Lyric meme.
Okay, it's the "guess the song" lyric meme. I'll post a lyric from each song, randomly chosen from those on my iTunes. (Semi-randomly, anyway; I have a lot of instrumental stuff, and I want to spread the lyrics out among different sources, of which I have comparatively few, so I'm not letting it be totally random.) Post your guesses in the comments. Etc. (You know the drill by now.) A couple of these are particularly nasty, but I think at least one person out there should be able to get them.
(ETA: Bolding the only unguessed ones. Clearly everyone should be giving me new music to listen to. :))
1. But the world is full of zanies and fools who don't believe in sensible rules.
2. Don't believe I ever saw him without a cocktail in his hand.
3. I want to see Tucson before it's all gone.
4. I didn't do it, but if I done it, how could you tell me that I was wrong?
5. I've been washed up and put down and told I'm no good.
6. We have waited for the time, for the truth to live, when justice will shine.
7. Spirits far above, charms aloft on high, sweep away the storms rumbling 'cross the sky
8. So if you care to find me, look to the western sky.
9. I don't have time to waste on you anymore.
10. And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime?
11. Quand je seme a main pleine, sous le grand ciel d'hiver
12. His fingers stroke those keys and every note says "please."
13. I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all, and I sure ain't in it for the wealth.
14. Again my cursed comeliness spreads hopeless anguish and distress.
15. It's receipt to receive the receiver.

4. What leighjen said.
5. Oops, I have a recording of this and can quote you all the lyrics, but don't know the title offhand... "There's been a change in my life since you came along" is the refrain.
9. "There's a Fine, Fine, Line," Avenue Q.
14. Act 1 Finale, Patience. (That one almost got me--it sounded like G&S, but not any lyric I could think of. But the context fits Patience, and now that I think about it, the lyrics fit as Grosvenor's alternate for the free-for-all. Now I feel better. :))
15: "Tis no Deceit to Deceive the Deciever," Kreg Segall. :)

I'm feeling rather annoyed that I recognize #8, as I have little but contempt for that show.
I may be completely and utterly wrong about this, but is 6 from Riverdance?
