3 is Severina - The Mission

Honeyroar · 15/09/2023 22:15

9 really rings a bell for me too. I keep getting Lost Werkend, which I don’t think it is.

And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine

LauraNorda · 16/09/2023 19:23

Extra lines but they do make it easier

1 And the captain tackles with the problems of the hows and whys
and he can see no reasons cause there are no reasons (70s)

3 Slowing they decend through a darkened sky, to the night again (80s)

6 If you want my love, come and get it girl, and if you want to be my friend through thick and thin (80s)

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 16/09/2023 19:32

1 is I don't like Mondays - boomtown rats. You are right - it makes it a lot easier !

BlushingCaligula · 16/09/2023 19:41

Outstanding ones with some extra lyrics - also changed an error in no.4

2 It won’t take you long
To learn the new smile
You have to adapt
Or you’ll be out of style

4 Kill the king when love is the law
And then we'll turn round

5 I thought, "Oh God, my chance has come at last”
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

6 We were so young then
We thought that everything we could possibly do was right
Then we moved stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to

7 the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark
It scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark
Missing line with title in it
Go on and hurt me, then we'll let it drop

9 And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me

10 I walked the ward for you, babe
A thousand miles for you
Now who dried my tears of pain, babe?
A million times for you, for you
I'd sell my soul for you, babe

Honeyroar · 16/09/2023 20:47

Ooh 10 is Billy Idol- rebel yell.

No 9 is still doing my head in!
