@TwigTheWonderKid
Your letters, they all say that you're beside me now

is So long, Marianne by Leonard Cohen

Three of mine that no-one got and several are going to kick themselves for:

Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up, love her and she'll bring you luck
is Danny's Song by Kenny Loggins, a hit in '72 for Anne Murray.

He moved across the mirrored room, "Set it up for everyone, " he said
is Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts by Bob Dylan

And the one that I wasn't really expecting people to know, but it's a favourite of mine:
The kids today, they think that they've discovered everything.
But me and her, we done it all without a wedding ring.
is the beautiful Naomi by Ralph McTell.

@NeedToKnow101

.. 80s

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

That sounds like George Michael, I'm singing it to myself but drying up after a couple of lines!

Fleamaker it's Different Corner

Love that song

Love that song

Oh yes of course ☺️ I've not heard it for ages, will have to go listen.

Still outstanding

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)

Correct @Fleamaker123 and @shinynewapple2020 - love this song so much 💔

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better
1983

Coffee, that's Elton John, guess that's why they call it the blues

@Fleamaker123 Wow you were quick! 😊👍

On the ice blue line of insanity is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery, touch it but can't hold it
You work all your life, for that moment in time
1980s

Maniac? Can’t remember the guy’s name. (Guessed it on previous threads and couldn’t remember then either, I think!)

Yes, well done @Honeyroar, quick as well! 👍😊. It's by Michael Sembello.

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
1980s

Owner of a lonely heart. Yes?

@Honeyroar Correct 😊👍

You're begging me to go
Then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad
It would help me to know
1980s

Pat Benatar - Love is a battlefield.

@Honeyroar 😊👍 You are on a roll 😁

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
1984

Tina Turner’s What’s Love got to do with it? You’re on my wavelength tonight Coffee!

Am off to bed though. Will think of some lyrics soon! (although got one outstanding from one of our mutual group fave bands a few pages back)

Correct again! Goodnight Honey 😴

Night Coffee.😘

I'll follow your bus downtown

(Well I won't, because I'm only supposed to make essential journeys in my area, but in the 1970s someone did)

That's Blondie, One Way or Another.

I'm sad you can't stalk me, Iggi!
