    Default Unknown songs from cassette tapes

    Recorded from the radio circa 1990. The first is a short one, just a few lines:
    "insurrection (again) insurrection
    insurrection (we need) insurrection
    do you feel the pressure can you feel the pressure do you feel the pressure of the..."

    The second is a much long one (5 minutes or so...). It starts with the line
    "Here in this lonely room i see it so clear".
    This is the chorus:
    "In dreams I walk with you by my side
    in dreams my love is alive
    in dreams I recall the thrill of it all
    the joy and the pleasure and pain
    in dreams I escape but when I awake
    I'm only lonely again
    (true?) I was the man who lost you
    and loved you but loved you in vain
    just playing the game of the moth and the flame"

    If needed, i can attach samples of the songs I'm searching.
    Thank you

    My guesses would be they are called "Insurrection" and "In Dreams" but I'm not finding any lyrics online. The samples would help a lot.

    Please attach sound samples and what makes you people suddenly bring out songs you recorded 30+ years ago?!
    If you like music from different countries, would you like to participate in World Song Contest? Send me a msg if you're interested!

    In the meantime, there is another one. Chorus seems to be:
    "anytime we want it
    we can sort this whole thing out
    anytime we want it
    we can find the water till..."

    2 = "do you feel the pressure of the reggae beat"(?)
    3 = Dancing Toys - Anytime (It was ID'd on an app called "Stream that song". I can't find the actual song anywhere but YouTube has a lot of their songs under "Netherworld Dancing Toys" and it sounds like the same band).

    2 = Leo Sayer - The Moth and The Flame

    The voice reminded me immediately on Leo Sayer, when he raised it in the chorus

    Other songs to find, recorded in the early-mid 80s. The first is a funky one:
    "... stories of places sharing all the smiles on people's faces
    I like to go with you and see this places
    I like to see the smiles on people's faces
    (Chorus)
    'cause we need a (certain? change of?) place
    for a better place if you try we can find it"

    and so on...

    The second, only the beginning:
    "One small town in the valley
    seems so long ago, but foundation is... (?)
    let's get change this point of view"

    http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/85549621/file.html

    The third, again a funky one (in a "Steely Dan"-ish style):
    "If you want an answer to the question
    am I feeling up or feeling down
    I'm just feeling open to suggestions
    trying to get my feet back on the ground
    looking to the past to see the future
    looking to the future for the past (...)
    (Chorus)
    Ain't it funny it was only yesterday
    (... ?)
    Now my troubles are raining down on me
    I (?) wish they could go away
    and coming back another day

    http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/21810613/file.html

    The fourth is much more jazzy (seems Al Jarreau):
    "How I like to sit outside
    when it's getting dark
    gefore the sun goes down
    sitting on the stairs
    cup of spinning coffee in my hand
    people walking by (...) in the fading light
    just when the day slows down
    just when the day slows down
    the day"

    http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/30336138/file.html

    The fifth one:
    "Rhythm of the universe (wider?) rhythm of you and me
    I (wonder through?) blue sky
    I surrender to the tide
    and (?) calls
    as the nightime falls
    my (blame?) reaching through the stars
    shoot them to the moon
    ...

    Heaven together with fire"

    http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/56703298/file.html

    The last one:

    "... (?) whenever you make a scream
    ... (?) cause i read it in a magazine
    ... (?) makes me wanna cry and shoot some bombs through the sky"

    Thanks a lot to everyone who can find any of these.
