@NeedToKnow101

I'll add a couple of lines to my earlier one...

I checked the time, it was almost time
A curious smell, an intangible crime
I'm washing my clothes, but the stain still grows
Cover your eyes, the stain still shows
I feel the gaze against my skin
I feel the gaze against my skin

(80s' clue - Eastenders)

Is it Spandau Ballet?
NeedToKnow101 · 04/07/2020 17:55

No it's more someone Romantic in Eastenders was in this 80s band... c'mon guys I'm giving it away!

Oops 😳

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 04/07/2020 18:01

Well done. Especially with my typo. Should have been love me, love me.

Here's a clue for the one you can't get. It's a song title for another part of your user name

shinynewapple2020 · 04/07/2020 18:42

I'm guessing it's something to do with apple. I can only think of 'one bad apple' and it's definitely not that .

Willow2017 · 04/07/2020 18:49

Oh bugger.
Mama we're all crazy now. Doh!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 04/07/2020 18:55

Do you want me to tell you shiny?

Yes, Willow. Lots of songs about devils, but the poster is devoil. I couldn't think of any mum songs either, but lots with mama. And I love that slade song

shinynewapple2020 · 04/07/2020 18:59

Prosecco - I'd no one else can guess it then yes please Smile I really don't know it. And you seem to have posted half the song as well .

shinynewapple2020 · 04/07/2020 19:03

1990's

You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Devoilmum · 04/07/2020 19:17

@shinynewapple2020 U2 - one

shinynewapple2020 · 04/07/2020 19:23

@Devoilmum yes that's right Smile

NeedToKnow101 · 04/07/2020 19:46

Taking chances, bold advances
Don't care if you think we're out of line
Conversation is interrogation
Get out of here, we just don't have the time

Those games you play
They’re going to end in more than tears someday

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 04/07/2020 20:29

Can't seem to get that one, honey. I'd have got respectable though.

Shiny - big apple, kajagoogoo. Bloody awful song! Well done for not getting it!

Iggi999 · 04/07/2020 20:34

It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you've had
(80s)
