Number 2 Robert Palmer Addicted to Love

Is the 3rd one The Stranglers Golden Brown? I know that has a line about 'lies me down ...' and then a bit that's famous for no one being able to tell what they sing (before you could get everything off google)

Another verse of my outstanding 80s one

She knows (she knows)
There'll always be a special place in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, I'm always right there beside her

Shelf elf just fits though. An evil little creature that we quite like really. I’m waiting with baited breath to be able to doctor your next name. 👹

I’ve noted the comments calling my good character and sobriety into question. I am not flouncing I am rising above it.

Still no takers for this one. I am posting even more lyrics - practically giving it away...

You cry, justify
But deep beneath the feelings lie
Photo, looking old
Memory makes the day feel cold
They’ve gone, sing your song
Walk the flow, ah, too slow
Post boom, second doom
Stealing cake to eat the moon
This might not last too long
So always take it
This might not last too long
So take it
Reasons, reasons were here from the start

80s

Hard to flounce when you know it's true, eh!

All 70s

You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'
If I could see something
You can see anything you want, boy
If I could be someone
You can be anyone, celebrate, boy

Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Sorry, a line space disappeared. This is 2 songs. Sorry!
