Put up a line or two from an 80s song for people to guess.

Starting you off with...

you feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun

@Fleamaker123 is yours Down on the street shakatak?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/06/2020 14:25

Is there anything still outstanding?

A couple of mine still hanging around

Longing to touch all the places we know we can hide
The width of a room that can hold so much pleasure inside

and

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart

Don’t recognise either of them.🧐

Don't think anyone got this:

I feel I’m a leaf in the November snow
I fell to the ground, there was no one below
So now I am helpless, alone with my song
Just wishing the storm was gone

Next lines are...
A little lovin’, a little givin’
To build a dream for the world we live in

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/06/2020 14:44

I don't know any of them. Sad

Iggi - is that a Phil Collins song? Memory isn’t great but it went something like ... ‘this is the land we live in, and these are the hands were given .... let try something something something... something something something ... confusion’????

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 06/06/2020 14:46

For you indie people

And the world comes tumbling down

I'll give a clue - chart hit in UK (eg was on TOTP) but originally a Eurovision winner

kemosabeimalone · 06/06/2020 14:54

Ghostbusters!!!

Honeyroar · 06/06/2020 14:58

Can you feel it, see it, hear it today
If you can’t then it doesn’t matter anyway

kemosabeimalone · 06/06/2020 15:00

I'm seeming to be glad a lot
I'm happy again, caught, caught in time
Expose the daughter and yourself with me
Like adventure our girl hides
You're the match of Jericho
That will burn this whole madhouse down

Fleamaker123 · 06/06/2020 15:06

Yes @Honeyroar it was Shakatak

Fleamaker123 · 06/06/2020 15:09

Here's one I put on ages ago no one got, have another go...

You never give your heart to a stranger
Or tell your secrets to a friend
You'll put your heart in mortal danger
They all desert you in the end

Fleamaker123 · 06/06/2020 15:15

@Honeyroar
Next lines are...
A little lovin’, a little givin’
To build a dream for the world we live in

I'm singing those lines to myself but can't get any further, sorry I might have to google Grin

RiftGibbon · 06/06/2020 15:19

@RiftGibbon

Have you ever seen a show with fellas on the mic With one minute rhymes that don't come out right
This one is still o/s
Honeyroar · 06/06/2020 15:21

Next lines to mine?

The next lines to mine are..
Can you feel it, see it, hear It today
If you can’t then it doesn’t matter anyway
You will never understand it cos it happens too fast
And it feels so good it’s like walking on glass

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 06/06/2020 15:25

@Honeyroar
Next lines are...
A little lovin’, a little givin’

Is it a song called A Little Peace? Can’t for the life of me remember who sang it.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 06/06/2020 15:27

You might get the first one if I post the next bit:

Longing to touch all the places we know we can hide
The width of a room that can hold so much pleasure inside

Here am I alone again
A quiet town where life begins

Honeyroar · 06/06/2020 15:32

@littleflea and @babooshka
Which song are you saying the next lines you’re quoting are for? Not one of mine.. I’m being dozy, but not understanding why I’m being tagged in - do you both think it’s one of mine?

Honeyroar · 06/06/2020 15:33

Sorry @Fleamaker123 not littleflea!

Fleamaker123 · 06/06/2020 15:42

@Honeyroar
Sorry that should've been for @Iggi999

WarmSausageTea · 06/06/2020 15:44

A Little Peace was Nicole.

babooshka’s is Nightporter by Japan.
