just remembered more...

Going through your lists I found more I loved but didn't recognize by name, or just hadn't heard in a long time.
Like the Men At Work song Overkill,  I should have it on CD but missed it being there because the title didn't ring a bell.
Seeing Restless Heart had me looking up the lyrics for a sing through as it's been years and I found another I forgot about...

Restless Heart - A Tender Lie Edit another one....Restless Heart - I'll Still Be Loving You
So many forgotten songs....hope more people post more songs!!!!!!
