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

Cor Blimey! @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf - are you sure you're not the alien? This is a lyrics bonanza!

There's a very specific theme. It's the same (but different) very specific theme for each set of lyrics I've posted above.

CLUE: It's not a gazillion miles away from the VERY SPECIFIC theme I set the other night.

Have fun.

Getting individual lyrics = nul points

Get ALL the lyrics in the post, the singer/band and theme = points AND a higher step on the coolness ladder!

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

Beat it - MJ

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

Bruce Springsteen, dancing in the dark

It's a lyric-fest 🤣

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

Don't give up, Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel

Shelf Elf.. I can't remember what that theme was, can you remind us me please? ❤️😍😘

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

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

Queen

Bohemian raspody
In in love with my car
Your my best friend

Night at the opera

No points please I'm scared of heights

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

Bad boys, Duran Duran?

No @CoffeeBeansGalore - that's me up here on this freezing, freaking cool ladder!!!

.... waiting for my knickers to arrive!

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

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

I'm on fire Glory days Dancing in the dark

Springsteen

Born in the USA

I reckon the theme might be the artist's best-selling album @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

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

Bowie

Hunky dory

Changes

Life on Mars

@NeedToKnow101 here you go 😁

Midge seems to have sussed it.

All correct for Bruce Springsteen.

One missing for David Bowie. But all the guesses correct.

So far, you're closest to knocking needtoknow off her top spot.....

Radiohead - High and dry (from Ok computer)

What do I have to do to get back to terra firma please ?

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

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

Hanging on the telephone

Heart of glass

Picture this

Blondie

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@NeedToKnow101 here you go 😁[/quote]
Thanks Coffee they're perfect

Father figure

I want your sex

Kissing a fool

George Michael
Faith album

This whole list of 17,000 lyrics all unnecessarily posted en masse, can be summed up for me in one song...

Every night you’re out there darlin
You’re always out there runnin
And I can see that lost look in your eyes
(80s)

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

I said pretend you've got no money

You were the first girl at school to get breasts

At four o'clock the normal world seems very, very, very far away

90s

Common people

Disco 2000

Pulp but I don't know third song and album

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

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

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

Let's go Crazy
When Doves Cry
Take me with you

All from Purple Rain - Prince's 'breakthrough' album

80s

Is the theme that these are your favourite albums ?

@NeedToKnow101 elfy lobbed you some thermals two hour ago!
