Musical monday #13

The rules are figure out the songs. Figure out the theme. No fair Googling even if I did it to make sure I got the lyrics right! Next week's scheduled host - Elie's Expositions who also hosted last week, as we alternate weeks.

Like Elie's last week, the grouping is significant.

1) Just 'bout five feet four, From her head to the ground
2) I try to get in, But I can't find the door
3) I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it

4) Said you'd give me light, But you never told be about the fire
5) Danger in the game when the stakes are high
6) When the children were babies and played on the beach.

7) Throw down your hat, kick off your shoes
8) Cupid by the hour sends valentines

9) I play it cool when its slow and jump it when its fast
10) My grandpa, he's 95, And he keeps on dancin'

11) The past is gone, It goes by, like dusk to dawn
12) Lay your head down on my shoulder

13) A little girl asked me what am I gonna' do, When I get old and blue and worn clear through?
14) Oh, how you tried to cut me down to size

15) Say it right now, baby (say you will)
16) In violent times, You shouldn’t have to sell your soul

Don't yell at me over these last two sets as the don't quite match the others. You may supply the details!
17) And comin' apart at the seams
18) Doesn't take much to make me happy and make me smile

19) Lonely sailors pass the time away
20) Shadows of a man A face through a window

(There's a trick in that last set.)

And now the belated answers to our last outing

Thanks to Elie's Expositions - who identified the theme "dance", Fiery Spirited Zionist, Jack's Shack, Judeopundit and SerAndEz for playing. If you like these, check them out and tell your friends! The more the merrier.
