Post a few lines of a song from the 70s, 80s, 90s & we will try to guess the song & singer/band.

Yep @Dragonfly3 - nice one

Coffee isn't that 'The Way it Is'? Can't think who sung it... I'm getting Paul Young coming to the front of my brain?!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 08/07/2020 23:25

@EugenesAxe Well done. The way it is. Bruce Hornsby, though I can see why you thought it may be Paul Young.

80s. (might have been done before!)

Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I don’t know when I’ll see you again

@Honeyroar yes your 80'a one was in the last thread, I couldn't get it then and even having seen the answer about two days ago I still can't get it Grin

Lol was my 80s one really done recently? I was absent for the last couple of days but have the memory of a goldfish anyway!

I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

Classic from' 75

Honeyroar · 09/07/2020 11:04

Yes @CoffeeBeansGalore

Well done for tagging people too!

But will the operator hold the line

There's no reply, no reply

Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky

@CoffeeBeansGalore - yay, I got one! I am a fan of TBBT but I really like moon pies (they're kind of like wagon wheels)
