Is this Prefab Sprout, Cars and girls?

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!

🤦‍♀️

Hi @ddl1 are you able to provide an extra line or so from your ungot lyrics please ?

shinynewapple22 · 23/10/2022 20:16

Some more on Goodytwoshoes' theme

The heat of passion is such a beautiful thing
80s

I've got a feeling in my knees
It's a feeling only you can please
70s

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
70s

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off a heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun
2000s

You got a most persuasive tongue
You promise all kinds of fun
70s
(Some proper dodgy lyrics in that one!)

Heart if Glass - Blondie

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 23/10/2022 20:35

Some more on the theme too!

  1. We can go wherever we please
And everything depends upon How near you stand to me
  1. Roll you like you were dice
    Until you come out blue

  2. As the flames rose to her Roman

    nose

  3. When the morning comes
    I'll be far away
    And I say

All 80s.

Hi @ddl1 are you able to provide an extra line or so from your ungot lyrics please ?

(1) And don't forget your blues/Your own canoe now you'll have to row (40s/50s)

(2) Every other day of the week is fine.../You can find me crying all of the time (60s)

(3) Every time I make a move, she tells me no./ And she's stoned like a flash in the night (70s)

(4) Too bad, so long, it's driving me mad/The top down on my car/ I don't suppose that everyone knows/Exactly who you are (70s)

(5) Mother phoned up last night she was going spare./ She was in a temper pulling out her hair (late 70s)

(6) Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done? (early 80s) (answered)

(7) A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies. (80s) (answered)

(8) The human heart a captive in the snow (80s) (answered)

(9) She was educated, but could not count to 10 (2010s) (answered)

(10) I was alone on the road and your love was so confusing/ All my teachers told me, I had myself to blame (2010s),
