Really happy to hear that, honey. Big hugs.

What's outstanding? Actually, I think some of mine are...

Both 80s

Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us
Looks like they'll try again

In the year of our lord, eighteen hundred and six
We set sail from the fair cobh of cork.
We were bound far away with a cargo of bricks
For the fine city hall of new york

Wild boys - duran Duran

And something by The Pogues but I can't find the name of it

Irish Rover!!

@Breathmiller Well done on both 👍😊

80s
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice

Got rhythm, I can't miss a beat
Got new skank, it's so reet
Got something, I'm winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
70s

Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man? (your man)
80s

Def Leppard, Pour Some Sugar on me?

@Fleamaker123 Correct 👍😊

Nobody got this one from last week..

A man with psychedelic picture frames
Of happiness to shade his eyes
He's glad, oh, that he found
Somebody who he can rely on

94

This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
80s

Coffee, that's Simply Red, Holding back the years

@Fleamaker123 Correct 😊👍.

All of my friends keep asking why
I'm quiet when you're around.
But they don't know I think
I'm so lucky to stop myself from falling down.
1980s

Is that Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders

it's not space cowboy, is it?

Correct FlouncerInDenial, Jamiroquai 👍

These are still outstanding from my names theme + the ringer I threw in to confuse you which fits it with a previous theme.

Do you want more lyrics? I have to say, I'm very disappointed in FlouncingB (her not being on the thread since I posted these lyrics is no excuse)

You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day
But please don't mention my lonely cell where I'm gonna pine away
Until my dying day
50s

See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?
60s

With a kiss
I'd pass the key
And feel your tongue
Teasing and receiving.
80s

more on the same theme....

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

60s

Let the bible belt come and save my soul
Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can
Change is coming 'round real soon
Make us women and men

80s

And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

80s

And they're going to the discotheque Au Go Go
But she just couldn't stay she had to break away
Well New York City really has is all oh yeah, oh yeah

70s (this is really one for me, sorry to the rest of you )

I know my mind is made up
So put away your make-up

70s

Why did you choose to deceive me?
Was your plan just to kiss, fuck and leave me?
So, considerately, just please talk to me
I won't portray myself so pitifully
My little conceit, you see
Is that I will never need you more than now

90s (I don't think this is hugely well known, so hence the quantity of lyrics, but it's from one of my favourite albums ever)

Personality changes behind her red smile
Every new problem brings a stranger inside
Helplessly forcing one more new disguise
80s

Tie him up when he's fast asleep
Send him on a pleasant cruise
When he wakes up on the sea
Sure to think of me and you

70s
