You know my only crime

Ah @Iggi999 that was the other one I thought I knew .
Right definitely going to sleep now !!

This one might slip into 2000 actually - I heard it on the radio today and it was played as a request for someone who said it was their wedding dance song - a bit off when you know all the lyrics!

I'm not the reason that you
Go astray
We'll be alright
If you don't ask me to stay

In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right

'Cause nobody loves me Its true Not like you do

1990s

Portishead! Absolutely love this song.

Red box of memories rings a bell, but can't get there atm. Have to leave for someone else.

Sorry, needtoknow, that's not the name of the song. It is ska though, so I know you know it. But can't give you the points I'm afraid.

Yes shiny x 3 (I'm impressed you knew the Janis ian) and also correct Iggi

@VictoriousSockPuppet

He'll open doors (Repeat line endlessly)

90s

Still outstanding.

Do you need more? This album was EVERYWHERE for ages. Soundtracks on documentaries, adverts, etc the artist was incredibly woke before being woke was a thing.
It's a nice album

@VictoriousSockPuppet

You're driving me crazy When are you coming home?

90s

Outstanding

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Don't call me scarface

Sorry, needtoknow, that's not the name of the song. It is ska though, so I know you know it. But can't give you the points I'm afraid.

1990s
Portishead! Absolutely love this song.

@VictoriousSockPuppet - correct! Brilliant song and band I agree. But nil poix unless you guess the song title.. (I'm slightly flouncing here over Scarface)

Sour times.
It's the second song on dummy for my bonus point. mwah

I'm sorry you're flouncing, but I can't give you a point when you've got the title wrong and haven't named the band. It wouldn't be fair on everybody else.
Talk to Babooshka about flouncing. She's very good at it!
