Come on in.
Post a few lyrics of a song from 70s, 80s, 90s with the decade & we will try to guess the song & artist.

✅

Oh sister! I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts at a travelling show
For love or money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money
(80s)

That’s Desire by U2 (the money money bit is the only it of the song I know!)

Correct !

A few more to keep you busy. There is no theme but all the songs do have one thing in common.

1 Dishing up love for a hungry world, tell me would that appease her (1985)

2 I just want to tell her goodbye (1972)

3 It's strange but it's true, hey
I can't get over the way you love me like you do (1984)

4 Let me hear you sing once more like you did before (1979)

5 I read in the papers that Gemini people will make it tonight (1971)

6 Somewhere 'cross the desert
Sometime in the early hours (1990)

7 It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction (1982)

8 I dream at night, I can only see your face (1983)

9 Telex or tell me, but it's always second-hand (1983)

10 A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray (1967)

3 queen I want to break free

7 I am heading Annie Lennox

10 Beatles penny lane

8 is the police

Arghh which one - the theme is songs I do t know the title too and are clearly in the wrong key for me to sing to anyone else for inspiration/accidental revealing of the title

( that's all keys btw )

Every breath you take

1. Dishing up love for a hungry world, tell me would that appease her (1985)

All guesses are correct. Just No5 to get plus the all-important thing all the songs have in common.

5 is Cilla Black, can't remember the exact song title but the lyric goes "Something tells me somethings gonna happen tonight...."

Correct. The title is 'Something tells me'.

So, what do all the songs have in common?

LauraNorda, I think you are going to have to give us a clue ....

Not much good at clues as I tend to give it away.

My last set was that the title only appeared in the song once.

All I can say is look at the titles and then look at the lyrics. The answer is along the same lines.

Good luck.

Think I've got the link - in all the songs, the first line is the song title?

We have a winner. Well done.

Well there is magic all around you
If I do say so myself

80's
