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

It's too close for comfort,
this heat has got right out of hand

80s

I want to be where the sun warms the sky

80s

And I don't want to spend my whole life,
just waiting for you

80s

La Isla Bonita- Madonna

Don't want another night on my own

Late 70s

And I love to live so pleasantly

60s

There is a theme!

Correct @shinynewapple22

Lazing on a sunny afternoon
Is it The Kinks?

Correct @shinynewapple22

Correct Fleamaker for all yours. Only no2 left of mine.

@Honeyroar I knew 3 and 4, can't think what 2 is.

Cruel summer bananarama

Walking on sunshine, katrina and the waves.

Is the theme summer/sun?

Not sure what your no 2 is honey

The last of my outstandings:

8.Ooo baby here I am
Signed, Sealed, Delivered.
But who sang it???? (Clue, it WASN'T Aretha!)
N2K knew it was Stevie Wonder

1. You went away and left me long time ago

Now you're knocking on my door etc I Hear You Knocking, Dave Edmunds got by Carnage

3.Prosecution you must fear
Win or lose you got to get your share
You've got you mind set on a dream
You can get it though hard it may seem now.
Listen.
Rome was not built in a day,
Opposition will come your way.
But the harder the battle you see,
It's the sweeter the victory, now!
Jimmy Cliff, The Harder They Come

7.Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door?
Because the truth, it's hard to swallow, that's what the war of love is for
It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you
Question, The Moody Blues

17.Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm goin' back to the place I love
Yellow River, got by Shiny, but who sang it?
No one know who sang this?
Christie

23. When no-one else can understand me When everything I do is wrong You give me hope and consolation You give me strength to carry on Wonder of You, Elvis, got by honey

Correct for Bananarama and Katrina and the Waves @Rogue1001MNer , also correct for summer/ sun/ heat theme. Hope everyone manages to enjoy the holidays and get some sun. Not much heat and sun up here in Scotland just now!
Still a couple to guess.

I could run away
But I'd rather stay
In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day ('84)

Style council - you're the best thing

Correct Shiny 🙂

A bit more of my outstanding one-

i always gave my best
Your memory serves you so badly
Some people kill for less
But I’d still die for you gladly

Is that (sp!!!) Cherry-o cherry-o baby.

Ub40?

Walking on sunshine - Katrina and the waves.

Level 42 - leaving me now.

Correct @CarnageAtTheAirport but @Rogue1001MNer got it first!
