Indeed. thumbup

1.) "Just hold my hand, while I come to a decision on this,"

2.) "Her escape was so urgent, she dropped her detergent,"

3.) "Its important to me, that I don't see you laughing at me,"

15.) "Its not for money and its not for fame. I just can't explain, sometimes its lonely,"

19.) "There is no profit in deceit. Honest men know revenge does not taste sweet,"

20.) "They've got steel, its so cool. Get angry at the weekend then go back to school,"

Small clue; 2,3 & 15 are all one hit wonders. (I think.) smile

Having gone back through the thread I notice that despite going in hard on the 70's one hit wonders this time, I am beginning to repeat myself on some of these. Need to try harder for the next one.

Until the next time....

BANG!

1.) "When you kiss me. On that midnight street, sweep me off my feet, singing ain't this life so sweet,"

2.) "You marry him, your father will condone you, how about that now? You marry me, your father will disown you!"

3.) "Last night, I was taking a walk along the river. And I saw him together with a young girl,"

4.) "Remember when we were such fools and so convinced and just too cool,"

5.) "With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats, you can't say we're satisfied,"

6.) "They all gather round me, they seem to know my name. We laugh. Tell a few jokes. But it still doesn't ease my pain,"

7.) "Now its not like me to say the right thing but you could have called to let me know. I checked your number twice, don't understand it. So I went home,"

8.) "Knock down the old grey wall! Be a part of it all. Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do,"

9.) "Would you stop playing with that radio of yours?! I'm trying to get to sleep!"

10.) "Well all my friends are turning green, you're a magicians assistant in a dream,"

11.) "Its a word for what you do, in a world of broken rules. She found a place for you, along her chain of fools,"

12.) "She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a water colour in the rain,"

13.) "So..so...so....so... because you can't say nothing, you shot me down with a push of your button. But I'm out, I'm gone, I'll tell you now, I'll keep it on & on,"

14.) "And I wait for them to interrupt, me drinking from my broken cup and ask me to open up the gate for you,"

15.) "She's leaving now because I just heard the slamming of the door, the way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before,"

16.) "I need to feel I'm getting stronger. As long as I'm moving it feels true,"

17.) "He was a just a friend of mine I'd run into from time to time,"

18.) "She looks like the Sunday comics, she thinks she's Brenda Starr,"

19.) "She asked me if we could be friends and I said oh Honey baby that's a dead end. You know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied,"

20.) "Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely. All of my hopes, fading away. I've longed for love, like everyone else does. I know I'll keep searching, even after today,"

Just in time for coffee break too.

You know the rules.

Go!
