Though I am not yet sure what my offered reward will be.

This idea shamelessly lifted from indrani_prime. Here are snippets from songs on my somewhat eclectic playlist. You get to guess the song and artist (where relevant, the name of a covering artist is also acceptable). Googling for relevant information is bad form, but I may give hints upon request.

Note that I have also assigned a point value to each of these, based on my perception of their obscurity. (* means that it's already been guessed; the result is at the bottom, but feel free to take a stab at it before you see the answer)

#1 "His one and only aim, to build a giant castle, and in it sign his name" (*)

Four is 'Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand', by Primitive Radio Gods. Twelve is 'Six Underground', by the Sneaker Pimps, off Becoming X. And I think the line may very well start "I fake my life" instead of "I live my life", but it's not clear enough to be sure.
