First one is close to me by the cure

2nd one is we close our eyes. Don't know who sang it. Two blokes? Or just one on his own?

Is this a theme?

Put some up, midge!

The what and then name change to guess them? Sounds a bit cheating to me!

We close our eyes was Go West

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Not sure what your lyric is, needtoknow, but you can have a point if you never call me shelf again

@midgebabe Correct to the Police 👍😊

Trophy, yes, well done to The Cure

Joint well done to Trophy & Flea for Go West, we close our eyes.

More of a fun common word than theme 😊

Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though i went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
80s

Coffee

If the next line is "I was crippled emotionally " then its George Michael/Aretha franklin, knew you were waiting.

If it isn't, I don't know it

Not sure what you mean by this, midge?

a mini theme

Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
70s

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's a cure
You can rest your mind assured
This version 90s

So many promises never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
80s i think

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Trophy, yes, well done to The Cure

Hardly joint! I got it right, flea happened to know the (truly woeful) group

Forstbone is don't go breaking my heart. Elton john and kiki Dee

Stop calling her Trophy! I’m nowhere near her and can see her head growing! Shelf or Space or Clearing is just as useful...

And from a couple of pages back, it was Animotiin that sang Obsession.

First one

She can be Ropy Shelf, or Learing

Oh, she's here.

Trophy is now my established name, honey. You can't mess with established!

Points can be deducted, needtoknow....

I think you'll find that a mere two people calling you that, in no way makes it and 'established' name. Can't pull the wool over our eyes 👀

I've got nice wine and cheese tonight

Trophy Correct to George & Aretha I knew you were waiting 👍😊

Noooooooo!!!!!!!! Don't abuse your power Elf! How the mighty can fall ..

This is Patti Labelle and Michael Mcdonald, on my own
(now we're up to talking divorce and we aren't even married... cringey lyric alert)

Theme Love gone wrong/splitting up?
