz
11. _________, wider than a mile, / I'm crossing you in style some day citharadraconis
12. Calm down /And get straight / It's in our eyes / It's _____________
13. There was a boy /A very strange enchanted boy genkisamurai
14. And I'd give up forever to touch you kumokasumi
15. The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door / He said, 'I am not fighting for you any more' bluetreepoet
16. You can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen / Her response is getting stronger I think she's coming round again
17. Came in from a rainy Thursday /On the avenue / Thought I heard you talking softly / I turned on the lights, the TV / And the radio kumokasumi, sorta - anyone know the artist?
18. I'm your only friend / I'm not your only friend /But I'm a little glowing friend topaz
19. You're the one stepping on the back of my shoes / You're the one using me as a muse nalidolly
20. If I caught the world in a bottle /And everything was still beneath the moon /Without your love would it shine for me?

You did make 17 up I'm afraid, but otherwise you're right on. Nature Boy is the Bowie version from Moulin Rouge, but it's not like you can tell that from the lyrics. And thanks. :D

It's actually John Barrowman, but there's no way anyone's going to know that. :D

so i didn't look to see if anyone else had answered, because this is more fun

1. Abba -- Money Money Money
5. Billy Joel -- We Didn't Start The Fire
7. Abba -- Dancing Queen
9. REM -- Everybody Hurts
13. The song is "Nature Boy", but it's been recorded by like a million people. I'm going to go ahead and guess this is the Moulin Rouge version.
14. Goo Goo Dolls -- Iris
