C90 - songs that mention a specific time. (No songs about how none of us have enough time, blah.) Trying to make a tape that goes around the clock:

10:15 Saturday Night, mm hmm.
Neurotica - King Crimson: "Good Morning, it's 3AM in this great roaring city"
(Reluctantly)Twilight Zone - Golden Earring: "It's 2AM"
Thin Line Between Love and Hate - Persuaders: "It's Five o clock in the morning.."

Try to limit the number of "midnight" references ....

God, I wish I hadn't thought of "9 AM" by Londonbeat, I'll be singing it all day.

As an antidote, how about "Big shot" by Bark Psychosis - the first line is "It's 3AM", and it sounds like it.

I'm sure I can think of more given time (no pun intended)

There's always Joy Division's '24 Hours' if that would be in the remit of the tape. Also it would clash with Ronan's answer.
