Back to the lyrics this week…name the band and the song:

1. I can’t help recalling how it felt
to kiss and hold you tight

line, or will you catch him on
the rebound?

3. Watching every motion in this
foolish lover’s game

brighter than Doris Day

5. Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream, red,
gold and green

10. It belongs to them, let’s give it back

11. Everything you do is quite angelicate

12. Rolling like thunder under the covers

13. I don’t know what you expect staring into the TV set

14. My eyes dilate, my lips go green

15. I touch you once, I touch you twice

Have fun!
