more lyrics for the ungot one from the other day.
Honey is a clue

80s

The light of deep regret
Let me see what I don't get
The light of deep regret
Let me see what I don't get

Pass through the heat
Come on, come on and
Pass through the heat

come on then, @Imnotswallowingthat
Let's see what you're made of.

You've already been awarded more points that anyone else on the spreadsheet.

I can’t stop to mess around

A distant man can't sympathize
He can't uphold his distant laws

Make a little floor for the 30 year old whore
Soon you'll be let out
Not for your ecstasy but
It's your autopsy

Ladies and gentlemen...how do.

The radio’s on ice
The telly's been banned

You know you can't cheat tomorrow
If you hide any sorrow

I smoked your last cigarette I say that someone else did

I don't even care if I look a mess
Don't want to be a sucker like all the rest

Well welcome to my basement flat
No windows to see through

Take a look deep in my eyes
See the emptiness inside
See where forest fires rage

Take your time
Who cares what fools say

You know I kinda liked the way he sung his cowboy songs

The hour is late and you know that time waits for no-one

Wears a coat that's black and long
He doesn't know that it's all wrong

I am the wicked boy
Who takes your favourite toy

Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
That you could be in love with almost anyone

Talk about the girl talk about the boy

This is The Honey thief. Oh no can't remember the band, from Glasgow, guitarist I think is Johnny McElhone, now in Texas!

Ah

Happy talk from South Pacific

Or is that not quite the version you meant ?

This popped up on my list with the word Scottish in it - since I live there I thought I'd give it a shot! Hipsway. But no way would I have got it without someone else identifying the song title first

Correct @ThisWomansWorkNeverEnds
Have a bonus point for lots of info (no idea whether you are right or not) and a further bonus point because your UN suggests KB to me.

<Shakes head very sadly>

Indeed not, midge, indeed not.

No points.

correct, @Iggi999 .

And here's some Scottish inspired lyrics for you.....

1. They told us tales
   They told us lies
   Don't they know
   They shouldn't have told us at all
   80s

2. You are one in a million
   And I love you so
   00s

3. Love's strange, so real in the dark
   Think of the tender things that we were working on
   80s

4. I hear you've never felt so alive
   So much desire beyond control
   90s

5. I wandered out in the world for years
   While you just stayed in your room
   80s

6. This disease is catching
   from victory to stone
   70s

7. And when the money, comes in for the work I do
   I'll pass almost every penny on to you
   80s

8. You were standing sultry in the rain
   If I could've held you
   I would've held you
   80s

9. And the world comes tumbling down
   80s

10. I like kicking in the gutter and
    80s

11. 'Cause I'm the one who's strong
    I've already been hurt before
    Once but never again
    80s

12. Should've told her that I can't linger
    There's a wedding ring on my finger
    70s

13. I was lost, now I'm found
    I believe in you, I've got no bounds
    90s

14. And he packs his lunch in a Sunblest bag
    80s

15. I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
    80s

1 bluebells young at heart

5 whole of the moon

Waterboys
