I can name that song!

Ok, I have a playlist on my iPod of 82 songs that I call "Stuff I like more than other stuff." Descriptive if not poetic. See if you can guess the song and artist from the first lines? Here are 15 that came up on shuffle that are in English and have lyrics, which means that you know that it's not Les Charbonniers de L'Enfer, Ralph Vaughn Williams, or Kashtin. (Answers now provided with name of song in italics and artist in bold.)
