@FlouncerInDenial 😄. That's a slice for 3 of you then?

This one still outstanding

Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by

@FlouncingBabooshka Pure stab in the dark - is the group The Vampires?

Ooh, Coffee, close, but no cigar...

T'Pau - Hearts and Souls

Ahem - Stop stealing my points Hard stare at those responsible

Small one for me too please coffee. Need to get it quick whilst MrBabooshka is in the other room. He’s recently been diagnosed with diabetes and I’m not eating sugar in solidarity. Which of course means I’m eating sugar in secret at every opportunity...

I felt safe and sound
But needed the danger
80s

Correct Pantry for T'pau, and not stealing anything 😄.

@FlouncingBabooshka Poor chap. I'll pass it over quietly. Sshhh

thanks Coffee...

I’m adding more to these two but it really does look like nobody knows them.

If you don’t get this one now you’ve probably never heard it...

00s
Who gives a fuck about an Xxxxxxx?
I've seen those English dramas, too
They're cruel
So if there's any other way
To spell the word, it's fine with me
With me
Why would you speak to me that way?
Especially when I always said that I
Haven't got the words for you
All your diction, dripping with disdain
Through the pain, I always tell the truth

70s
You stood in the belltower,
But now you're gone.
So who knows all the sights
Of Notre Dame?
They've got the stars for the gallant hearts.
I'm the replacement for your part.
But all I want to do is forget
You, friend.

I never thought I'd miss you
Half as much as I do
And I never thought I'd feel this way
The way I feel
About you
80s

It must be love by Madness - original by Labi Siffre in the 70s

coffee one of yours is Just like Heaven by The Cure

ajumpeduppantryboy

That's Martha's Harbour by All About Eve

@FlouncingBabooshka Correct with Madness 👍😊

@Bluesheep8 Yes it was the cure 👍😊 but I'm afraid someone beat you to it.

Hopes dashed to the floor
Like shattered teenage dreams
Boys living next door
Are never what they seem, oooh
A walk in the park can become a bad dream
People are staring and following me
This is my only escape from it all
Watching a film or a face on the wall

80s

Robert de Niro's waiting, babanarama

Bananarama 🤣

thanks Coffee...

I thought I got this ages ago? I think I copied the wrong set of lyrics, but i gave myself the points (although, that's not unusual ) The second one is hammer horror, kate Bush

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
80's

A bit more from one of mine..

Hey! You! Looking out of your window
I've been watching you for so many days
Now I'm feeling brave enough I'm wanna ask you
Can I take you out - hey! what do you say
I'll be throwing pebbles up at your window
So make sure that you're ready when I call

80's

fleamaker that's The Riddle by Nik Kershaw

Yes Bluesheep8👍

@Fleamaker123 that pebbles st the window one is called something like Dancing Tight (I don’t wanna let you go). Not sure of the group, it was 70s disco type music.

@FlouncerInDenial

Bananarama 🤣

Correct! 😂🙌🏼😘
