Okay, sorry, got a bit carried away in the cut text. Without further ado:
1. "All the people mobilize, nothing left to polarize, nothing left to fake."
Carbon Leaf, "Desperation Song"
2. "You can find some time to be someone, like a valentine for a lonely soul."
Neneh Cherry, "Trout". This is actually from the melodic part sung by Michael Stipe at the beginning of the song.
3. "And count the times he'll shout the great 'I Am'."
Nickel Creek, "Seven Wonders"
4. "All the battlements are empty and the moon is laying low"
Beck, "Guess I'm Doing Fine"
5. "Thirteenth apostle knocking at my door, telling me that I can't play with you no more."
The Tea Party, "Sun Goin' Down" (this might be a cover).
6. "How do you numb your skin after the warmest touch? How do you slow your blood after the body rush?"
As noted by lilituc, Jann Arden, "Insensitive."
7. "Well I can't hully gully, I can't do a shimmy, but when it comes to lovin', I'm a lovin' little fool."
John Lee Hooker, "Want Ad Blues"
8. "I make a pot of coffee while catastrophe awaits me out on the lawn."
apotropaic got this one. Ani Difranco, "Glass House"
9. "If you come back, I'll take you to the garden, and we'll dance to an orchestra on the lawn. And we'll roll in the foggy dew, and dance with the ghosts upon the dawn."
Mundy, "To You I Bestow". You may remember this song from William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.
10. "You wear sandals in the snow, and a smile that won't wash away."
Sarah McLachlan, "Building a Mystery". As guessed by mynuet, lilituc, and apotropaic.

That was fun. WHEE.
