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

Your eyes are full of hesitation
Sure makes me wonder
If you know what you're looking for

You can't just leave me To face life on my own I know you don't love me no more
Texas, I don't want a lover

Quizhelper It might not be that bad.

Not sure if I missed the answer to this but if not, it's the Gin Blossoms and Hey Jealousy. Trying to remember the other one of theirs I loved now.

Creps yes you've got it Smile

I want to talk sweet talk
Whisper things in your ear
I want to tell ya the things
I know you've been waiting to hear
Come on little darling take my hand

@Fleamaker123, that's Under the Moon of Love by Showaddywaddy

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 28/06/2020 10:57

shinynewapple - hurray! You got it!

Any takers for this one? I’ll add a bit more and if it’s not guessed with these new lines I don’t think it will ever be (it’s just occurred to me that it’s probably an album track but definitely we’ll know and a very famous singer).

And he's down on the street, so I throw both his bags down the hall
And I'm phoning a cab 'cause my stomach feels small
There's a taste in my mouth and it's no taste at all
It could have been me, oh yeah it could have been me
Why didn't I say, why didn't I say, no, no, no
She’s so swishy in her satin and tat
With her frock coat and her bibberty-bobberty hat

And thank you quizhelper, I’ll pm you 😊

Is there a link to a new thread?

Honeyroar · 28/06/2020 11:04

I’ve turned a girl into a heaving senseless wreck
Made the captain of a ship dance off his deck
I’ve made an old man jump to his feet
