It was such a joy reading old threads, I've gone all old school.

There is a theme

  1. I don't know why I did the things I did
    I don't know why I said the things I said
    80s

  2. Sink me in a river of tears
    This could be the best place yet
    But you must overcome your fears
    80s

  3. To taste the sweet
    I face the pain
    80s

  4. Then you say, "go slow"
    And I fall behind
    80s

  5. Love me one time
    Could not speak
    Love me one time
    Yeah, my knees got weak
    60s

  6. So we take each other's hand
    'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
    80s

  7. Baby make a speech, Star Wars flyNeighbors just shine it onBut if a night falls and a bomb fallsWill anybody see the dawn?
    80s

  8. Now you always say
    That you want to be free
    But you'll come running back (said you would baby)
    You'll come running back (I said so many times before)
    You'll come running back to me
    60s

  9. Madness takes its toll
    But listen closely
    Not for very much longer
    70s

  10. The place where I come from is a small town
    They think so small
    They use small words
    But not me
    I'm smarter than that
    80s

  11. Non stop dancing the bus stop
    To the funky music
    90s

  12. Design a rhyme I just won't fear
    Back to react, enough is enough
    Let me ask you a question –
    90s

  13. I thought the sun rose in your eyes
    And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
    60s

  14. You're such a
    Hot temptation!
    90s

  15. And you better start swimmin'
    Or you'll sink like a stone
    60s

  16. Oh baby, baby
    90s

16 must be Britney Spears, Hit me baby one more time.

This is incorrect, but all the others are right coffee and midge.

Well done and correct with the theme

I can see the spacing has gone awry with a couple of them.
Sorry about that.

I'll repost those ones to hopefully make it easier

Rogue1001MNer · 26/08/2022 09:08

I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
80s

Rogue1001MNer · 26/08/2022 09:09

Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn?
80s

You'll come running back (I said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me
