Lyrics Quiz: Mystery Theme vol. II


It has been awhile since I last ran a mystery theme quiz (a year to be exact) so maybe I’ll make November the official mystery theme month. If you guess the theme you will get three extra bonus points and as always you need to put both artist and title in the comments section (along with the theme if you think you know it) and if you are correct I will un-bold it and give you credit. The Lyrics Quiz is for entertainment purposes only so please do not use anything besides your own meandering mind to help you up with the answers. Now onto the quiz:

Hints:
9. This song also includes the lyric, "Let's get married" which is odd considering the relationship of the two people in this band.
Mystery Theme: I actually thought this would be easier than the last one which was guessed fairly quickly. Oh well. As for a hint, take notice to the individual lyrics specifically.
