I think 2/ is Aztec Camera, but can't recall the song yet
and 5/ Kings of the Wild Frontier

Yep it was Aztec Camera & Mick Jones, song is Good Morning Britain.
Correct on the other one too.

Extra Clue :

Close the door
Lay down upon the floor
And by candlelight
Make love to me through the night

DoubleTime · 22/12/2023 18:39

Extra Clue :
You're begging me to go, then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know, do I stand in your way

I think this is The Corrs .

Dexterwontstopfarting · 22/12/2023 22:32

Yup Shiny - Runaway I think it's called

DoubleTime · 22/12/2023 22:42

Well done @ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea and @Dexterwontstopfarting its The Corrs : Runaway

DoubleTime · 22/12/2023 22:43

So that just leaves this one, with extra line -

You're begging me to go, then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know, do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you've had?

1 You got me coming upstairs with answers All of which I deny

2 Watching through windows--you're wondering If I'm OK

3 I should have told him I'd do anything if I could hold him

4 Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

5 There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you

6 The passion's so complete
It's never ending

DoubleTime · 23/12/2023 10:35

2/ Time After Time - Cindy Lauper
5/ How Soon is Now - The Smiths

HarrietPoole · 23/12/2023 14:21

@DoubleTime @ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea @LauraNorda @TheSingingDefective

All correct!

Amendment to number 1:
"You got me coming up with answers"
Not upstairs - bloody autocorrect

HarrietPoole · 23/12/2023 14:22

@Dexterwontstopfarting yep - no idea how it popped into my head 😊

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 23/12/2023 17:18

Now I don't think I can remember
A colder, lonelier December
And I find myself staring out the window

2010's

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 23/12/2023 17:18

And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness

70s

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 23/12/2023 17:19

Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love

80s

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 23/12/2023 17:20

I didn't bother with the mistletoe
You won't be here to kiss me

70s

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 23/12/2023 17:22

Under the ground there is the sound of a symphony
The lights are low, the fire is bright
