Anyone know this one? Genre Indie. The theme is a clue.

90s
All I want in life's a little bit of love
To take the pain away
Getting strong today
A giant step each day
All I want in life's a little bit of love
To take the pain away
Getting strong today
A giant step each day

I don't know your song @NeedToKnow101 but two more on the same theme that I thought of when trying to guess yours

Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow could always keep her small

1990s

She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour blind

Also 1990s

SimplySteveRedux · 24/08/2020 14:40

I've had a brain freeze. Who was it who wanted the links to the music threads on Udemy? Sorry, not lyrics!

Not Brittany @midgebabe. Too funky by George Michael, which someone got earlier.

So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be

1990

Fleamaker123 · 24/08/2020 22:09

And I,
I'm ready to sail any ocean

1980 duet

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 25/08/2020 11:33

Haven’t been around much the last few days - combination of friends coming to stay in a holiday cottage just up the road and a rapidly unfolding domestic issue (house, not relationship!).

Friends have gone now and I need a distraction from the domestic problem so...

70s
You got that hungry feelin' for some love and it's alright
It's alright
It's alright

80s
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going

90s
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Fleamaker123 · 25/08/2020 15:04

👋 SingingBabooshkaBadly
Sounds like you've got lots going on 😩
Your 80's one sounds familiar...

Fleamaker123 · 25/08/2020 17:50

So don't you ask me
To give it back

70's

Fleamaker123 · 25/08/2020 17:50

80s
Like a dream in the night

Roxy Music, more than this

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/08/2020 17:56

@SingingBabooshkaBadly hope everything works out ⚘

And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep
1970s

When everyone is up front and they're not playing tricks
When you don't have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
When it's nobody's business the way that you want to live
1990s

I need someone to get this, because I'm sure I know it, but I can't think what it is
VictoriousSockPuppet · 25/08/2020 18:50

The last one I posted, which was a couple of days ago I don't think anyone got.
It was beautiful freak by the eels

VictoriousSockPuppet · 25/08/2020 18:53

I think I struggle more with the 90s cos I didn't listen to much music radio during that decade, but a lot of albums (cds). So, for example, I know lazy by suede, but no one else on here did. I don't know what their hits were. I just listened to the album
