Answers to the lyric meme
1. When darkness falls, leaving shadows in the night     Run With Us by Spray.

I'd've have been quite surprised if anyone had got this, because the band are (undeservedly in my opinion) fairly obscure. I've called their style "dance music for people who don't like dance music. They have a couple of albums on the iTunes store if anyone's curious. I particularly recommend "Children of a Laser God".

I can't believe I didn't get 'Tainted Love'! I'm sure I would have done if you'd put the first line down as "Sometimes I feel I've got to..."

(Even skimming, I can't believe I missed "Istanbul"!)
