One more bumper edition before it's back to football. Put these lyrics into your karaoke brain and pluck out the song title and artist who had a UK hit with it . As usual, no posting answers please once you've Googled the lyrics to satisfy your itch. 5 seems about a reasonable limit before taking a break and giving others a chance. I'm not keeping scores but keep your own score and post it on here if you think you know more than 5. Hopefully there's something in there for everyone, some easy, some a bit harder from the last 5 decades of the 20th Century.
