  1. I'm truly sorry, but it sounds like a wonderful thing
80s

2.Don't be told about what you want
Don't be told about what you need
No future, no future, no future for you
70s

3.She dashed by me in painted-on jeans
80s

4."Let them eat cake", she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
70s

5.Ooh
You can dance
70s

There is a theme!

Hello missed these again!
Don't know if anyone got No.1 @Rogue1001MNer but it's The Smiths- The Queen is dead.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 06/06/2022 14:59

Correct with the Smiths @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

Is no 3 still outstanding?

Otherwise all of mine got, I think

IanOsenfrote · 07/06/2022 17:48

Another 10 from the 80s, one song from each year

1 I was so sure, it wouldn't upset me so I closed the door, why did you let me

2 Stepping out from a back shop poster, wishing life wouldn't be so long

3 Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi

4 Conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching

5 I wanna love you, wanna hug you, wanna squeeze you, too

6 Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?

7 And the stars reach down and tell us there's always one escape

8 They say they can break you again and again, if life is a radio, turn up to ten

9 So what do you want of me, got no words of sympathy

10 I know you want me, sometimes it hurts but you know that some things are best left never said

Good luck.

becausetrampslikeus · 07/06/2022 18:26

5 is I'm so excited by a group of female singers

@becausetrampslikeus

The Pointer Sisters but it is not any song by them. Sorry.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 07/06/2022 18:31

10 I know you want me, sometimes it hurts but you know that some things are best left never said

Transvision Vamp - Baby I don't care

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 07/06/2022 18:32

7 And the stars reach down and tell us there's always one escape

Spandau Ballet, Through The Barricades

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 07/06/2022 18:33

5 is Chaka Khan, I feel for you.

I originally thought Pointer Sisters too.

IanOsenfrote · 07/06/2022 18:35

@dexterslockedintheshedagain

All your guesses are correct.

Rogue1001MNer · 07/06/2022 18:46

4 is echo and the bunnymen.

Give me a sec while I sing to the chorus....

Rogue1001MNer · 07/06/2022 18:47

The cutter!!!!!

Rogue1001MNer · 07/06/2022 18:47

9 is crash by the primitives

Rogue1001MNer · 07/06/2022 18:49

Good flurry!

shinynewapple22 · 07/06/2022 21:02

3 Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi

I think this is Wham Rap

CarnageAtTheAirport · 07/06/2022 21:05

Number 2 is Fade to Grey - Visage .

IanOsenfrote · 08/06/2022 08:26

@Rogue1001MNer @CarnageAtTheAirport @shinynewapple22

Well done. All your guesses are correct.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/06/2022 09:25

The ones I knew have been guessed! Can't think what the others are.

IanOsenfrote · 08/06/2022 10:30

Just 1, 6 and 8 to guess

Honeyroar · 08/06/2022 11:20

Six is Alive and kicking - Simple minds
Eight is Crazy Nights - Kiss

No idea what one is!

IanOsenfrote · 08/06/2022 11:41

@Honeyroar You are correct in your guesses but putting my pedants hat on, the proper titles is Crazy crazy nights. Pedant hat off again.

Honeyroar · 08/06/2022 11:54

😄😄I should know better. It’s on one of my old Now albums. Never liked the track much though.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/06/2022 11:57

Extra clue for no. 1??!!

IanOsenfrote · 08/06/2022 12:27

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/06/2022 11:57

Extra clue for no. 1??!!

The song is from 1980 and is by a female group who were quite big at the time.
