Obscure post-punk lyrics quiz.

[reddragdiva]

From thepaintedone on a mailing list. The aim is to get artist and title for as many of the lyrics below as possible without using Google. (That's how I looked them up myself.) All are from the time period 1979 to 1984 and would have been reasonably known to hipsters in the UK and Australia. And I love 'em.

If you want to do this one, post your answers before reading the comments so as to avoid spoilers!

1. "Charm's in limited supply/And refusing to stretch/That indefinable nothing/Somehow keeps pushing you"
2. "It's all ours/It's a love bond/It's a power bond/I just want to see your face"
3. "I'm dead and dank and rotten/My arms are wrapped in cotton/My corpse loves you, let's marry"
4. "Capitalism is the most barbaric of all religions/Department stores are our new cathedrals/Our cars are martyrs to the cause"
5. "Kiss of neverness/Life of timelessness/We'll break the speed of chance/We'll tame eternity"
6. "Sit down with empty papers/Wipe the smoke through the hallways/Someone whispers in the darkness/Might be there way too long/Scatter the dusty papers/Come back to blue heaven"
7. "It's so hopeless to define/When you jump to close the blinds"
8. "I'd sing solitaire for the B.E.F./But who wants to be with them, anyway?/Snow on Easter Sunday/Jesus Christ in reverse"
9. "Now there's action on the basement stairs/A monster, half man half beast, climbs/Hear the hatchet, grind, grind"
10. "You make me feel ashamed/At acting attitudes/Remember ridicule/It should be clear by now"

If you get more than three of these, I love you and will have your babies. (Childbearing offer not redeemable by hirez without signed dispensation from girfan.)
