Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone

The doors riders on the storm

We had the toad line quite recently ?

Toad line????

@CoffeeBeansGalore, correct on Here comes the rain, Candle in the wind and the theme.

@Iggi999, yes, it’s Misty.

@Fleamaker123, yes, Mr Blue Sky.

@FlouncerInDenial, your two are right, and it’s a relief that someone got a Dylan song after Lily, Rosemary and the jack of hearts was lonely for a week.

Another in the theme

Did it make you super happy to write that last line, honey?

A couple of kinda topical ones....

Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger

70s

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds

70s
That's hard, but the rest of the lyrics are a bit of a giveaway

If you're all alone, pick up the phone
And call

80s

Too much fighting on the dancefloor

80s

You better stop the things you do
I tell ya I ain't lyin'
I ain't lyin'

50s

Stop messing 'round with your tricks
Don't turn your back on me, baby

70s

Features distorted in the flickering light
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night

80s

Too mich fighting in the dance floor

This town is coming like a ghost town the specials

Is the first one Cliff Richard?

Oh and ghostbusters !

@midgebabe

Song? (But yes).

The other two are correct as well.

What's the theme?

Well if the theme is Halloween then it could be devil woman

Don't try and kid us, midge. You've outed yourself as a cliff richard fan. It's done

@FlouncerInDenial

You better stop the things you do
I tell ya I ain't lyin'
I ain't lyin'
