Music identification meme

[kyrielle]

Music Trivia contest meme, started by falconcat, spread to me by solcita.

1. Hit random on your player of choice
2. Put the first line of the 10-15 songs that come up first
3. Readers guess title & artist.
4. I will then edit to add the answers you guess correctly, and credit you as the trivia maven! Googling is cheating. Listening to music to find it is not cheating. Because listening to music is a goodness!

I skipped any song without lyrics, of course; also any where I couldn't understand them. (The only ones for that are in foreign languages I don't speak, though.) Also any that actually included their title in the first line. :P Any artist that has performed the song is acceptable, although I may not know they have in some cases! :) I also tended to add a little more to make them recognizable

I'm actually just going to put credit for who first got it on the item, so that those who wish can guess it before checking the comments to see if they are right.

1. cipherpunk got this one:
   
   Living with my eyes closed
   Going day to day
   
2. Her majesty was so fine
   He almost thought that she was real but she's divine
   
3. solcita got this one:
   
   Don't worry, mother
   It'll be all right
   
4. I've been lately thinking about my lifetime
   
5. ohimesamamama got this one:
   
   Cover the mirror
   Hide in your dreams
   
6. cipherpunk got this one:
   
   It was a beautiful day
   the sun beat down
7. Capture the moment, carry the day
   Stay with the chase as long as you may
8. One look at love and you may see
   it weaves a web over mystery
9. ohimesamamama got this one:
   
   Well we all have a face
   That we hide away forever
10. ohimesamamama got this one:
    
    You come from far away
    With pictures in your eyes
11. In the year of 1492
    When Columbus sailed the ocean blue
