She told me that her dad was loaded
I said, in that case I'll have rum and Coca-Cola

(90's)

The questions run too deep

Now I went down to London Town
And I had some fun in the underground

(60's)

I know this one, can't think of the tune!

Sitting with the thinker
Trying to work it out
It's a traffic jam of the brain
Makes you wanna scream and shout (80s)

From the Tyne to where to the Thames does flow
My English brothers and sisters know
It's not a case of where you go
It's race and creed and colour (90s)

And here I stay
For ever and a day
With countless counting people
Counting time (90s)

He's got a degree in economics
Maths, physics and bionics
He thinks that I'm a cabbage
'Cause I hate University Challenge (80s)

And even when you're healthy
And your colour schemes delight
Down below those dandy clothes
You're just a shade too white (80s)

Number 4 is The Undertones - my perfect cousin

TheSingingDefective · 21/12/2023 12:31

@ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea correct

@Honeyroar right artist, wrong song

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me Heaven, then put me through Hell

DoubleTime · 22/12/2023 08:40

You're begging me to go, then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
