Some really easy opening lines:

Underground, overground
70s

Life is a mystery,
Everyone must stand alone
80s

Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face
Brush shoulders with the stars
80s

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
80s

I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
80s

Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
70s

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
70s

Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're ok
If they don't give me proper credit
80s

A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
80s

One, two
One, two, three, uh

Yeah

I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit too leisurely
80s

1 is the wombling song

2 Madonna like a prayer

3 club Tropicana Wham

5 stand and deliver Adam and the ants

6 village people YMCA

7 Carly Simon you're so vain

8 Madonna material girl

9 dire straits Romeo and Juliet

Thank you Coffee for posting some lines I could actually guess

TBF I did know some that were posted the other day but they were all guessed by the time I looked

Well done Shiny!

Nos 4 & 10 still outstanding . . . .

4 is little lies. Fleetwood mac

10 is raspberry beret. Prince

Grrrr. I knew loads of others but I've been busy today. I hate missing lyrics!

And I hate, hate, HATE you buggers getting ones I know.
This is, fortunately, reflected in the awarding of points, which helps slightly. But not much

Evening all.

Hope everyone had/having a lovely Saturday.

What have I missed?

Correct Rogue, well done 👍😊

@Fleamaker123 like Terry Hall, my lips are sealed.

I've just looked properly. I knew all bloody 10 glares at shiny

I have lyrics for you guys, but they'll have to wait til I'm at the computer tomorrow.

Too tired right now. Done quite a lot of driving today and the roads were BUSY. You can tell it's not lockdown any more!

Too tired right now. Done quite a lot of driving today and the roads were BUSY. You can tell it's not lockdown any more!

I know what you mean about the roads though, we went out the other afternoon , mid-week and not near a town and there was amazing amount of traffic .'

I wasn’t snoozing shiny, I was busy

Some truly abysmal songs here.

Have fun, and happy ear worms x x x

1. Good-bye, please don't cry

'Cause we both know that I'm not What you need 70s and then 80s for one singer but a bigger hit for a different singer in the 90s. Can you name both?

1. Tell me why are we so blind to see

That the ones we hurt are you and me? 90s

1. I took for granted, all the times

That I thought would last somehow I hear the laughter, I taste the tears But I can't get near you now 80s

1. You can see that he's mischievous, mysterious and devious

When he circulates amongst the people in the place But once you know he's fun, and something of a genius He gives a grin that goes around from face to face to face 90s

1. Hanging off the curb, looking all disturbed

80s

1. Got your lipstick mark

Still on your coffee cup 90s

1. Babe, I know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for a higher ground

'Cause when you're half-way up, you're always half-way down 90s

1. Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh

Are you just having fun? Time's standing still I wait for some small clue 80s I think this one’s hard! On standby to give extra lyrics.

1. Our love wasn't perfect, I know

I think I know the score You say you love me, oh boy I can't ask for more 90s

10. Oh, I don't know why she's leaving
    Or where she's gonna go
    I guess she's got her reasons
    But I just don't want to know
    70s then 90s. 90s title for the points. If Coffee gives it, it’s treble points to everyone and quadruple for Coffee.

11. Our dreams are young and we both know
    They'll take us where we want to go
    Hold me now, touch me now
    I don't want to live without you
    80s for 2 artists I think and then a hit again in the 00’s. Can you name them all? The song is woeful in each version!

12. He came to town like a midwinter storm
    He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
    90s Bonus points if you know where the group are from.

13. I took a crazy chance
    80s

14. Girl think about it before you leave
    90s. Ooooo. This is hard too.

Happy Sunday evening peeps.

Evening. Rogue is there any I would know? If there is, can you help?

Yes needtoknow

And no.

I'll post more lyrics later if necessary

10 - Is Living Next Door to Alice - by Smokey

There was also a version called "Who the fuck is Alice' maybe in the 90s
