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 put this up ages ago and no one got it, so here's some more words but from a different part of the song

When your barber takes a little less time each week
The kids don't understand a word you speak
When you walk into a disco and they offer you a seat

70s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 25/06/2020 08:45

Yes, Fleamaker. We absolutely loved that song when we were kids, so I was surprised when no one got it

Ok I have one:

Like a break in the clouds and a first ray of sun,
I can feel it inside, something new has begun.

Honeyroar · 25/06/2020 10:32

In Love For the very first time. Or something like that?

It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be?
How could I be so blind to this addiction?
If I don't stop
The next one's gonna be me

Big 80s band...

She used to be a diplomat
But now she’s down the laundromat

I've changed my life completely
I've seen the lightening leave me
My baby just can't take her eyes off me

Fabulous late 70s track

Is that Heaven 17 - Temptation?

NeedToKnow101 · 25/06/2020 16:44

HoneyRoar - sounds like a Squeeze song.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/06/2020 16:48

@NeedToKnow101 if that was aimed at mine, no sorry

Honeyroar · 25/06/2020 16:51

@NeedToKnow101 yours is the wonderful Red Hor Chilli pepper’s Under the Bridge.

No. Mine isn’t Squeeze.

NeedToKnow101 · 25/06/2020 16:51

@CoffeeBeansGalore - yes, as soon as I posted I knew it was wrong. Should have played that one myself Grin
