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

Yes Idlevice - I think I followed the same path. Smile

CrepuscularCritter · 21/06/2020 10:44

And some more lines from the one of mine that's been lingering:

Here comes another winter of long shadows and high hopes
Here comes another winter waiting for utopia
Waiting for hell to freeze over

There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

1980s

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling

1970s (but made an "appearance" in Glee. Only watched because of the kids . . . . 😁)

DestroyedPeople yours is McArthur Park - it was a disco hit for Donna Summer , original by Richard Harris (I think)

Walking down the street again.
The star of my live story
And my heart began to best so fast
So clear was my memory

Yes @carnage

CarnageAtTheGardenCentre · 21/06/2020 13:05

And one from me:

I made a run, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway.

Honeyroar · 21/06/2020 13:11

No. It’s Is there Something I should know.

Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark

CarnageAtTheGardenCentre · 21/06/2020 13:54

@Honeyroar, yes.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 14:02

First verse of my previous:

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Iggi999 · 21/06/2020 14:07

Afternoon delight! But who sang it?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 14:50

@Iggi999 👍 It was the Starland Vocal Band.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/06/2020 14:54

In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between

Early 1990s.
