Hello you lovely lot, thread 5 here we go!

Post a few lines from a song, 70s, 80s, 90s & let us guess the singer & the title.

Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know

90s:
Oh, is this the way they say the future’s meant to feel?
Or just twenty thousand people standing in a field.

I woke last night and spoke to you
Not thinking you were gone
And it felt so strange to lie awake alone

The song is No Regrets but I only know it as a really old song (1960s)
Iggi999 · 03/07/2020 00:37

Oh yes it was a cover wasn't it? 1982, solo artist who was usually in a band

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 03/07/2020 01:44

It was Midge Ure but originally the Walker Brothers (or maybe Scott Walker solo?) in the 60s.

I will not stand in your way
But inevitably
You'll be back again
'Cause you know in your heart babe
Our love will never end, no

1995

The sun's still shining in big blue sky
But it don't mean nothing to me

1990s

Caught up in your wishin' well
You hopes inside it
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last

This one has been hanging around a couple of days:

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

I can’t give the next line but these are the first lines:

It's crazy but I'm frightened by the sound of the telephone, oh yeah
I'm worried that the caller might have awful news, oh my'

I think that might be a bit more recognisable.

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/07/2020 18:08

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/07/2020 18:10

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear.

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

No one got this one. It was kind of strange, but I'm sure I remember it on TOTPs.

Do you want more lyrics?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/07/2020 18:11

Babooshka, I can't think what yours is.

Coffee, you're a very good/responsible OP. giving us lots of lyrics Star

Happy friday, everyone

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 03/07/2020 18:14

Just Googled the billy Joel song cos it was annoying me. I did get the title wrong

Honeyroar · 03/07/2020 18:21

Who is watching Eggheads? One of the questions was a lyric -
Last night you talked about leaving.
I said I can’t let you go.

Fleamaker123 · 03/07/2020 18:28

Honeyroar that's Jason Donovan Too many broken hearts!
Just realised haven't seen any Kylie lyrics, maybe I missed them early on.
