Final answers were (and I really don’t think it was that difficult Wim :stuck_out_tongue: )

The Wizard / Uriah Heep
Clue 7. My girl Friday, she no square / She like lotus blossom in her hair / Be-bop records and something new / Sometimes borrowed, but she’s never blue
Tokyo Joe / Bryan Ferry

The Dangerous Type / The Cars
Clue 11. Well, he sits up there on his leatherette / Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn’t had yet / When he thinks he wants a closer look / he gets out his little black telephone book
King Of Hollywood / The Eagles
Clue 12. was talking with a friend of mine / said a woman had hurt his pride / Told him that she loved him so / and turned around and let him go
Don’t Do Me Like That / Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Clue 14. And so she woke up / Woke up from where she was / Lying still / Said I gotta do something / About where we’re going

  1. Gimme your body / Gimme your mind / Open your heart / Pull down the blind

Art for Art’s Sake / 10cc / miss ellie

  1. It’s not in the way that you hold me / It’s not in the way you say you care / It’s not in the way you’ve been treating my friends / It’s not in the way that you stayed till the end

Hold The Line / Toto / Hoffy

  1. Jeremiah was a bullfrog / Was a good friend of mine

Joy to the World / Three Dog Night / miss ellie

  1. Watch out you might get what you’re after / Boom babies strange but not a stranger / I’m an ordinary guy

  1. It’s just heartbreaking / I should have known that it would let me down / It’s just a mind aching / I used to dream about this town

Gone Hollywood / Supertramp / Bloodstained Devils

  1. Waiting on a Sunday afternoon / For what I read between the lines / Your lies

Interstate Love Song / Stone Temple Pilots / McGoved

  1. Well I’ve been lookin’ real hard and I’m tryin’ to find a job / But it just keeps gettin’ tougher every day

Rock 'N Me / Steve Miller Band / swooper

  1. Stonemasons / Are becoming things of the past / And the modern age / Is finally taking us over at last

Don’t Tear It Down / Spy V Spy / swooper

  1. In my eyes, indisposed / In disguises no one knows / Hides the face, lies the snake / The sun in my disgrace

Black Hole Sun / Soundgarden / Zimmer

  1. I am just a poor boy / Though my story’s seldom told / I have squandered my resistance / For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises

  1. So, so you think you can tell / Heaven from hell / Blue skies from pain

  1. The waiting drove me mad / You’re finally here and I’m a mess / I take your entrance back / Can’t let you roam inside my head

    Getting weapons with the greatest of ease

Not sure which song you’re referring to (as your numbers got mixed up)…but whichever one it was…it was wrong :frowning:
