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

While I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away

Just another winter's tale, David Essex?

There's still a little love left, even so

Well done Willow and Apple, t'was David Soul.
That's loads of good songs. I'm not sure about a great 90's one and my 70s perspective is skewed from being a small child at the time Smile

Fleamaker123 · 25/06/2020 22:01

Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains,
growin' like a breeze

Early 70's

Quizhelper · 25/06/2020 22:03

Is that Country Roads fleamaker?

Honeyroar I could do a whole quiz just on different decades of Duran Duran songs! Grin
(But no one would speak to me after)

Honeyroar · 25/06/2020 22:03

Nobody got this 80s track from earlier. People of you have guessed plenty of their others on previous threads.

My eyes wide open
I feel a breeze
Words softly spoken
In .............. (if I wrote that word I’d give it away!)

Fleamaker123 · 25/06/2020 22:06
