Musical Monday #152

Welcome to the 152nd edition of Musical Monday, the weekly quiz that Soccer Dad and I alternate hosting. As always, the challenge is to identify the title and artist of each song quote below, as well as the common theme of the entire set of songs.

There's a single group of songs this time representing a single overall theme, though I could have split it into several sub-themes.

1) "I don't know how someone controlled you"
2) "When you sing through the verse and you end in a scream"
3) "Catch as catch, catch as catch can"
4) "I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis"
5) "Then he comes to town, and you see his face"
6) "Fortune of my ways, making of my days"
7) "It opened up her eyes and ears to me"
8) "Silently it waits for me; or someone else I suppose"
9) "He threw one down from the top of the stairs"
10) "Destiny, destiny, protect me from the world"
11) "And she's got everything that I have to live without"
12) "They call me dirty from the alley"
13) "As the smile ran away from his face"
14) "Your heart dissolves, while he tips you so gracefully"
15) "I've made fortunes, spent them fast enough"
16) "It's just that I am not in the market"
17) "I called upon my brother just the other day"
18) "I feel so frustrated; the boss is a jerk"
19) "So Mary marry me, let's not wait"
20) "Our finest gifts we bring"
21) "And my hands can't feel to grip"
22) "When you drop a coin you'll hear it sing"
23) "Listen to the tears roll, down my face as she turns to go"
24) "Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years"
25) "The kids don't eat and the dog can't sleep"
26) "10 o'clock, nighttime in New York, it's weird"
27) "It really brought him down because he could not jam"
28) "You've got a hub cap diamond star halo"

Good luck and enjoy!
