Someday I believe it
You will come to my rescue
Unchain my heart you're keeping
And let me start anew,

Iggi999 · 09/06/2020 23:35

Love in the first degree, Kylie.
I may be wrong!

Iggi999 · 09/06/2020 23:36

Or Bananrama!

Hey hey what do you say had me a woman but she ran away
Warned me one time warned me twice
Found me out and it weren't too nice

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/06/2020 23:46

@Iggi Banarama Smile

You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference 'cause it knocks you off your feet

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 10/06/2020 07:30

Bananarama, I think Iggi

And yours is Adam Ant, Appollo 9

You're on the road and now you pray it lasts
The road behind was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky

No takers for this yet?

Will you walk like a lion in the danger zone?
Will you pass unnoticed in the great unknown?
When you see the press out on a witch hunt.
When you see a political publicity stunt.
Will you fight for the right? Will you be a man?
Will you step aside? Will you give a damn?

Clue: it had a boys name in the title

Bluesheep that's Hey Matthew by Karol Fialka. Matthew must be around 50 now.

Bluesheep8 · 10/06/2020 11:03

wowfudge brilliant - well done!

wowfudge · 10/06/2020 11:08

Took me a couple of days to get there. It's now my earworm, sadly, as I hate it!

wowfudge · 10/06/2020 11:12

Got to give them all we can till the war is won Then will the work be done

Fleamaker123 · 10/06/2020 11:25

Completely forgotten Hey Matthew.. but thanks for reminding me Grin

Bluesheep8 · 10/06/2020 11:42

fleamaker no problem, there's a section in it where a little boy speaks...I knew it off by heart and would recite it to anyone who'd listen when I was a child Blush

Bluesheep8 · 10/06/2020 11:44

wowfudge hmmm yes it's quite an annoying earworm!

Bluesheep8 · 10/06/2020 11:47

I just can't stop it
Every Saturday you see me
Window shopping
Find no interest in the
Racks and shelves
Just a thousand reflections
Of my own sweet self, self, self, self, self

Fleamaker123 · 10/06/2020 11:52

@Bluesheep8 Smile my own fault for looking it up!

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 10/06/2020 11:55

Bluesheep That’s the Beat, Mirror in the bathroom.

Surprised nobody’s got my last song yet. I’m starting to think I’ve made it up 🤔🤔🤔 If I did I should record it. It’s really good...

wowfudge · 10/06/2020 11:55

Don't tell me lies
When you talk about friends you've been doing
It's no suprise

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 10/06/2020 12:27

And I'm at the stage
Where I want my words said and no one wants to listen
No one wants to listen 'cause everybody's yelling
