One/two lines from a well-known(?) song. What's the song? (And, for a bonus, what's the next line?)
One answer per person for the first 24 hrs please...
-1. Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide
-2. He tipped his hat and took a seat
-3. Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
-4. Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
-5. Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had
-6. As she sewed, she told a story from the Bible, she had read
-7. There's a blaze of light in every word
-8. It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
-9. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
-10. Sometimes we'll sigh, sometimes we'll cry
-11. Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
-12. Messages keeps gettin' clearer
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
I wonder what's on television...?

9 - I walk the line by Johnny Cash
I keep a close watch on tis heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I love me some Johnny Csh

2. The Trolley Song - Judy Garland
He tipped his hat and took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet
He asked my name, I held my breath
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

4. Mr. Tambourine Man.
Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping

6 - Coat of many colours by Dolly Parton
As she sewed, she told a story from the Bible, she had read
About a coat of many colours Joseph wore
and then she said perhaps this coat will bring you
good luck and happiness

7. Leonard Cohen There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah 
Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

5. Hi Rog, I think it's from Far Behind by the Candlebox, but,
I can only find 'Didn't mean to treat her so bad', the other part 'she was the best girl I ever have had',
does not seem to be in the lyrics.
What do you think?

I'll do no. 10 instead.
10. True love ways by Buddy Holly.
Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why just you and I
Know true love ways

Or any one of dozens of blues singers....  My favourite is Claoton on the "Unplugged" album/DVD
