I put this on ages ago and nobody got it, give it another go...early 80's

Watching them come and go
The Templars and the Saracens
They're traveling the holy land
Opening telegrams

Don't thibk anyone got mine from the other day:

When you ask me do I mean it?
You have to know
You are the only one
You ask me if it is forever
How can I show?
There's no comparison

Mid 90's

To the one that was waiting for me

You marry him, your father will condone you

90s

Two Princes - Spin Doctors

I used to think that was a great song until I heard it recently and they just repeat the same two bars all the way through until they get to the the chorus. It's so tedious!

Timmy Mallet was the singer in Bombalarina. *@ProseccoBubbleFantasies*
I stand corrected, but not ashamed of not knowing that
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 08/07/2020 16:47

I'm so tired that I'm reading the lyrics and I know my head's singing the wrong songs.

Flea's actually I think might be David bowie.

Katherine's is morphing into never tear us apart. But I KNOW it's not that cos the lyrics are wrong. I think it might be something new romantic-y but I can't get there.

And coffee's I'm singing fall at your feet, which again, it isn't

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 08/07/2020 16:50

We haven't had one from this band for a while

I can't stand this indecision

80s

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 08/07/2020 16:54

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies Tears for Fears, Everybody Wants to Rule the World. First one I’ve managed to get in ages.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 08/07/2020 17:15

@xsquared 👍🏼. Oh dear, I remember it as being really good - not sure whether to listen now - I’d rather not be dissapointed.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 08/07/2020 17:17

Gotta move on.
