Late to the party again but 12 is Let’s Dance by Chris Rea (not as good as Stainsby Girls).

Thank you!

Hmm Chris Rea is def from NE. So the DD link - Is there someone in DD who originated from the NE too? For some reason I thought the Lighthouse family were American . Presumably not .

Here’s a few to have a go at….

1 He came like a hero from the factory floor, with the sun and moon as gifts

2 I hope to god you’re not as dumb as you make out

3 You’ll take me home where the magic’s from and I’ll be with you

4 Swing low in a dark glass hour, you turn and cower, see it turn to dust

5 On promenades where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannequins

6 I’ll play you old 45s that now mean nothing to me

7 I’ve already been burnt before, once but never again

8 Pretend you’re high, pretend you’re bored, pretend you’re anything just to be adored

9 He’s got this dream about buying some land, he’s gonna give up the booze and the one night stands

10 Twenty years and a loaded gun, funerals, fear and the war ain’t won

1 big country chance

midgetastic · 06/10/2022 21:31

Possibly also orange juice

Well there's a girl that lives up the block
Back in school she could turn all the boys heads

Im afraid it isn’t that song (you’re thinking of Glory Days by Springsteen).

Hint - No. 10 was a collaboration between a band and a member of one of the UK’s most successful punk bands. Early 90s.

midgetastic · 06/10/2022 22:09

Ha no

I am causing confusion again - it was another set of lyrics in response to rogue s failure

Don't mind me !

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 06/10/2022 22:33

I've missed all these again!

Honeyroar · 06/10/2022 22:50

Is no 4 an awesome tune that was a Levi’s advert?
Something like Inside by stiltskin?

Honeyroar · 06/10/2022 22:53

Imnotswallowingthat · 07/10/2022 06:29
