I answered 4

Or is that a different 4

the numbering messed up.
one is 4 full stop
the other is 4 bracket.

There are twelve songs to get, but (in the words of spinal tap) it goes up to 11

it auto corrected me without me noticing!
But both 4s have been correctly guessed.

question me further, and I'll auto correct the spreadsheet, midge, and it won't be pretty!

Hi, may I join?

I think no. 10 is World Shut Your Mouth. Julian Cope?

@faw2009 Welcome to the thread 🖐

Rogue - I'm on the app and I can't see two different sets of numbering - perhaps this is showing differently on the website .

welcome to the thread @faw2009. You are correct.

Oh I see - yes that is confusing .

10) Good lookin' so refined
Say, wouldn't you like to know what's goin' on in my mind?
60s (one for Dex)

Hey big spender!

Stampedes through the thread knocking the regulars out like ninepins

knocks everybody else flying

Hellooooo @Imnotswallowingthat
Welcome back, welcome back.
Would you like a cup of tea? Some biscuits? My firstborn?

tramples on a couple of regulars

please excuse the mess, I think N2K left the cleaning stuff over on the last thread

I put some lyrics up just for you 💕💕💕

I'll repost them for your guessing delight

Here you go

Correct guesses by dex and swallowing, btw

I have more lyrics to post up later for those with less.... niche.... tastes, btw

For the ones who’ve been at work today.
There is a (possibly slightly predictable theme!)

a) How long, how long must we sing this song?
80s

b) You know I'm such a fool for you
90s

c) I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind
80s

d) I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over 'cause I'm all alone
70s

e) But man, I still think them cats are crazy
70s

f) I can not lie
From you, I can not hide
And I'm losing the will to try
00s

g) I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't see the flame
80s

h) The Telex machine is kept so clean
70s

i) I love you
is all that you can't say
90s (but it’s a cover because they have no talent)

j) And I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit a while with me
00s (<< not envy)

k) Ooh so come on and hold me tight
80s

l) I say, hey boy, sittin' in your tree
Mummy always wants you to come for tea (oh-oh)
Don't be shy, straighten up your tie
90s

m) We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
00s

D- teenage kicks - undertones

h- Boomtown Rats - Don’t like Mondays

A- Sunday Bloody Sunday- U2.

M- Snow Patrol - chafing cars
(can’t change that Brittney even though I’ve noticed it, because I love it!)

e) But man, I still think them cats are crazy
70s

Thin Lizzy
The boys are back in town

Boyzone - Sorry (agree about the talent, or rather lack thereof)

Yes, chafing cars is a rather amusing thought

b) You know I'm such a fool for you
90s

Linger - the cranberries
