Song and the artist please from which the following lyrics come. Most of them are from the 70s/80s. No googling.  :D


1) Children behave
2) The 21st century’s yesterday
3) Your poison letter, your telegram, just goes to show you don’t give a damn!
4) Tore down the house of commons in your brand new shoes
5) Turned away from it all like a blind man
6) He could preach the bible like a preacher
7) The fire in your eyes keeps me alive
8) The love we share seems to go nowhere
9) I’ve never seen you look like this without a reason
10) And though I’m really trying, I think I may start crying
11) He’s got a fur lined sheepskin jacket, my ma says it cost a packet
12) And the sweet silver song of a lark
13) We walk together, were walking down the street
14) One man on a lonely platform
15) So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favour
16) came in from the city walked into the door
17) it’s not the way that you look, its not the way that you smile
18) will you stand above me look my way never love me
19) its 6:15, that’s the time that its always been
20) this is a chemist not a joke shop
21) If I were to say to you can you keep a secret
22) Near a tree by a river there’s a hole in the ground
23) So we can be one, be one together
24) Look at me standing here on my own again
25) Poor old Jonny Ray sounded sad upon the radio
26) Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it’s very nice
27) These are my salad days, slowly being eaten away
28) Into the sea you and me
29) If they were me and I was you would you like a present too
30) Que’est ce que c’est….run run run run run runaway
31) Hop in my Chrysler it’s as big as a whale and it’s about to set sail
32) Every girl wants to be her man but I’ll wait my dear ‘til it’s my turn
33) Cos I’m gonna make you see, there’s nobody else here, no one like me
34) Were leaving together but still it’s farewell
35) Ah here we are and here we are and here we go
36) There’s freedom within there is freedom without
37) Gina works the diner all day
38) This morning at four fifty I took her rather nifty
39) Some of them want to use you
40) Due to lack of interest tomorrow is cancelled!

27 is Gold by Spandau ballet, I like the "sorry that the chairs are all worn" line as well. 29 is Altered Images happy birthday. Claire Grogan was something of a teenage fantasy back in those days, despite the scar on her face which looked like someone had glassed her. I think people have already got em all though.

Here's one. "SOS calls caress you from market stalls", anyone who gets that deserves a prize.

Here's another, easier this time "cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice".

And me last for now, "Don't be fooled by what you see, don't be fooled by what you hear. Don't crack up, bend your brain, see both sides, and throw off your mental chains".
