You started this fire down in my soul

We'll all know the 80s version (it's was bloody played enough!) but I think it was a cover and may have been covered again

I live alone rent free
There's nothing to pay here.

Heartache Avenue
The Maisonettes.
Always reminds me of Crossroads for some reason. I'm sure someone in that group was either related to someone in that programme, or had been in it.

His lips are dry, his heart is gently pounding

Don't Stand So Close To Me. (Could've been a COVID anthem)

Dh says melvin and the blue notes
He says that simply red may have also covered one of their songs
He says we were singing the communard version

Never ever forget that
I've got you and you've got me, so
