DDR Cryptics

I posted this to the DDR BBS. Thought there might be a few people reading my journal but not the BBS that might like to take a stab at them.

If you haven't done cryptics before, type "Cryptic Crosswords" into Google and you'll get something helpful.

An example might be:

0) Bird's arm inside a seated position

in which case, a bird's arm is a "wing", and a seated position is to "sit", and if you put wing inside sit, you get "Swing It". If these are too hard (or if I've screwed up), I can put clues like how many words they are and what mix they're from, or something. :)

Cryptics:

1) Put some stuff in front of an electrical charge

2) The final results of unscented windex spray

3) A great speaker is outside gym class

4) Shorten Seattle's State and...

5) The cold within pulls the levers now

6) Turn Tetsu around three times

7) A dumb mixup burdens all

8) Just a little bit of heart and soul

9) Algerian currency inside confused old worry

10) Tea and you go great together; put sugar in the middle and it's even better

Okay, in my first glance through, all I got was the last one. I suck. Also I need to eat. I'll come back later when I've had food.

woah.... abstract thinking.... your brain has performed an illegal operation and will be shutdown.

Wow, I can't get any of those. But then again, I was never really good at these kind of things.

hmmm...

I'm hampered by not knowing the songs. Is the answer to 3 'Operator'?

D'oh! That makes more sense than mine.
Orator outside of PE. heh
my reasoning for "Ghosts" was:
great speaker = HOST
outside of "gym class" = the outside letters are G and S.

unfortunately, if that were the case, the clue would more likely have been "great speaker INSIDE the outside of gym class" or something like that.
