 It's on the album 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'
11. 'Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike ... They've all come to look for ____________'

Answer: America

 'America,' from 'Bookends.'
12. 'Oh _______, you're breaking my heart! You're shaking my confidence daily!'

Answer: Cecilia

From 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. Simon and Garfunkel spelled the name "Cecilia," but there are many spellings of the name in use.
13. Why does a singer on the album 'Sounds of Silence' have to go 'Somewhere They Can't Find Me'?

Answer: He held up a liquor store

 This singer has quite a larcenous streak (or a thing against liquor stores): he also holds up a liquor store in 'Wednesday Morning 3 a.m.' on the album of the same title, Simon and Garfunkel's debut release. 'Somewhere They Can't Find Me' is clearly a reworking of that early song; the situations are the same, but the lyrics are redone. Thanks to player Matwandless for pointing this out!
14. 'At the Zoo,' we find that what animals are reactionaries (while 'antelopes are missionaries')?

Answer: zebras

 According to this song from 'Bookends': 'Monkeys stand for honesty, giraffes are insincere, and the elephants are kindly but they're dumb ...'
15. '____ where my thought's escaping, ______ where my music's playing, _____ where my love lies waiting silently for me'

Answer: home

 This is 'Homeward Bound' from 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme'. Thank you for playing!
