A clue for my number 9- this is by a band but was a hit for someone else- a woman. A regular poster on here would definitely get it I think! I can post more lyrics on my 3 outstanding.

Belinda Carlisle - Heaven is a place on Earth

I missed yours, just had a look - number 9 is Hand in Glove by The Smiths

I'm Not Scared was actually written by Pet Shop Boys and their own version was on one of their albums.

Sounds a bit too obscure for me @RiftGibbon !

Correct!

Ah that makes sense now, sounds like a Pet shop boys line! Yes Patsy Kensit's band, I thought she was stunning then, loved Lethal Weapon too!

Still 10 and 12 of mine to get.

10 is Bette Davis Eyes. I can never remember the singer! Kim something??

Kim Carne. I'm such a tagalong 😳

Here are those that haven't been guessed yet, with a few extra lines added:

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

(3) Yeah. she knows how to move, how to rock...And she's stoned like a flash in the night ... Every time I make a move, she tells me no. (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/ But you/ You make things that get along/ Turn out so wrong. (70s)

(5) Mother phoned up last night she was going spare/She was in a temper pulling out her hair.../I said to me mother let me have a talk to dad/
So he comes to the telephone he wasnt half mad (late 70s)

(10) I was alone on the road and your love was so confusing/
All my teachers told me, I had myself to blame/ But in the grip of sensual illusion/ The sweet unknowing unified the name. (2010s),

I was in search of a good time
Just running my game
(80s)

That's Billy Ocean but I can't remember the song name, its the one about getting into his car....

Correct @Honeyroar and @NeedToKnow101 for Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes.

Just one more of mine to get- clue- eyes are in the title too, male singer who is back in the charts just now.

4 - See My Baby Jive by Wizzard/Roy Wood

5 is a Chas n Dave song, something like I Don't Care if he Comes Round Here

The only male singer from the 80s who is in the charts at the moment is Elton John - so I am going to guess at Blue Eyes, but it is a complete guess !

Correct @Imnotswallowingthat for Blue eyes by Elton John, I thought that clue would give it away! 😁

Apologies, hadn't realised how obscure mine was. I must have heard it on the radio a few times and taken it to be more popular.

Under the Milky Way - The Church

1. Through the hard times and the good - 90s

   2. Bite your lip, And take a trip
      Though there may be wet road ahead 70s

   3. Why not think about times to come
      And not about the things that you've done 70s

   4. I got a taste of love in a simple way 80s

   5. Money doesn't grow on trees
      But babies come from ladies 80s

   6. Somebody new 70s

   7. There's vomit on his sweater already
      mom's spaghetti 00

   8. Work is never over 00

   9. You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red 80s

   10. It's up to us to choose
       Whether we win or lose 00s

I've posted the lyrics to song 5 before and they've never been got. Bonus half point for whoever gets them 😜

@NeedToKnow101

1 - Praise You by Fatboy Slim
4 - I'm Still Standing by Elton John

Number 5 is definitely a song that Terry Hall sang on, I can picture him singing that line in my head, so its either a Specials or Fun Boy 3 track. Trouble is I can't recall the name of the song !

Correct artist, wrong song.

That would explain why I can’t get any of them N2K!!

Carribean Queen ?

7. There's vomit on his sweater already
mom's spaghetti 00

Eminem, Lose yourself

Correct to 1 and 4 and correct so far to 5 🙌🙌 furthest Andy one has got with that one. all I need now is the song title.
