Two Sides and Two Lives
Just two letters separate them by name. But both deal with the confusion and downside of a relationship. In Sides, "danglin' on your love line, baby, it's growin' old" while in Lives "goin' undecided is twice as bad for sure".

All You Get From Love is a Love Song and Goodbye To Love
both refer to "tomorrow" without hope for love. "although tomorrow I know the sun is rising...lighting up the world for everyone but not for me" "there are no tomorrows for this heart of mine"

Goodbye To Love + Solitaire Both songs are dark and speak about speak about never loving again. Lyrics: "So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone" and "And by himself it's easy to pretend he'll never love again". Both songs are also the third single release from their respective albums.

Outstanding song connection Timo... Here's my connection... Winter Wonderland Maybe It's You In both songs you have a person or maybe two people taking a walk together and throughout this walk the description of the nature that surrounds them is described. In one song you have the "meadow" the other there is the "ocean". In one song they speak about "a beautiful sight". The other song it's "paradise". In one song "he sings a love song", while in the other "his only thought was love for me".

Simple Connection. Just as the songs appear first and second in the song connection, "Maybe It's You" ends with the line "only a fool" while "Ordinary Fool" begins with the same line.
"Maybe It's You" "Ordinary Fool"

Ordinary Fool
Last One Singin' The BluesGoing from "Ordinary Fool" to "Last One Singin' The Blues" is somewhat like a transition. What these songs have in common is that they are opposites and one is the cure for the other. In "Ordinary Fool" our subject always ends up alone and has mistaken "good looks and laughs for the blues". You get to "Last One Singin' The Blues" our subject has finally opened his/her eyes and realizes they're wasting their time on someone who is playing them and is now handing him/her their walkin' shoes and is moving on. "Ordinary Fool" is a song of loss about being stuck and lost in the blues, while "Last One Singin' The Blues" is a victory song about moving forward from the blues.

"Last One Singin' The Blues" and "All You Get From Love is a Love Song".
Both songs using music as a metaphor for failed or failing relationships.

All You Get From Love Is A Love Song Superstar Because in the song all Karen ended up getting was just a love song... "but you're not really here it's just the radio"
