AnswerMug challenge: Lyrics quiz! Part three: 1990s-today (NO GOOGLING)

I used to do this a fair bit on the old Bag, this is the first time on the Mug.

41. We are a rock revolving around the golden sun
42. That’s me in the corner, that’s me in the spotlight
43. When I’m not with you I lose my mind, give me a sign
44. Oh no, I know a dirty word
45. I like big butts and I cannot lie
46. And in this perfect weather we’ll find a place together
47. Are you thinking of me when you f*** her?
48. Never opened myself this way
49. Near, far, wherever you are
50. Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
51. I’ve got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby
52. I am gettin’ so hot, I wanna take my clothes off
53. Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
54. And the message coming from my eyes says, “Leave it alone”
55. And so were the words to transpire
56. The taste of her cherry chapstick
57. Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star?
58. I see your acting like you’re somebody else, gets me frustrated
59. How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
60. I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
61. Had your friends collect your records and then change your number
62. Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top
63. I’m too hot (hot damn), called a police and a fireman
64. Well it burned while I cried ‘cos I heard it screaming out your name, your name
65. Hey I just met you, and this is crazy
66. Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
67. Take me by the tongue and I’ll know you
68. And we gon’ make you lose your mind, we just wanna see ya shake that
69. All your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections
70. What about all the times you said you had the answers?

    I remembered 15 songs and the artists
    It was fun, thanks. : )

    Go ahead and post them. There's no prize money. You got one wrong anyway (#45 - it's not called that, otherwise I'd have used a different line that doesn't include the song title. And the artist for #51)

    For some reason not knowing many of the full both-artist-and-title answers is making me nervous today. But I still love your series of questions like this.
    :)

    #42 I love R.E.M. I'm listening to them now. "Losing My Religion" (though I did see my2cents' answer, I admit)

    #61 is Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know"

    Interesting.  I remember the line at #60. (No idea where or when I heard it.)

    I pretty much stopped listing to music by the late 70's.  No particular reason, but I suspect that it involves the fact that I learn 90% visually and find listening to information that I am supposed to retain only about 10% effective.  

    So learning lyrics was never easy for me.
