1. You won't hear me, but you'll feel me
Without warning, somethings dawning, listen
Then within your senses
You'll know you're defenseless

Nope

2. Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Tiny Dancer, Elton John

3. Her young face was like that of an angel
Her long legs were tanned and brown
Better keep your eyes on the road, son
Better slow this vehicle down

Familiar!

4. Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile

Faithfully, Journey (Thanks, Kristy Lee!)

5. You can see the summit, but you can't reach it
It's the last piece of the puzzle, but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured, but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds, but your hopes go down the drain

VERY Familiar!

6. I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing, and I don't want to waste more time

New York State of Mind, Billy Joel

7. Downpour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
I can't feel my feet touching the ground

Nope

8. Hey, Jack, it's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back, and you're messin' around
I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown

I Hate Myself For Loving You, Joan Jett (Thanks, Amanda!)

9. Look over there! (Where?)
Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend
They say that looks don't count for much
If so, there goes your proof

Is She Really Going Out With Him, Joe Jackson

10. He sees his children jumping off
At the stations, one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun

Aqualung, Jethro Tull

Bonus: Identify the letter of the day.

J!

Double Bonus: Song #8 was recently made over (same music, different lyrics) as the theme song for a TV show that appears weekly from late summer through early winter. Who sings it and what is the show? (10 points each)

I don't know! I just heard it recently on Idol. Would it be a reality dating show? I Love New York?

Final Bonus: What is the real (birth) name of the artist who sings song #2?

Reginald Dwight
