The only ones i could guess at were Eurithmics and  kate bush running up that hill.

And they were because of the clues,got nothing from the lyrics.might both be wrong still.

@zep73 @Essan @Matt221 @tcgram @Stiff @susieice @Arbenol @jethrofloyd 

New music quiz started.

1..

I was always so afraid for my uptown friends to see her
Afraid one day when I was grown, that I would be her.

2..

And we take it down
To the end of town
Where they have control
But they're losing touch when the lights go out.

3..

Looking back at sunsets on the East side
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly.

4..

If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)

5..

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally.

6.

You still remember other days
When every head was high
I watched that pride be torn apart
Beneath a darker sky.

7.

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

8.

Been thinking about you
I just couldn't wait to see
Fling my arms around you
As we fall in ecstasy.

9.

Feeling unknown and you're all alone
Flesh and bone by the telephone.

@diddyman68 you (once again) managed to make a list that had me clueless :D

I hope this one, I made, isn't as hard. I tried to make it easier than the last.

It's songs from four decades, 60's - 90's, two from each. There's one cover among them, but it was a bigger hit than the original. I've tried to make the list chronological.

 

1.
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn

2.
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed

3.
Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing here that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
No need to say please to no man
For a happy tune

4.
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
She said, "Little boy won't you come home with me?"

5.
Oh, can't you see me standing here?
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Oh, can't you see what I mean?

6.
And while you're in this world
The fuzz gonna come and claim you
But you mo' better wise
When the buzz gonna come and take you away
Take you away, take you away

7. (cover)
Wake up, got another day to get
Through now, got another man to see
Gotta call him on the telephone way-o
Gotta find a piece of paper
Sit down, got another letter to write
Think hard, gotta get a letter just right
Little ringing on the telephone, whoa no
Gotta write another letter

8.
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face

 

Again, please write my name in your answers, like this: @zep73
