Lyrically Speaking - 2/15/24

The Year in Music enters the 1990's this week, and once again (get used to this), the random number came out low. So we'll be celebrating 1992 today! I was entering my senior year in high school and completely ignoring all of the new music of the day... listening to a "mellow rock" station that had just started broadcasting the year before called The Fox, which gave me my first taste of some of the 70's music that came between the boundaries of the oldies station my parents would listen to and the early 80's when I first stared following pop music. So here's twelve songs I was completely oblivious to at the time...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
2. What makes you think you can just walk back into her life
Without a good fight? Oh oh
I just sit back and watch you make a fool of yourself
Cuz you're just wasting your time, oh
3. We won't hesitate
Break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today
4. Girl you know we belong together
I don't have no time for you
To be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby
You just wait
5. The sun's still shining in the big blue sky
But it don't mean nothing to me
O-o-oh let the rain come down
Let the wind blow through me
6. Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
7. Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
8. You like to drive like Mario Andretti
I like it taking my time
But let me say wherever you are going
You know it suits me just fine
9. To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you wanna kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy
10. I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
11. I hope them cigarettes are gonna make you cough
I hope you hear this song and it pissed you off
12. Lonely sidewalks, silent night
Bring the evening, deep inside
Hold me darling, touch me now
Let the feelings free tonight
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that was released or on the charts in 1992 (two year cushion).
Image Bonus: If you can remember the 90's, then you didn't live through them....
