The answers:

1. So let's have another cup of coffee, and let's have another piece of pie - 'Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee' (meant to be an easy one to start you off. I don't know who sang it but it was written by Irving Berlin.)

2. I've been to Paradise, but I've never been to me - 'I've Never Been to Me' by Charlene. Where is she now, eh? Still being undressed by kings, no doubt.

7. These little town blues, are melting away - 'New York New York' by Frank Sinatra

    You are going to have to make your competitions a little easier than the above if you are expecting anyone to post entries - I got about 5/20.

    I was expecting people to cheat! I was expecting them to Google all the lyrics and wipe the board! Goes to show that Lewesians are just too honest for their own good.

    But hey, thanks for becoming a follower. Love your secret pic.
