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

Happy birthday @CrepuscularCritter 🥂🎂🎉🎁

All 80s

In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
That's covering your mind?

Are you ready for the time of your life?
It's time to stand up and fight
It's alright
It's alright

@CoffeeBeansGalore The middle one is either The Eurythmics or Annie Lennox

For the life of me I can't recall the name of the song tho

Correct artist @AJUmpedUpChristmasElf. Keep trying 😁

You ladies have been amazing to me this year, my scope date is NY Eve! Have a bloody wonderful Christmas all of you, you incredible people, you've brought so much comfort my way xx

@CoffeeBeansGalore The last one is The Housemartins, Caravan Of Love.

And Happy Birthday to the Christmas Eve-rs. To my eternal shame...although I was little at the time...I was once disappointed there weren't more presents on Boxing Day too.

And thanks for the birthday wishes. I hope all goes well @Steve - sending good thoughts northwards.

The middle one when I fall in love it will be forever or I'll never fall in love

No idea I had it down as 60s

In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

Celine Dion and Clive Griffin?

When I say middle I mean first

Happy birthday Crepuscular 🎂🎉

When I fall in love - in the 80s I think this was done by Rick Astley

In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

I singing the next line as I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas 🤔

The Annie Lennox one is Miracle of Love.

I’ve just been down to the village and there were happy birthday balloons all over someone’s door and gate. Common as muck these Christmas Eve birthdays, it seems!!

Have a good Christmas @WhipperSnapperSteve. We’re always around. Don’t be a stranger.x

All these January birthdays- sounds like we’ll need another party...

Correct to When I fall in Love. Originally 1957 by Natalie Cole, but I had Rick Astley in the 80s.

Correct to Miracle of love by Annie Lennox.

One more . . . 😁

@WhipperSnapperSteve Merry Christmas & glad to hear they are getting a move on & not leaving you hanging on too long. Best of luck x

Did you miss a birthday getting caravan of love or have I missed another lyric?

@CoffeeBeansGalore I think the original of When I fall in love was by Natalie Cole's father Nat King Cole

Also done in the early 1970s by Donny Osmond!

Apologies, I missed @CrepuscularCritter got Caravan of love. Sorry was trying to do 2 things at once 🙄

@shinynewapple2020 very possibly, but I blame google!

Only one line for this early 90s track: Brooklyn's got a winning team

Is that We didn’t start the fire? Billy Joel?

We didn't start the fire, Bruce Sprinststeen
