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

People try to take my soul away
But I don't hear the rap that they all say
They try to tell us we don't belong
That's alright, we're millions strong
This is my music, it makes me proud
These are my people and this is my crowd

Coffee, this is Kiss, Crazy nights

Coffee the middle one is beautiful south I think

"I love you from the bottom of my pencil case's...is it that one,?

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

The middle one isn't loving you (minnie ripperton) is it?

I know the third one, but can't place it. Morning all

Morning! Read that lyric again Trophy

These two from my flurry weren't got so I've added genre ...

Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath
70s rock

One more.. 90s British poppy soul

Give me just a second and I'll be alright
Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart
Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay
Just another day and then I'll hold you tight

The Beautiful South song is called Song for Whoever

@NeedToKnow101
Just another day until I hold you right

Sounds like Leona Lewis One more sleep

But it wasn't 1990s. And you wouldn't post a Christmas song in January ......

Yes shiny. That's the one I meant, not sure if its correct though

@shinynewapple2021 "Sounds like Leona Lewis One more sleep

But it wasn't 1990s. And you wouldn't post a Christmas song in January ......"

It's not, and no, I wouldn't

These all have something in common...

Get in get out of the rain
Come in come out of the rain
(80s)

If that’s your problem don’t let it show
You will find it self deceiving love can be so unsure
Keep a level head maintain your pride then you can face the situation straight in the eye
(80s)

They might break, they might fall
But the girls in New York City don’t
They just start again, start again.
(80s)

We can go when we want to
Night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet
(80s)

Love leads us into the stream
And it’s sink or swim like it’s always been
And I keep on loving you
It’s the only thing to do
(80s)

All this pain I can’t stand it
You’re gonna leave
You’re gonna leave this poor man on his own
Yes you are
(80s)

If it seems a little time is needed
Decisions to be made
The good advice of friends unheeded
The best of plans mislaid
(80s)

You may be a sharp dresser
You may be a fantastic dancer
You may be a lively conversationalist
But what happens at the end of the evening
(80s)

It’s the grooviest thing
It’s the perfect dream
(80s)

Just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I was wrong when I thought I was right
It’s always the same it’s just the same
(80s)

Well done, my 3 all guessed. Crazy crazy nights & song for whoever, as well as Swing out sister earlier 👍😊

Will Powers, Kissing with Confidence.

Honeyroar, I think your first one is Human League, fascination

One below is the safety dance ..Men With hats (men without hats?)

We can go when we want to
Night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet
(80s)

Ooh ooh this one is Victims, Culture Club!

Love leads us into the stream
And it’s sink or swim like it’s always been
And I keep on loving you
It’s the only thing to do
(80s)

Yes correct with Kissing with confidence @CoffeeBeansGalore

Correct with Fascination @Fleamaker123 (time is needed one)

Correct @Iggi999 for The safety dance (no hats!) and Victims.

Well done all.

"Just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I was wrong when I thought I was right
It’s always the same it’s just the same"

Genesis - That's All?

Correct for Genesis @KatherineJaneway

It’s the grooviest thing
It’s the perfect dream
(80s)

Love Cats, the Cure

Correct @fliouncingb. I’m amazed nobody noticed that one. Especially the shelf creature.

And I didn’t say hello when I posted the lyrics either!😄

They might break, they might fall
But the girls in New York City don’t
They just start again, start again.

Honeyroar is this Double Dutch, Malcolm McClaren?
