I take you to the dump, ’cause you’re my queen

Last week’s Friday 10 had one, single lyric identified by the inimitable, inevitable Fred. This week, how many will we see identified?

Among the lyrics that went unidentified was “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears — a personal favorite that also happens to be central to Curt Smith’s appearance in the series Psych, in what I consider to be one of the best celebrity cameos of all time.

The rest of the lyrics are now identified both on the original post and in the by-now standard YouTube playlist! So let’s get into this week’s 10. If you know the artist and the song, get in the comments. And remember: No searching the answer up, and if you identify a different version than the one I have on my music player you still get credit — as long as it’s a version of the song I can find!
