1. The Cure, Close to You 146 - I can hear it “You Got It all…over him”…This song used to crack me up (I pictured someone spilling something all over some guy) but I don’t know who sings it. **rexnervous** , I actually prefer the Patti Smith version, but I wasn’t sure if that was 80’s or earlier, so I figured someone would get the U2 version. I love that song! 150. You say I’m a dreamer We’re two of a kind Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we’ll never find 1. I’m a man - I’m a goddess I’m a man - Well I’m a virgin I’m a man - I’m a blue movie I’m a man - I’m a bitch I’m a man - I’m a geisha I’m a man - I’m a little girl And we make love together ---

My metal head husband chimed in: 1. Iron Maiden, Number of the Beast. I didn’t ask him about 84! Here’s an artist that for some reason hasn’t turned up here yet: 1. Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you. Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new. ---

Yes to The Jets, yes to The Cure, yes to Cutting Crew, yes to Squeeze. 150 = “Hold Me Now,” by The Thompson Twins. 151 = “Sex (I’m a)” by Berlin. 152 = “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper. **153** : Then I wake up and you’re not there Pain finds me everywhere Oh, but you don’t care **154** : I’ve been feeling so much older Frame me and hang me on the wall I’ve seen you fall into the same trap This thing is happening to us all **155** Gone, fractured but free We remain tender together Not so in love; it’s not so wrong We’re only human after all ---

#156: Is everything ok? I just thought I’d write a song To tell the world How much I miss you #157 First thing I remember when you came into my life I said I wanna get that girl, no matter what I do Well I guess I’ve been in love before And once or twice have been on the floor But I’ve never loved no one the way that I love you #158: You can’t stop what has begun Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion We all have a dark side, to say the least And dealing in death is the nature of the beast ---

Hrmph. Apparently, that was too easy - **bordelond** got 'em all.
