Hear their shout, hear their roar
They've probably had a barrel of ale and much, much more

80s. I think that one's tough

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 02/07/2020 14:34

All the Shakespeareos?

Not a typo. 70s

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 02/07/2020 14:36

Sneaking in the backdoor with dirty magazines
Now your mother wants to know what those stains are on your jeans

Love those lyrics! 70s

Well I haven’t got a single one today! (not a lyric!)

Fleamaker123 · 02/07/2020 15:25

@secretmeetingsundertrees
Yes!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 02/07/2020 15:41

Yes to all of you. Well done! Just the difficult one still to get. Good luck.
I'd not have got it either.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 02/07/2020 15:44

Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear.

80s, I think might be 70s (sorry!)

Not sure if this one got missed yesterday or if more lyrics are required:

I suspected all along you were a dream come true, oh my
I'm never in the dark 'cause my heart keeps me well informed, oh yeah

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 02/07/2020 15:53

Very good, Babooshka.

Isn't it tempole? But assume that was an auto correct anyway.

I thought that one was difficult

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/07/2020 16:31

@KatherineJaneway Yes, well done. Didn't realise Keanu was in it. Will have a look!

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies Yes you got half. Still good! 😊

Still outstanding. Few more lyrics:

I hit the road out of nowhere
I had to jump in my car
And be a rider in a love game
Following the stars

Don't need a book of wisdom
I get no money talk at all

She has a train going downtown
She's got a club on the moon
And she's telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon

Definitely Tenpole Smile

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 02/07/2020 16:42

Ok, I’ve added a couple more lines:

You can't do nothing that you don't put your mind to, oh yeah
I suspected all along you were a dream come true, oh my
I'm never in the dark 'cause my heart keeps me well informed, oh yeah
I'm convinced that there's a way of getting through to you

Honeyroar · 02/07/2020 17:43

Ah @CoffeeBeansGalore the wonderful balloon gave it away. It’s Joyride Roxette

The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young
The sun was always shinin', we just lived for fun

Sometimes it's all a big surprise
