Sam..
You've been loyal, true and faithful
All this time with being alone
If I could get that same dedication
I'd give you everything in creation
If she doesn't come back (If she doesn't come back)

Alleys that we run through
Now we've just begun to
Have fun tonight

Flea, that last one is either called something in the city or dancing in the city.

Don’t know who sang it.

I’ll be your leprechaun and sit upon an old toadstool
I’ll serenade you til I’m old and grey

She's got a heart of gold, she'd never let me down
But you're the one that always turns me on
You keep me comin' 'round

A close encounter with a hardhearted man
Who never gave half of what he got
Has made you wish that you'd never been born
That's a shame 'cause you got the lot

Well you can turns the lights down low
Somethings are better that way

Substitute, by girl band Clout

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 04/08/2020 19:58

I’m back!

Belated yes to @SimplySteveRedux for Linger and @ThatLibraryMiss
for Drive in Saturday.

Don’t think anyone’s guessed these. Apologies if I’ve missed something - there’s a bit too much to catch up on!

If nobody guesses in the next hour or two I’ll add to them

All 90s

The night is like her lonely dream.

It’s the ones who resist that we most want to kiss wouldn’t you say?

My emotions start up when I hear your name
Maybe your sweet sweet voice would ring in my ear
And stimulate my senses when you are near

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 04/08/2020 19:59

Actually the first one was originally released in the 80s but was only a hit when re-released in the 90s.

TwigTheWonderKid · 04/08/2020 20:15

@SingingBabooshkaBadly your first one is Blue Hotel by Chris Isaacs.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 04/08/2020 21:08

@TwigTheWonderKid 👍🏼. I posted Drive In Saturday for you the other day but you weren’t around!

Honeyroar · 04/08/2020 21:35

I’ve got a feeling that you’re gonna like it
What I’m doing to you
And I know what I’m doing
I’ll be doing what you want me to do
(90s I think)
