Just thought I'd start a thread of guessing the song from the lyrics - they did it on a facebook group before and it was fun.
This isn't the easiest to start with:

"And I guess it took some time
For me to decide
If you were just my hero, or my friend?
Watching with my innocent eyes
Your silver stallion ride
Across my room I'd listen
As I cried.."
(cut to song title)

I see you crying and I want to kill your friends

Prosecco I'd love to see a photo if you can. How were Tears for fears? It's such a shame all the summer shows are cancelled this year, I usually go to a couple.

Still trying to work your latest lyric out Confused

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/05/2020 18:56

It's a fabulous dance track, if that helps Seaside.

Ok, will try and pm you, but it's a v v v bad pic.

Tears for fears were absolutely superb. One of the best gigs I've ever been to. Certainly in my top 5.

Honeyroar · 29/05/2020 19:02

@Iggi999 yes! it’s just called What I am.

Fudgecakes · 29/05/2020 19:04

@PomBearWithAnOFRS....yay.. were you the first one to guess Male Stripper? Soz, a bit squiffy on my 3rd glass of white so imight have missed previous posts! Bloody love that song...it makes me smile every time I hear it!!

Honeyroar · 29/05/2020 19:46

I knows it’s out of fashion, and a trifle uncool.
But I can’t help it. I’m a romantic fool.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/05/2020 19:52

I know that one!!

Echo beach. Can't think of the band. It's a woman's name.

misskiki69 · 29/05/2020 19:53

Echo Beach - Martha and the Muffins

misskiki69 · 29/05/2020 19:57

"I'm tired of taking the lead,
I want a man who will dominate me..... "

Honeyroar · 29/05/2020 19:59

Yes.
@misskiki69
So Macho -Sunita?

Honeyroar · 29/05/2020 20:01

Well I’ll try not to hold you
And I’ll try not to kiss you
And I won’t even touch you

Trepidatious · 29/05/2020 20:15

I may be happy but it does not show
Where the wild things are I dare not go

CathyorClaire · 29/05/2020 20:57

Oh. I love Echo Beach Smile

I thought I'd be good at this but I've no idea on the last three, sorry.

Can I leave one anyway?

'Hello? Is anybody home? Well, you don't know me,
But I know you'

misskiki69 · 29/05/2020 21:15

@Honeyroar Yes! Nice bit of cheesy 80s trash. Smile

kierenthecommunity · 29/05/2020 21:19

Love this game, just a few hours later 😂

How can I be sure you're breaking all the rules
How can I be sure I should be high above
I'll climb the mountain, reaching for the skies
And all too soon I jump the moon
and find I'm losing my mind

NeedToKnow101 · 29/05/2020 21:23

@Iggi999 - you got it!

TitsInAbsentia · 29/05/2020 21:33

@Honeyroar

Well I’ll try not to hold you And I’ll try not to kiss you And I won’t even touch you
Depeche mode - see you?
Honeyroar · 29/05/2020 21:36

Yes @titsin Depeche Mode. Love that one.

And this one is blancmange, don't tell me.

So here's mine:

and as we sit here alone
looking for a reason to go on
it's so clear that all we have now

Honeyroar · 29/05/2020 21:42

@CathyorClaire could you add another bit, the “I know you” rings a distant bell!

Honeyroar · 29/05/2020 21:43

I always gave my best.
Your memory serves you so badly.
Some people kill for less.
Yet I’d still die for you gladly.

Sparklingbrook · 29/05/2020 21:53

Leaving me Now Level 42?
Sparklingbrook · 29/05/2020 21:56

Your life's a mystery, mine is an open book
If I could read your mind, I think I'd take a look
I don't care
