[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Hi All

Thread 6 here we go.

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

1980s
I might shoot to win
And commit the sin
Wanting more than I've already got

You're the best thing. Style council

Yes to The Thomson Twins Prosecco

Oh sorry wrong song

I'm gettin' back in the game!!!!!

(Not a song lyric, just happy its friday night AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDD the start of the school holidays 🎉)

Is it not Thompson twins, then? I was sure it was

Well we've got no class
And we've got no principles
And we've got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

Early 70s

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Is it not Thompson twins, then? I was sure it was

It's Thompson Twins but not Hold me now

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Well we've got no class And we've got no principles And we've got no innocence We can't even think of a word that rhymes

Is this School's Out ?

You wake up late for school, man you DON'T WANNA GO
You ask your mom, please BUT SHE STILL SAYS NO
you.missed two classes, AND NO HOMEWORK
but your teacher preaches class LIKE YOURE SOME KINDA JERK

80s

Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young
So now I live to sing

Late 70s. Was listening to this today!

All their songs are so bloody interchangeable. Although I did have their cassette.

Can't think of any other titles atm. Maybe someone else will swoop in

I tried this one earlier in this thread- it's Northern Lights by Renaissance. What a voice! Great song but her five octave range makes it hard to sing along with.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

I'm adaptable and I like my new role I'm getting better and better And I have a new goal I'm changing my ways where money applies

80s

I'm not expecting this one to be got, cos in earlier threads you've not been punk fans, but this isn't really punk

PiL This is Not a Love Song

80s:
I'll go walking in circles while doubting the very ground beneath me
