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

Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac

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

Yes to both (No 5 is actually called The Sideboard Song, but 'I don't care if he comes round here' is a chorus line.)

I assume the title is a reference to the line "got my beer on the sideboard here" !

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

The Jam - Move On Up

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 don't know any of these! Although feel I should know the first one.

I only recognised the sideboard song from the list above. Already been pipped to the post with Smiths songs.

How about this:
She lives in this house over there
Has her world outside it
Scrabbles in the earth with her fingers

11/Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?

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

As the flames rose to her Roman nose

Love both those songs
