Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions

Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)

Prince, When Doves Cry

Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side

I don't need no bible
Just look in my eyes
I've waited so long baby
Now that we're friends
Every man's got his patience
And here's where mine ends

People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you

80s

Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen
I don't know when

Kate Bush, Cloudbusting
Love that

Oh, why can't we talk again?

What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind

All I want is 20-20 vision
A total portrait with no omissions

70s

He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family

But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want, don't try to resist me

Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

80s

So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse

All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on…

70s

She's got one in the oven
But it's nothing to do with me

You made no preparation
For my reputation once again

Don't ever be denied

90s

And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill

Candle in the wind, Elton John

He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family

Papa don't preach, Madonna

All I want is 20-20 vision
A total portrait with no omissions

Blondie, picture this

No idea on the theme yet..

Sometimes its like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,

Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

80s

oooh lots of songs!

Electric word, life It means forever
And that's a mighty long time
Purple Rain

Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)

That's When Doves Cry - Prince

I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion
I don't care if we spend the night on the town
All I want is to spend the night together

Never take the place of your man.

All Prince..

But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want, don't try to resist me

Open your heart to me , Madonna

Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can

And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Nothin' Can Stop This Burnin'
Desire To Be With You
Gotta Get To You Baby
Won't You Come, It's Emergency
Cool My Fire Yearnin'
Honey, Come Set Me Free

80s

Can't you all wait while I eat my dinner?? Not a lyric!

Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

Madonna, La Isla Bonita

As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale

Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure

My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand

80s

Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a

La isla bonita, Madonna

And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean, Michael Jackson

It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully, to the sound
Of your loneliness

I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you

Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you want to do

70s

A little high, little low

So, she made tracks, saying
"This is the end now"
"Cars don't talk back"
"They're just four-wheeled friends, now"

Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive

70s

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed

Take a rest as a friend

Rather be dead than cool
(I don't know why)
Every line ends in rhyme
(I don't know why)
Less is more, love is blind
(I don't know why)

90s

All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love

He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

You've changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door

90s

Electric word, life It means forever
And that's a mighty long time

Actually that's Let's go crazy

Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure

Everybody wants to rule the world, Tears for Fears
