Name That iTune V (UPDATED!)

Since I don't have a lot to blog about right now other than apartment hunting and trying to avoid being attacked by frightened deer at 5 AM, I'm bringing back this feature.

In case you forgot: I will post the first four lines of ten randomly selected songs from my iTunes library, and your job is to name the song and the band that plays it. Each song is by a different band, no song has appeared in a previous NTi, and I'll make sure to only include bands that someone other than me would have a chance of knowing.

My music library has grown quite a lot in the two years since I last did this, so it should be somewhat interesting. Also, if you care for some reason, answers from the last edition are in the extended entry.

UPDATE
Just for fun, I'll try something new. In the extended entry, I added a clue for each song that may help you name the band that plays it. If you figure out the band but not the song, go ahead and write it in the comments anyway. I want to see how helpful these clues actually are.

Away we go:

1.
I heard the news baby
All about your disease
Yeah, you may have all you want, baby
But I got something you need

2.
I
I'm a one way motorway
I'm the one that drives away
And follows you back home

3.
I couldn't think of someone
That I'd rather see
I couldn't think of any place
That I'd rather be

4.
Have I gone all too far?
Have I been here before?
If I have, let me know
How it goes

5.
Lift your head up from the clouds
I know that you're shaking, breaking down
How could you leave me, garbage can
Never want to be your understand

6.
Is this what you wanted?
You got what you needed, all that's mine
Take it or leave it
Everything's even but what's left of my life

7.
Oh, how I try
To push my feelings aside
Oh, this will go on
Until I open my eyes and realize it's over

8.
You fought me once, but not again
Let me feel your heavy hand
I will clean your fucking mess
And leave no trace of evidence

9.
Stick it in my face and let me see the look
As I watch the lump slipping right down your throat
I wonder how it feels to know I had you pinned down long ago
I want to know why it went wrong

10.
Sound is ripping through your ears
The deafening sound of metal nears
Your bodies waiting for his whips
The taste of leather on your lips

Answers to last edition:

1. "Shame" by Matchbox Twenty (guessed correctly by Stephen Macklin)

2. "Tolerate" by Staind

3. "Pieces" by Sevendust

4. "Drop to Zero" by TRUSTcompany

5. "Useful Idiot" by Suspended Agitation

6. "Endless Sacrifice" by Dream Theater

7. "Seek and Destroy" by Metallica (guessed correctly by Army NCO Guy, a.k.a. The Mulatto Maker)

8. "Invisible Man" by Theory of a Deadman

9. "Monkey" by Bush (I'm sure Larry would have something to say about this combination)

10. "Not Leavin' Yet" by Nickelback

CLUES FOR THIS EDITION:

1. If you've got it bad, you might as well jump right now.

2. WWII term for UFOs.

3. If you're not from Pittsburgh, I'll be surprised if you even know this song (it was never released as a single). If you are from Pittsburgh and you don't at least recognize the band, you've probably never listened to a local radio station.

4. Rhymes with "pickle sack" (I made this one easy because there's no way in hell anyone is going to figure out what song it is).

5. Pool of wet dirt.

6. Speculation about the last book of the Bible.

7. Okay, I cheated a little, because nobody is going to get this. I only knew about this band because they added me as a friend on MySpace a couple years ago, and they recently broke up. Just Google the lyrics if you want to know the answer.

8. Injuring the Steelers' starting quarterback.

9. Lucky speck.

10. Part of this band's name is actually in the posted lyrics.

Hope these help!
