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

I can’t get any of the outstanding ones!

80s...

Coast to coast, wall to wall
Got to go. Duty calls
Here I am.

Iggi999 · 22/06/2020 22:27

We'll be together and nobody ain't never
Gonna disconnect us or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

@Iggi999 erasure - we’ll be together again

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 22/06/2020 22:40

It’s Eurasia but the song is Stop.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 22/06/2020 22:42

Here’s more of my 90s one - song titled x-ed out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Are we going under?
What did I do wrong?
I thought we had it sorted
Is there someone else?
Or am I too familiar?
Was it when I said I wanted to have children?
Tore up all your photos,
Didn't feel too clever,
Spent the whole of Sunday
Sticking you together.
Now I'd like to call you,
But I feel too awkward.
Some things need explaining,
No-one told me it was raining.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

And one from the late 70s.

And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
And she turns them into black and white

That's elvis Costello. Live him! Green shirt

To answer your question, Babooshka; no, no one got it. The group is called Alan Parsons Project and that song is called old and wise.
It's on YouTube and I recommend it. It's a lovely song. Makes me cry if I'm feeling emotional!

Talking of songs that make me cry. This is from 1973

I could be a millionaire if I had the money
And I could own a mansion, no I don't think I'd like that

I don't think I know your other song, sorry

So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us

I am not in love.....10 cc

Fleamaker123 · 23/06/2020 09:15

Yes @Destroyedpeople

Honeyroar · 23/06/2020 09:24

And if I feel this way for so long
Tell me is it all for nothing?
