Like the merry go round I'm going up I'm going down

80's

Yes coffee. Well done

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

So you lot really can guess a song from just 2 words #seriouslyimpressed . I think the only two outstanding from mine are...

Going nowhere x2
Add from a different part of the song:

No expression x 2

And I-I-I-oh-I
Try from another part of the song: Why-y-y-oh-why

Just the top one to get.

Anyone want to try and get it from just these words or do you want more?

Big 80s hit.

I'll give you another line Prosecco...

Like the merry go round
I'm going up
I'm going down
I'm on a dead end street.

Fleamaker is that Alison Moyet? Can't get the song yet though, despite singing it over and over.

Ah!!!! Alison Moyet. Of course.

That explains why I couldn't get the voice in my head. She's got that amazing rich voice

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 16/07/2020 19:42

To the other side

CrepuscularCritter · 16/07/2020 19:54

Fleamaker123 · 16/07/2020 20:41

Yes Crepuscular and Coffee, Alison Moyet

Fleamaker123 · 16/07/2020 20:48

She had sultry eyes
She made it perfectly plain
That she was his for a price

'80's

CoffeeBeansGalore · 16/07/2020 21:06

When all our luck runs out again
We're brought back down to solid ground
I wouldn't say I'm mad about the rain
But we'll get through it anyway
We'll get back to the start again
