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

@Honeyroar

And the weather is cruel
But the season of Yule
Warms the heart
But it still hurts
You’ve got your career
(90s/2000s)

I think that it's The Darkness but I can't remember the title

YES!! Oh thank goodness someone got it. Don’t let the bells end.

@Honeyroar

YES!! Oh thank goodness someone got it. Don’t let the bells end.

Thank you - I've been sitting here trying to remember!

I’ve another outstanding that I’m amazed no one got-

Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the air
I’ve no illusions
That is ever find
(80s)

@Honeyroar

Oh god two elves!

Rude!

Big in Japan

Alphaville

Yay! Well done @AJumpedUpChristmasElf.

Can't stop singing it now!

It’s not a bad one to have stuck in your head!

I think I posted this one too, but I might not have!

She believes in angels
She believes in the will of the gods
And she’s dancing amongst the magic dust
(80s)

I'm on a roll tonight

Severina - The Mission

You are. Although there’s nobody here to challenge you!

@Honeyroar

You are. Although there’s nobody here to challenge you!

I'll take any victories that I can

Lol, yes get the points in! We missed you last night.

I'm useless and exhausted tonight. But my last one from yesterday is still outstanding and its soooo eeeeeeasy

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

These still outstanding from yesterday. I've added more lyrics. Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand Told them how to do the bob and it was grand They started going steady and bless my soul He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the *** go tweet tweet tweet
50s originally, more famous (I think) version in the 70s

For we have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I’d leap in front of a flying bullet for you.
80s

There’s a dark, thin, winding stairway
Without any banister
Which we'll throw him down, and feed him on
Cockroaches served in a canister

What will he do when he’s turned black and blue?
He will curse the day
Somebody named him
60s

For every Casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
90s

Here. The 90s one

That’s Erasure I love to hate you, I think

Yes, well done. I didn't think that one was hard , still you all did VERY WELL to get there eventually

Have a super day x x x

The hopes we had, were much too high.
Way out of reach, but we had to try.

80s

That's Keeping the dream alive. Was it Fahrenheit?

Yes @Bluesheep8, they are called Münchener back in Germany or just Freiheit here.

Guess what happened to us today

80s
lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to each your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me

60( but really famous )
( silly girl) shame on you your mama said
( silly girl) shame on you you're crying in bed

Midge, the first one is Level 42,lessons in love

Not sure about the second

Correct flea,

Here is another by the same band since it's the band name that provides the link/ clue

And I felt a rush like a burning bolt of thunder
Spinning my head around and taking my body under

70s
