But you know that we've changed so much since then Oh yeah We've grown

90s

Do you remember the first time? Pulp

I also know the last one for Katherine. Saw them at Reading aeons ago...

No worries @Honeyroar Grin

Sorry but I have no clue on that one Blush

Don't think anyone got mine from earlier...

Took a trip in Powis Square
Pop star dyed his hair
No fans to scream and shout
When mobsters came to flush him out

'85
Clue for title - maths!

I can’t get that one Fleamaker.

I’ve got one outstanding. An awesome indie track from the 80s.

She believes in angels
She believes in the will of the gods
And she’s dancing amongst the fairy dust

Another bit..

She got her head in the clouds
She’s got stars in her eyes
And she’s dancing with a dream in her heart
She’s got the wind in her hair
Moon child shining bright

I'd do it all for you

Well, I'm a-runnin' down the road, tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One said she's a friend of mine

Early 70s

A few more lines. Can't put the ofirst kine of the verse as it contains the title.

Do anything you asked me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I'd do it all for you
If you just believe in me

Just take a look in my eyes
You'll see a love that's blind
Just take a hold of my hand
And I'll take you to paradise
Ain't a star that's too far

Ruddy glitch! 🙄

I can't put the first line of the verse as it contains the title

Will this one ever be guessed? Feels like it’s been hanging around forever. I’ve given one clue - male, solo, no longer with us. Should I give more clues? Feel like more lyrics aren’t going to help after posting all this but I’m sure some, if not all of you, must know the song.

Ok - here’s another clue. The video for this singer’s most famous song (not this one) featured a number of identically dressed women.

And here are the lyrics again...

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
Who knows these days where on earth the money goes, oh yeah
No doubt we could put it to a better use, oh my
You keep insisting that nobody showed you how to keep relationships, oh yeah
Your daddy made a real good try, oh my
You said you knew all along
We could work it out, oh yeah
Do you have to make a fuss every time we fly
Oh I'm

Honeyroar · 05/07/2020 15:18

Robert Plant?

shinynewapple2020 · 05/07/2020 15:28

Robert Palmer ?

Willow2017 · 05/07/2020 15:29

Robert Palmer but cant get the song yet.

secretmeetingsundertrees · 05/07/2020 15:31

@Honeyroar

Robert Plant?
palmer rather than plant i'd guess honeyroar wouldn't know where to start as far as songs though
Fleamaker123 · 05/07/2020 15:42

Yes xsquared

Fleamaker123 · 05/07/2020 15:45

If its Robert Palmer, the Addicted to Love video had all the models with black dresses and slicked back hair??

Fleamaker123 · 05/07/2020 15:50

Sorry just re-read, not Addicted to LoveBlush

Honeyroar · 05/07/2020 16:25

He did a few videos with those girls in their black dresses though. I just can’t remember any songs!
