That 70's song-- Name That Tune for old fogeys

BG10- People get lonely-- ain’t nothing new

“I Can Help” Billy Swan

f28) Timothy - the Buoys

I never figured LD2: “Some people value fortune and fame/I don’t care about 'em none” to be a stumper! How about if I give another line from the song:

“Place my livin’ lovin’ laughin’ bones in a bottle of alcohol.”

M7) I didn’t think, I never dreamed that I would find myself in love with you.

1985 by Paul McCartney & Wings

I never saw “quietly bored on a magic street corner” answered
Its 5:15 by the Who.

Heres a few…

Juji 1) Its been a long time, since I even thought of you.
Juji 2) I know that some of you won’t understand…milk blood to keep from running out.
Juji 3) When I was young my heart was young then too…
Juji 4) Who do they think they are? and where did they get that car?
Juji 5) Her name was Anne, and I’ll be damned if I recall her face.

Bonus point for anyone who can name the common denominator.

Juji 4) Who do they think they are? and where did they get that car?

– “The Boys in the Bright White Sportscar” by Trooper.

Juji 5) Her name was Anne, and I’ll be damned if I recall her face.

– “Carefree Highway” by Gordon Lightfoot

Common denominator? Ummm…just guessing here because I can’t get any of the others. But given Trooper and Lightfoot, I’d have to guess that they’re all Canadian?

Spoons, you are right with your guesses.

But there are two others…any guesses? Anyone?

Juji 2) I know that some of you won’t understand…milk blood to keep from running out.

Juji 3) When I was young my heart was young then too…

More lines on the two I have up here:

Suse1) Like corn in a field I cut you down, I threw the last punch too hard

Suse2) Ain’t no two ways about it, I just got to shout

Suse, you get the point for SP09. Actually, the title is just “The Morning After,” but you’re close enough. Nicely done; I was beginning to wonder if that would be answered.

I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been.”
A few more now:
