Another name one (apologies if already been done!)

And as she left, she gave that smile
As if they were still lovers

80's

Yes Shiny 👍

@Honeyroar

I’m worst at what I do best And for this gift I feel blessed (90s)

Is this Nirvana ?

It is Shiny and I’d forgotten I’d posted it!🤣

The “she’s so pretty’ one, is it Halo by Texas?

We are far too young and clever

Come on Eileen, Dexys midnight runners

If you want the fruit to fall
You have to give the tree a shake
But if you shake the tree too hard
The bough is gonna break
1980s

Loosely part of the name theme. . .

I'll sing you songs till you're asleep
When you've gone upstairs I'll creep
And write it all down, down, down, down
1980s

That's Mary's Prayer by Danny Wilson.

One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
Remember that everybody has to wait in line
80s

Your letters, they all say that you're beside me now
Then why do I feel alone?
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone
60s

@TwigTheWonderKid Correct to Mary's Prayer 👍😊

The poem in a letter one is David Bowie’s Blue Jean.

The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
(80s and fits the theme)

One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
Remember that everybody has to wait in line
1970s (name)

Apologies, weirdly I've managed to copy & paste the above rather than the intended lyrics. Try again!

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around
1970s (name)

Song for Whoever, Beautiful South

Morning! This mornings ear worm for me...

I always wanna be by your side
60s

And one more:

When she go walking down Bourbon Street
I just can't understand as I walk behind her
She got red hot pants on
She got on a low-neck see through blouse with no brassier on
She shaking like two big old balloons in a hurricane
90s

on,
She shaking like two big old

@NeedToKnow101 - "I always wanna be by your side" - The Kinks: You Really Got Me.

@FlouncingBabooshka Yes, Song for whoever 😊👍

All 80s

Well I hadn't seen your face around town awhile,
So I greeted you, with a knowing smile,
When I saw that girl upon your arm,
I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm.

Watch the waves break on the bay
Soft white sands, a blue lagoon
Cocktail time, a summer's tune
A whole night's holiday!

Dear mummy, dear daddy,
You had plans for me, I was your only son.
And long before this baby boy could count to three,
You knew just what he would become.

All 80s and all Wham! @CoffeeBeansGalore

Young Guns
Club Tropicana
Bad Boys

Correct @everythingisginandroses

Oh, I don't understand it for you it's a breeze
Little by little, you've brought me to my knees
