Because I'm Bored.

All from my shady past. This is the New Wave edition.

1. 'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me there's something going wrong around here



2. But you still mystify, and I want to know why



3. I wish I could be as carefree and wild



4. Fallen leaves in the night, who can say where they´re blowing



5. I see innocence shining through



6. I'll give you television, I'll give you eyes of blue



7. I am like all magic men (yes I know, yes I know) I am all



8. But your empty eyes seem to pass me by



9. I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall



10. the second hand unwinds



11. try to detect it, it's not too late



12. You can watch yourself while you are eating



13. I hear the talking of the DJ, can't understand just what does he say?



14. what worries me then is when I wake up if it might be worse



15. He has his future in a British steel



16. It touches and it teases as you stumble in the debris



17. I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around



18. the one who insists he was first in the line is the last to remember her name



19. Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find.



20. You can lose a lifetime thinking of it and lose an era daydreaming like I do

Wow. I feel so... retro. Have fun.

Determined not to read comments before guessing, but I'd bet most of these have been correctly guessed already.

Doop de doo:

4. 10000 Maniacs - More Than This
6. David Bowie - China Girl
8. Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself
10. Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
11. Devo - Whip It
17. Human League - Don't You Want Me

12's vaguely familiar, but I can't place it. And... hmm. 16 is by the Eurythmics, I think, but I can't name the song.

She's good.

Except #4 was Roxy Music's first.
