# 13  "But you'll never see the end of the road while you're travelling with me" - from 'Don't Dream It's Over' by Crowded House

# 29  has been answered, but I thought it was 'Wild Boys', where the windmill he was tied to broke down when his head was underwater...

# 40  has also been answered, but I thought the lyrics were "But you can keep them for the birds and bees, I want money"
