I touch you once
I touch you twice
I won’t let go at any price

The full moon is calling, the fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
You got your demons, you got your desires
Well, I got a few of my own
1975

The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
1967

It's OMD ... but I'm struggling for the title - maybe Souvenir?

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill
1990s

Who'd want to rule like President Reagan
Or kick a ball like Kevin Keegan
Don't wanna sit Barbara Woodhouse does that
I'd like to see her try it with the Blue Peter cat.
1980s

You should've left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
And you'd never have known

Is this Kiss From a Rose? Is it Seal?

Isn't it Talking Loud and Clear?

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 09:28

Pantry - correct with James and Laid.

If there is fire stirring in your heart
And you're sure it's strong and right
Keep it burning through the cold and dark
It can warm a lonely night

I don't think this one's been got. Is it Need Somebody? Or You Might Need Somebody? But I don't think it's 90s. I think it's 70s. Randy Crawford??? I guess it could have been covered in the 90s. Steps, maybe?

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 09:37

Ok. I'll give you more from the two of mine that are outstanding.

The first one is really hard, because apart from the song title, the lyrics literally are:-
He'll open doors
He'll open doors
He'll open doors
He'll open doors

He'll open doors
He'll open doors
He'll open doors

He'll open doors
He'll open doors
He'll open doors

So try these. Different song, same artist, same album.

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
Then I wake it's kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye?
This is goodbye

And adding to

Don't call me scarface

Don't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
Catch 22 says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 09:38

Flamenco
Lambada
But hip-hop is harder
We moonwalk the foxtrot
Then polka the salsa

90s

What are you doing Sunday, baby?

When you feel lost and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough

shiny - pulp.

shinynewapple2020 · 30/08/2020 09:43

Someday I believe it
You will come to my rescue
Unchain my heart you're keeping
And let me start anew

1980s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 09:43

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
