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

For example:

Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you

Thank you @Honeyroar and @ProseccoBubbleFantasies.

Hello Xsquared.

Prosecco - which is the one of yours still outstanding?

Nobody got mine from earlier so I’ll add a little more...

Got no reason, coming to me like the rain running down
There’s no reason
And the same voice, coming to me like it’s all slowing down.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/06/2020 18:22

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Here's one just for you then...

And you look so mean because your pants are too tight

This one

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Ok. Got too stuck in the 70s yesterday. How about

So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time

And this one

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

I don't think anyone's got this one, and it's a REALLY beautiful song - lovely, lovely words and sentiment. I'll give you some more....

Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the midst of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine

And this one, but I suspect no one will get this one

I'm singing that last line but can't get any further @prosecco

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/06/2020 18:36

Which one Fleamaker? I'll give you more lines

70s for this one:

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away...

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 20/06/2020 18:47

Iggy. I think that’s Justin Haywood (or Hayward?) Forever Autumn.

Fleamaker123 · 20/06/2020 18:50

I know that line from somewhere, was it used for a tv programme??

Fleamaker123 · 20/06/2020 18:53

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/06/2020 18:57

Fleamaker (and others)

From elsewhere in the song...

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

It might have been used in something. The band were popular in America. Less popular in the uk. But someone connected to the group was a family friend, so I've always known their music

It's been so lonely without you here Like a bird without a song
Sinead o Conner Nothing compares to you.
Iggi999 · 20/06/2020 19:00

That's it @SingingBabooshkaBadly Smile
I saw some of War of the Worlds last night which made me think of it

Willow2017 · 20/06/2020 19:03

Oh bugger! Pipped at the post😄

Honeyroar · 20/06/2020 19:08

Tonight I wanna see it in your eyes
Feel the magic
There’s something that drives me wild

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/06/2020 19:31

I was made for lovin' you by the awesome kiss, Honey?

It's a different song? Not sure what you mean!

Honeyroar · 20/06/2020 19:36

Yes Prosecco.

Yours is Parklife by Blur

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/06/2020 19:43

Sorry for any confusion, Fleamaker, I meant it was the second time on this thread someone had put up lyrics to a s o'c song. Two different songs.

OP posts:
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/06/2020 19:44

Yes, parklife. Too easy!

OP posts:
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/06/2020 19:46

Why did you choose to deceive me?
Was your plan just to kiss, fuck and leave me?

OP posts:
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/06/2020 19:49

I write this now while I'm in control
I'll chose the words and how the melody goes
