Phil Collins - True Colours?

I'm not sure about the lyrics though:

To be honest I only got them after you hinted on the artists :o :p

They're actually very good I think :)

I can't get the Coldplay one though, grr...
 
xxviii)Laying thine weary head down upon thy bed, does not slumber come. I fear you may be going from whence you came.

Is this the Coldplay one?

"When you feel so tired and you can't sleep. Stuck in reverse." Fix You

Oooh, and my friend tells me that;
xxix)To be of the fairer sex is my desire, that thou mightst hold in greatest regard that which i have to say.

is Counting Crows - I Wish I Was A Girl (pretty obvious I s'pose)

"I wish I was a girl, so that you could believe me"

I have both in text files but without answers (I just remember them). Looking back through them I've just realised that a couple of the ones I did this time have already been used before :o. I can always repost them here, I just won't be so quick to update the answers. Maybe if I do them ten at a time?
 
"xxx)The most aged of mine kinsman whom i know well cometh bearing good tidings. Doth I observe fear of deceit within thine features?"

"So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?"
