Actually @Fleamaker123 .. I don't thing that is Gwen Guthrie, but it's definitely that song... will have a think..

Yes NeedToKnow101, you're right with the song...

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Hello all

Still outstanding. 80s

I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition

Coffee, Waiting for a star to fall, can't think of the artist though

Boy meets girl
(Lost the thread somehow!)

@Fleamaker123

Yes NeedToKnow101, you're right with the song...

Ah it's Jocylyn Brown ..

Yes NeedToKnow101 👍👍

Correct with stayin' alive, coffee; so lonely, honey and the doors, shiny. Sorry I typo'd the decade.

The one no one got is REM. Care to guess the title that fits the theme?

@FlouncerInDenial - it's the end of the world as we know it?

I'm sure I either got that, or posted it too

I'm sure this has been posted recently but very topical

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

80s

Mad World, Tears for fears

👍

It's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these

1990s

That's Jamiroquai, virtual insanity

@Fleamaker123 & @iggy999 Correct 👍😊

All 80s

People say I should forget
New friend tomorrow
Don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime

It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

Number 3 is the Police.

And I think the first one is Sugar Minott but I'm not sure.

80s
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

(Cheery song! )

@NeedToKnow101 Correct to the Police, wrong to the other one 😊

Correct @Fleamaker123

Hello my love, I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too
All through the morning rain I gaze, the sun doesn't shine
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind
70s

Is it the Beat, can't get used to losing you?

Late check-in

@CoffeeBeansGalore your driving home again one is Ultravox, Dancing with Tears in my Eyes

@FlouncingBabooshka Correct to Ultravox 👍😊

@NeedToKnow101 No, sorry not the Beat. Do you want more lyrics?

All 80s

All things are possible But happen less and less This is my country These are my reasons

Cause I look in the mirror
And it throws back the question
And I whisper in words
That beg an answer

You say you still care for me but your heart and soul needs to be free And now that you've got your freedom you wanna still hold on to me You don't want me for yourself so let me find somebody else

We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
