Name That iTune II (Plus Answers to NTi I)

Since people actually participated in this last time, and there isn't anything going on at the moment that I particularly feel like writing about, let's play another game of "Name That iTune." In addition, the answers to the first Name That iTune (see link above) are in the extended entry.

Wow, that first paragraph and the post title are redundant...

Anyway, same rules as before: I'll post the first four lines of ten randomly selected songs from my playlist, and you try and identify the title of the song and the band that plays it. Correctly guessed lyrics will be underlined (only two were solved last time, and those were both from the same commenter, so friggin'...try harder this time, dang it!).

Now, on to the lyrics. Once again, iTunes is selecting these, not me, and I will not discriminate very much between easy and obscure songs, although I may skip over one if there's absolutely no chance anyone but me will know it:

1.
I walk alone, I am alone
I think alone, I'll die alone
Don't think I can make it on my own
I think I need someone to save me

2.
Forever's a lonely time
And the dogs aren't always
Aren't always on my mind
'Cause I didn't free them

3.
Voices call, they call out my name
They say I'm different, well I'm not the same
You say you want to be like me
Well boy let me tell you, you don't know what I've seen

4.
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?

5.
Affirmative may be justified take from one, give to another
The goal is to be unified take my hand, be my brother
The payment silenced the masses sanctified by oppression
Unity took a back seat sliding further into regression

6.
She fills my bed with gasoline
You think I wouldn't notice
Her mind's made up, her love is gone
I think someone's trying to show us a sign

7.
There’s another world inside of me that you may never see
There are secrets in this life that I can’t hide
Somewhere in this darkness, there’s a light that I can’t find
Maybe it's too far away, or maybe I’m just blind

8.
Let the fun and games begin
She is spayed and broken in
Skin is cold and white
Such a lovely, lonely night

9.
This feeling's back today
It's so deceiving like it's never leaving
Same as yesterday
As the pressure's mounting, I continue counting

10.
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey’s head?

Minor hint: Four of these are from debut albums. I suppose I'll post the answers next Friday or something.

Now, if you continue to the extended entry, you can see the answers to the first edition of Name That iTune. Because I know you've all been dying to know what you...didn't know...yeah. Anyway...

1. "Bitch" by Sevendust (correctly guessed by Ryan, a.k.a. The Best Guitarist In Suspended Agitation)

2. "Illusion" by Creed (also guessed correctly by Ryan. Is it any wonder we started a band?)

3. "Freak of the World" by Puddle of Mudd

4. "Weathered" by Creed

5. "Fight For All The Wrong Reasons" by Nickelback

6. "Crash" by 12 Stones

7. "Arlington Avenue" by Gary Frenay (star of Against the Wind, the greatest student documentary of all time. I have this song because he let me borrow his CDs for research purposes while we were shooting.)

8. "Lounge Act" by Nirvana

9. "Can You Keep A Secret (My Name Is Phil)" by Rick Still

10. "Hey, Johnny Park!" by Foo Fighters
