I'll kick it off with some of mine that didn't get guessed on the previous thread, all in line with yesterday's theme. They may be too old for some of you young whippersnappers but they're good songs, well-known in their days:

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
60s

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
60s

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
70s

Morning 👋 @ThatLibraryMiss

Morning! Thanks Coffee.. The 🌞 is shining here at last!

Thanks @CoffeeBeansGalore 🙂

Found you!

Thanks for the new thread, coffee. mwah!

Library, I'm not sure of the song, but I can hear Simon and Garfunkel in my head for the first one. Is that right at all?

someone on the last thread was asking me about the songs I put up on Friday night. Most of them got got. Do you want the answers to the ones that didn't or shall I just post them again?

I'll give it until tonight and then let you know the ones that didn't get guessed (in bold below). The rest all were:

I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

80s = Red Red Wine, UB40

You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!
You gotta make it happen!

90s

What a good place to be
Don't believe her
'Cause they speak a different language
And it's never really happened to me

80s = Happyhour, the Housemartins

I like your stories
I love your gun
Shooting out truck tyres
Sounds like loads and loads of fun

But in my room
Wish you were dead
You bawl like a baby
In Eraserhead

80s

Oh, in the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning

90s = Sorted for Es and Whizz, Pulp

He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by

70s [I don't think this one got got, but apologies if it did]

Everybody's waitin' for me to arrive
Sendin' out the message to all of my friends
We'll be lookin' flashy in my Mercedes Benz

2001 - Get This Party Started, Pink

I'll be drinkin' to forget you
Light another cigarette
And the band's playin' something
By Tammy Wynette
And the drinks are on me tonight

70s

Got up, I walked out
To the car, start it up
Feel bad, sad night
I never saw a red light

Sirens were a screamin' all around
I pulled on over and I shut her down
A black cop gave me a shove with his gun
Said up against the wall and don't make a run

70s = Milk and Alcohol, Dr Feelgood

Afternoon, @CoffeeBeansGalore

@FlouncerInDenial, correct on the singers. Now let's have the title.

I can definitely list loads it's not, library. But that's not quite the same.
Def not bridge over troubled water, not the boxer.
It's not america is it? I'm not sure it is

@ThatLibraryMiss
Homeward Bound ?

Thanks for the new thread Coffee!

Got a few here and a theme...

Let me say that since, baby, since we've been together
Ooh, loving you forever
Is what I need
1970s

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me and love another
You'll regret it all someday
(very old but been a hit since the 60s)

Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of Heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
70s

Walk in shadow, move in silence
Guard against extra-terrestrial violence
But yo, we ain't on no government list
We straight don't exist, no names and no fingerprints
90s

On from the last thread wish me well say goodbye I will never tell I saw you cry

I think that you knew right from the start that there was this restlessness in my heart

80s group not one of their well known ones

Milli vanilli, ellie?

@NeedToKnow101

Your first song is Lets Stay Together . Sung by Al Green . I think Tina Turner May have done it as well

Need to know, the top one is let's stay together. Is that heaven 17? It's been done/covered a few times I think.

The penultimate one if the bee gees. Stayin' alive
