Edit: Now that I read #2 again, I believe that is the Patrick Swayze song. Although I must confess that I don't know Bette Midler that well, so that remains a guess.

***** WOW... Good Guess!!!

Ok, this set will be tougher, because while all the titles share a common theme, the theme is NOT an individual word in the title. Also, all these songs are prior to 1990.

1. Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the pompitous of love

2. Midnight,
and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight,
you're just a heartache in disguise;
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
if it's only for a very short time

3. On a warm summer's eve, on a train bound for nowhere
I met up with ... We were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness.
When boredom overtook us, he began to speak.

Queen of Hearts by Juice Newton.

I'll guess that the theme is cards, or at least the royalty that the face cards depict.

*** Cards is the theme and that is the solution for #2.

Which just leaves:

3. He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces.
Knowin' what the cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces,
For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice."

Here's a new set folks:

1. _._._._ say da da da da
Tell me yes and let's feed the fire
_._._._, _._._._, say da da da
Nothin' less, I wanna hear a yes
_._._._, say da da da da
Tell me yes and let's feed the fire
_._._._, _._._._, say da da da
Tell me yes

2. I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

3. Well I'm an axegrinder Piledriver
Mother says that I never never mind her
Got no brains I'm insane
Teacher says that I'm one big pain
I'm like a laser 6-streamin' razor
I got a mouth like an alligator
I want it louder
More power
I'm gonna rock ya till it strikes the hour

1. The word is out, got good news
We're gonna go for a midnight cruise
Steady weather, it's always cool
The street teaches what you learn at school
Look out, the gang's all here
Gettin' tough in tender years
Come for a ride,
Straight up to heaven
Your rocket is ready
And it started counting down

2. ..., I hit the ground
..., that awful sound
..., my baby shot me down.

1. "Bang" (Gorky Park)

***** Nicely Done!!! That cleans up that set.

Here's a new set, something old & something new.

1. I saw your eyes
And you made me smile
For a little while
I was falling in love

2. Je suis prete. Est-ce que vous etes pret, aussi?

Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Oh no baby my love isn't blind
Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Don't go givin' me one of your lines

3. Your brothers they all think I'm crazy
I think it's nothing at all
Today I'm feeling kinda lazy
So I'll be sleeping it off
Once again, it's kinda like a ...
"Crazy old fasioned ..."

 

[redmarvel]

1. I saw your eyes
And you touched my mind
Although it took a while
I was falling in love

2. Say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't go and throw our love away
God strike me dead if I did you wrong
This is not a ...

3. Then she decides that the dogs
they belong inside
It's a never ending ride you're taking
I can decide for you hey
It's kinda like a ...

 

[redmarvel]

1. I saw your eyes
And you made me cry
And for a little while
...

2. Are you just being kind
Am I losing my mind

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
And those who run seem to have all the fun
But are you wasting my time -- she's so fine
Are you just being kind

3. The party's happening somewhere else babe
Here there is nothing at all
Someday I'll be somebody's slave
For now I've got me all to myself
It's kinda like a ...
"Crazy old fasioned ..."
