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

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

Is that There will never be another tonight by Brian Adams?

I’m amazed some of the regulars haven’t got mine yet.

@Honeyroar - I know this one of yours.. 'Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark'

But I can't remember what it's called or who it's by!? (Pointless post!)

It carries on -
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away

What era?
I pride myself in being a bit of a music geek of the 80s and 90s but I'm useless with lyrics!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 21/06/2020 17:49

Been out all day. Didn't need the two extra lines. I know (and adore it) that's Charlotte sometimes by the cure

My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know - if you’re coming down to land

From the park I hear jamming/marley's hot on the box/tonight there will be a party/on the corner at the end of the block....
