Update with some hints for the yet unanswered. I will be out at a remote job site until this afternoon. So I well answer any not correctly guessed by then and turn it over to whoever has the most points at that point.
A. "Walkin' down my street
Comes up to my house"
G-L-O-R-I-A (poohbear_nc) by Van Morrison (poohbear_nc)
B. "But I'll teach my eyes to see
beyond these walls in front of me"
Trapped (Stitchawl) by ???? Bruce Springsteen did cover this.
Hint: Originally written and recorded by a reggae great.
C. "I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by"
Hint: This actually was released before I was even born by an artist that is an icon for his music genre.
D. "Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long"
Hello I Love You (poohbear_nc) by The Doors (poohbear_nc)
E. "When I've walked in the garden
When I'm walking off stage"
This female artist was quite popular during the golden age of MTV, when it was about music videos. She also made a very controversial appearance on the television program Saturday Night Live back then.
F. "Baby, I don't want you, but I need you"
You Really Got A Hold on Me (pooh_bear_nc) by Smoky Robinson (poohbear_nc)
G. "Beatniks are out to make it rich"
Season of the Witch (Stitchawl) by Donovan (Stitchawl)
H. "I am an old woman
Named after my mother"
Angel from Montgomery (issybird) by ??? Bonnie Rait released a nice cover
Hint: Originally written and recorded by a man, despite what the lyrics would imply.
I. "Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
But hold on to your lover,
'Cause your heart's bound to die."
Hint: Any fans of the television program Northern Exposure might recall that this song played over the closing credits of the final episode. The female pop country artist has a very distinctive voice.
J. "Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her"
Sweet Home Alabama (Shayne Parkinson) by Lynyrd Skynyrd (Shayne Parkinson)
K. "Your never ending presence really cramps my style
I dream that it won't always be the same"
Hint: This may be the most obscure to many. The artist and his backup band blended everything from pop, 1940's swing, jazz, to country in his music. There was often a touch of humor in his songs, as with this one.
L. "Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV"
Working Class Hero (SneakySnake) by John Lennon ( SneakySnake)
