first lines?

[memory man]

Can you identify the correct song from its first lines?

1. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
2. Oh yeah, I'll tell you something, I think you'll understand
3. (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
4. Just a small town girl, Livin' in a lonely world
5. You can dance, you can jive. Having the time of your life
6. Left a good job in the city, Workin' for the man every night and day
7. Took my love, I took it down, I climbed a mountain and I turned around
8. I made it through the wilderness, Somehow I made it through
9. I hear the drums echoing tonight, But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
10. I am just a poor boy, Though my story's seldom told

The only one I didn't know straightaway was number 7 - so I haven't answered any of the others

3. Bonnie Tyler with Total Eclipse of the Heart
10. Simon & Garfunkel with The Boxer

10 is a great song but can't find a live stage video clip. Anyone?

All answers are correct so far.

No 7 is not so easy ( I should have checked it out first )
