Everybody Knows This is Nowhere - Neil Young

I Know A Place - Petula Clark

Right. Right. You're bloody well right.

That clears the board.

One answer each for Malakin, levis and Dappled.

And a hefty seven correctly identified songs for my lean and insightful admirer Peaches.

The theme is a little "iffy". Put it in your own words, and I'll know if you've got it.

Are you a realtor, bazooka? Because I feel as though the theme is location, location, location. I'm a little fuzzy as to #10's relevance, but you said yourself "Can't Find My Way Home" would have been a better fit.

That is my final answer, Master Sir bazooka.

By "iffy", I meant esoteric.

bazooka envisioned the theme as undefined locations, metaphorical locations, locations as a 'state of mind'.

Enough of this baloney.

Somebody put up a clearheaded Ten.

That was a good one, Bazooka. The theme made sense, but it was hard to place it into words.

Okay, I put off work to do this one, so here goes:

1. What a new father might offer you

2. Shhhh

3. Have my alarm go off in October

4. What does he have against Tokyo?

5. If you want me to answer the door, use this

6. A race with swimming, running and biking

7. The street may be named this, but that doesn't mean you can surf on it

8. What a wound leaves behind

9. How come my phone didn't ring?

10. A pedometer counts this

Good luck!

Peaches got 2 and 4

Farin got 6

das got 9

Bazooka got the theme right, and a hint is that I did not repeat any colors.

Farin is dancing on #5....this group claims to be brother and sister and their last name is part of the group name (and a color, too)
