133 = The Pogues - Song of the Damned (??guessing on the title, but pretty sure of the group) BTW, my 2 as-yet unnamed tunes: 168).

182 = “Things Can Only Get Better” by that synth god, Howard Jones. **183** : You keep your distance with a system of touch and gentle persuasion. **184** : You could have a bumper car bumping…this amusement never ends. **185** : I must be kidding, the Bahamas are islands. Anyhow, that’s not important. **186** : And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon…and that you miss me sometimes when you’re alone in your room ---
