This is still outstanding too. (I think)..
10.	Same old story back again

She's not a lover, she's just a friend

Has that been posted before? I remember not getting it ages ago. It feels like it rings a bell, just not loudly enough!
NeedToKnow101 · 23/06/2021 22:42

Honey yes I think I posted it a few months back..

Unfortunately I keep going into Texas , I don't need a lover I just want a friend which isn't helping

midgemagneto · 24/06/2021 08:15

It sounds also like something the beautiful south would write , also not helpful

I met Paul Heaton once. He was absolutely bladdered.

"And he tells me that women grow on trees
And if you catch them right, they will land upon their knees"
80s

Honeyroar · 24/06/2021 18:15

I don’t know that one either. Seem to be losing my touch! 🤔

NeedToKnow101 · 24/06/2021 19:17

The two of mine that are ungot are both soul songs.

shinynewapple21 · 24/06/2021 19:18

(1)

It's warm in and out
The call for sacred hours
The soft chant of new-born singing
The magic force of your feelings

(2)

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?

(3)

could be a lot but I know I'm not
I'm content just with the riches that you bring

(4)

When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head

(5) Another summer
Another vacation is over
A September morning,
With the sun and the smell of the clover

All songs 80s. Number 5 I think was just an album track but it was a big album for the group concerned .

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 24/06/2021 19:34

The only one ringing any bells for me, shiny is 4. Otherwise I'm clueless!
My lyrics are linked to my previous comment, if that's any help

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 24/06/2021 19:35

Bugger, it's just come to me! Just can't get enough - Depeche Mode

midgemagneto · 24/06/2021 19:38

A wild guess for 1)

First picture of you ?

Honeyroar · 24/06/2021 19:47

2 is Roxy Music. More than this?

Fleamaker123 · 24/06/2021 20:19

Chasing time from hour to hour
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers

80's

Fleamaker123 · 24/06/2021 20:35

I can call you
Got your number
Share my life with you a thousand miles away

80's

shinynewapple21 · 24/06/2021 20:54

Correct midge, it's by Lotus Eaters, correct to Roxy Music Honey, and Depeche mode Dexter

NeedToKnow101 · 24/06/2021 20:56

NeedToKnow101 · 24/06/2021 21:04

I think that guess might be wrong...

NeedToKnow101 · 24/06/2021 21:06

Ok just to put you lot out of your misery...
8Cause I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you)
Each and every day
No more work (No more work)
Just a lot of play

Is Big Fun, the Gap Band

10.	Same old story back again

She's not a lover, she's just a friend

Angie Stone, Wish I didn't miss you

midgemagneto · 24/06/2021 21:17

Oh well no wonder

NeedToKnow101 · 24/06/2021 21:18

@midgemagneto

Oh well no wonder
😂😂😂 I did think Steve it maybe Honey might have got them. I don't why but I always think Honey knows my soul songs. Then she doesn't 😂
NeedToKnow101 · 24/06/2021 21:18

Or, not if.

Honeyroar · 24/06/2021 21:23

I’ve never heard of Angie Stone, let alone the song. Sorry.

Fleamaker123 · 24/06/2021 21:23

@NeedToKnow101

I think that guess might be wrong...
Not Turning Japanese sorry

You will definitely know it!!
