Apologies if I've missed anyone. All welcome to come & play!

Keep forgetting to repost the lyrics I'm referring to!

The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
80s

Ultravox Vienna

They’re calling us together one is Barcelona - Freddie Mercury and the Spanish opera singer.

Gah Dex pipped me to Vienna!

No idea for the others.

Correct Dexter and Honey

No one has guessed my outstanding one so just going to give the answer. It's Tinseltown in the rain by The Blue Nile. If you haven't heard it look it up on YouTube, it's stunning!

@Rogue1001MNer

And his clinging wife doesn't understand 60s

Paperback Writer

@Rogue1001MNer

Don't think it bad

Hey Jude

Oh Hey Jude already guessed

Once I was lost and now I'm found
Then you turned my world around

80's

Look at all that shines
Baby’s down on the world
And she knows it
(90s)

(There’s a story about this song I’ve just read on another thread. I’ll tell it when someone has guessed it)

Are all my beatles ones got?

Shiny, is your theme Chinese Olympics related?

Or are they just cities?

@shinynewapple22

Some lyrics with a theme

Music plays, everyone's dancing closer and closer
Making friends and finding lovers
70s

Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea cup
Each tea lasts an hour
70s

They sit on the Metro
Xxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxx xx xxxxxx
Not like me and you
80s

Oh lady of the land
Come to me take my hand
Until tomorrow I’m your man
70s
(Bit of a cheat on the theme this one)

They're calling us together
Guiding us forever
Wish my dream would never go away
80s

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And baby if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
2010s

The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
80s

No 2 is streets of London. Don't know who sung it.

I'm too drunk to guess the other outstanding ones. Sorry

Ralph mctell in that case

Oh lady of the land
Come to me take my hand
Until tomorrow I’m your man
70s

Romeo, Mr Big

@Rogue1001MNer

Shiny, is your theme Chinese Olympics related?

Or are they just cities?

Cities, Rogue

I have no clue about the Chinese Olympics aside from pictures I've seen of people in hazmat suits !

Correct with streets of London, Rogue, Midge and Mr Big Romeo, MrsTophamHat

Couldn't find anyone who could regcognise it from my singing

Ah well

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

Yes

OK, since no-one has got them, here are my 2 outstanding.

I'd wash the sand off the shore,
Give you the world if it was mine

= Sade - Paradise

Arlington House, address: no fixed abode
An old man in a three-piece suit sits in the road

= Madness - One Better Day

It's so sad when you're young
To be told you're having fun

80s

I'll give you love baby not romance
