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

Best years of our lives by Modern Romance

Yes. Best years of our lives by Modern Romance

Fleamaker123 · 24/06/2020 14:47

This is one of mine from a few days ago no one got, 1988

Both of us together in a room by ourselves
I sneeze to look around, but there's no escape
What can I do, what can I say
She's waiting for this moment to explain itself

wowfudge · 24/06/2020 15:19

Touchy by A-ha

Fleamaker123 · 24/06/2020 15:45

Yes @wowfudge

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 24/06/2020 18:14

Gah! Hellish day at work, come home and there's nothing to guess.

So instead I'll give you

The two of us
Together again
But it's just the same
A stupid game
80s

The reason i breathe is you
Boy, you got me blinded
Late 90s

And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
70s

Crying at the top of my voice
And no one listening

80's

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 24/06/2020 19:49

Evening all.

I don’t think anyone got mine from yesterday so here it is with another line added:

She's so bold and me feeling old, just stroking her face
Super troubadour, he can show you more than her lace

1970s.

Other than that is it just Fleamaker’s 80s one outstanding?

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 24/06/2020 20:02

Here are a few more:

70s:
There’s a taste in my mouth and it’s no taste at all

70s:
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I can’t be happy without you around

80s:
Don't step out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear
I'll kick you out of my home if you don't cut that hair

90s (but a cover of an older song):
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/06/2020 20:07

**Today 19:10Fleamaker123

I think that's Phil Collins, Chorus repeats You know I love you but xxx, you know I love you but xxx. Not sure if that's the title or I'm grasping at straws?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/06/2020 20:08

Sorry, can't remember all the words, but I heard it the other day

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 24/06/2020 20:09

Dammit. I know the 90s cover. Hate it. Can't quite get there....

Babooshka your last one is called Jackie. It was originally done by Scott Walker . I don't know a 90's version although I think there's a film where it's sung in the background

wowfudge · 24/06/2020 20:13

Jackie was by Marc Almond

Fleamaker123 · 24/06/2020 20:25

@CoffeeBeansGalore

You're nearly there! Yes Phil Collins in too deep

Fleamaker123 · 24/06/2020 20:28

But it's gonna take money
A whole lot of spending money
It's gonna take plenty of money
To do it right child

Got my mind set on you - argh who sang it? Male vocalist, solo?
