70s
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice

Hello! Checking in. I’ll try to post a few too, I was so distracted throughout the last thread.

Is Rogue going to bring over all the unguessed ones from the previous thread?? 🤣

I hope so! It's bad enough flicking back and forth on that same thread, let alone between two different ones!

Hi guys.

Thanks for the thread, coffee.

Yes, I'll copy over the ungot ones later.

There's a disappointingly large quantity of them.

You're all losing your touch. Some incredibly easy ones.

Yep, same here @dexterslockedintheshedagain.
I got a couple, but I’ll wait til they’ve been copied over now.
Hope you guys are all okay, guess we’ve all been pretty busy, as I’ve noticed we all haven’t been on as much lately 😘😘

Yeah probably @midgemagneto.
Weather is nice the next few days, so maybe another lull …

Hi all. Thanks for new thread Coffee. Looks like I missed a lot!

So, I put up a few lyrics on the last thread. These ones are still outstanding.

But, I did put up quite a few, and I haven't finished going through the whole of the thread yet. So some of these might have been guessed (I'm pretty sure 2 or 3 were). But it's late now, and I need to go to bed.
And I wanted to leave you with stuff to guess.

If there were any that were got on the last thread, I shall be SCRUPULOUSLY fair in the point allocation.

On the silverscreen
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene

90s hit, but much older track.


2
No reason, just seems so pleasing

70s


3
I'll take you down, I'll take you down
Where no one's ever gone before


4
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby


5
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone


6
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted


7
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme


8
Oh, my child
You got so much
You're gonna take away my energy
70s


9
Don’t say what you mean
You might spoil your face

(love that lyric!)


10
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

I kiss the morning goodbye
But down inside you know
We never know why


12
In a sore afraid new world
[I’m sure I thought that line was and they saw a brave new world]


13
In fact, here's just another ordinary day


14
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth


15
Let 'em say we're crazy
I don't care about that


16
Then your jive will swing (aah-ahh-ah)
It Ain’t What You Do (It’s the way that you do it), Bananarma – midge. But who sung it with them????


17
MENSA membership conceding
Tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding

00s


18
Sits alone and bends his cane
Same old backsides again


19
Give me more
Than one caress
Satisfy this
Hungriness
70s

Okay, one time for mama, everybody!


21
If you jump into your bed
Quickly cover up your head

A hit many times, I think. Possibly endlessly. But the first one was 70s


22
Seems so unfair when there's love everywhere but there's none for me

I think this has been a hit for about 5 or 6 different people across several decades.
but as I consider the song woeful, and hate every version, I don't even care.

Name them all and get no points anyway!


23
I heard the mission bell
70s


24
And now you really gotta burn it up


25
Chicas to the front
90s


26
Well, you can dress me in your mirror
Give me kisses forever and a day yeah



27
My eyes are black and lifeless
With an underprivileged stare


28
Can you read my mind can you see in the snow


29
Academic inspiration, you gave me none
But you were Michael the lover
The fighter that won

They just know
They're so sure
90s

hmmm. Not sure about the timing for this one


31
You said forever
And then you went and changed your plans


32
My feet don't hardly make no sound
70s


33
And it's starting to feel good, hey
All right now
And it's starting to feel good


34
His lips are dry, his heart is gently pounding
70s
Dexter guessed Don’t Stand So Close To Me by the Police. Both wrong!


35
When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride
No regrets, no love, no tears


36
Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a motherfucker like that
With a gat that's pointed at yo ass
So give it up smooth


37
Oh, I appreciate you're busy
And time is not your own
Yeah, maybe it would be better
If I telephoned
70s


38
Run along to school,
No child of mine grows up a fool,
Run along to school.


40
Some guys excite me but don't invite me.
They don't even notice
It seems
Oh
I'm always waiting
Anticipating.
I long for the man of my dreams.


41
You said you'd die for me
Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right
I thought it was you
Who would do me no wrong


42
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.


43
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
