The 2nd one is Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 and the 3rd is Manic Monday by The Bangles, written by Prince

Those two are correct blue sheep.
Although they were already guessed . Do you know the first one ?

And the weather's grim, coffee

Sometimes grim, sometimes gorgeous.

As are you 💋

shinywapple no! and it's driving me bananas trying to think!

Morning!

Here's a few with a theme which runs through either the title or the band name...

When I first saw you
Something stirred within me
You were standing sultry in the rain
80s

Hopes dashed to the floor
Like shattered teenage dreams
Boys living next door
Are never what they seem
80s

Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
80s

No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
60s

Oh, do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?
60s

Built like she was
She had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do her any harm
80s

Hopes dashed to the floor
Like shattered teenage dreams
Boys living next door
Are never what they seem
80s

Twig, that's Bananarama, Robert De Niro's Waiting

Built like she was
She had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do her any harm
80s

Prince, Raspberry Beret

Ah, think I can see a theme... Fruit🍏🍐🍌🍋🍍

Excellent, Flea! Keep going!

The 1st one is rip it up by orange juice

3rd is buffalo stance by neneh cherry

4th is strawberry fields by the beatles

Oh, do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?
60s
Heard it through the grapevine.. Marvin Gaye and the...?

I do love a theme..

*Just close your eyes and then remember
The thoughts you've locked away
When tomorrow comes you'll wish
You had today

And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on*

This in keeping with the theme.....

Ooh Strawberry Switchblade @Bluesheep8!

Well done @Fleamaker123, @Bluesheep8 and @NeedToKnow101! 🍊🍌🍒🍓🍇

twig yes! Well done

I've got a fruit-based lyric (80s)

If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite

That's human nature by Michel Jackson

More fruit based....

If you wanna squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told it all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird

@Bluesheep8 correct! 🙌🏼

That's Kid Creole and the Coconuts Stool Pigeon - one of the first albums I bought

Well done needtoknow how ironic it was your first album too!
