Well as nobody got 5 or 10 they were...

5 Warm Wet Circles - Marillion
10 Good Morning Britain - Aztec Camera feat. Mick Jones

How about these ?

1 * *My love has taken a tumble, ooh, but I'm still standing

2* *You know you only hurt yourself out of spite, I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight

3 I don't wanna die, But I ain't keen on living either

4 I can't stay on your morphine, Cause it's making me itch

5 A friend of a friend he got beaten, He looked the wrong way at a policeman

6 Now you're chained to the cooker, Making currant buns for tea

7 And if you live by the rules of "it's over", Then I'm sure that that makes sense

8 Caroline laughs and it's raining all day, She loves to be one of the girls

9 I figured it made sense, Building me a fence

10 I'd put myself first, And make the rules as I go

Honeyroar · 14/10/2022 14:09

9.Abba - winner takes it all.
8.Pretty in Pink - Psycadelic Furs (sp!)
7.Dido- White Flag.
5.I predict a riot (hmm, the killers?)
1.Wet wet wet - Sweet little mystery.

A couple of others I should know too!

Honeyroar · 14/10/2022 14:10

Oh!
4.Pink - Just like a pill.

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light

RiftGibbon · 21/10/2022 22:54

^ My post above , as a clue, not a UK band.

midgetastic · 22/10/2022 00:34

I don't hear anything sorry

Rogue1001MNer · 22/10/2022 12:36

Not speaking to me either, @RiftGibbon

Here's some.

There's kind of a theme. Kind of.

Rogue1001MNer · 22/10/2022 12:39

1.Happy days are here again
The time is right for makin' friends
Let's get together, how 'bout a quarter to ten?
Come tomorrow, let's all do it again
70s

2.Oh daddy dear, you know you're still number one
80s

3.Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up
Go out and smash it, like, oh my god
Jump off that sofa, let's kick it off
00s

4.You tease me with your loving to play hard to get
Cause you do know that I want you
You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky
And you do know that I want you

5.Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice
80s

6.Electric word, life
80s

7.And when I hold you in my arms
My love won't do you no harm
60s

8.It's good to be wise when you're young
'cause you can only be young but the once

Many versions spanning many decades
