Easy theme here!

  1. There's a weapon
That we must use In our defence
  1. You keep your distance via the system of touch
  1. I follow you around but you can't see
  1. So I lay down in the darkness
With the beer and coffee stains
  1. Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
  1. I've got this feeling that won't subside
  1. In my young life and I know something now
I've never tried to create a wow
  1. I spent all my time
Believing all the lies To keep my dreams alive

All 80s.

I may add some more later!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 23/10/2022 14:30

There shouldn't have been a big gap between the lines of the first one! 🤔

1 is Fun Boy 3 - Our Lips are Sealed

5 is Cutting Crew - Died in Your Arms Tonight

CarnageAtNumber10 · 23/10/2022 14:54

7 is Kiss me by Steven Tin Tin Duffy

CarnageAtNumber10 · 23/10/2022 14:55

CarnageAtNumber10 · 23/10/2022 14:58

3 Open your heart - Madonna

CarnageAtNumber10 · 23/10/2022 14:58

Rogue1001MNer · 23/10/2022 15:10

Theme is body

Rogue1001MNer · 23/10/2022 15:11

Rogue1001MNer · 23/10/2022 15:12

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 23/10/2022 15:35

Correct all so far and correct @Rogue1001MNer , the theme is body parts!
The full title of Stephen Duffy's song is Kiss me (with your mouth) which goes with the theme!
