Yesterday, when it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said, "It's love", you said, "Alright"
1970s

80s, Scottish, not a massive chart hit so giving you a whole verse!

I wondered if she ever thought of
All the places she's never been
I guess she took a look outside
And didn't like what she had seen
She's says nothing, rather than -
be in a world that she can't believe in

Roxy Music, Coffee, is it Dance Away?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/07/2020 00:49

@Iggi999 yes, correct 😊👍

New to this thread, but here's my offering, it's from the 80s...

Once I was young
Once I was smart
Now I'm living on the edge of my nerves
The things we said weren't quite so tough
When we were young

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/07/2020 00:54

To my surprise, one hundred stories high
People getting loose y'all, getting down on the roof
1970s

Your life's a passing star
The price you paid was dear
You make the most of my life
Yet movements dance with fear
1980s

Oh darn, so annoyed I didn’t stay on the thread and missed Dance Away!

Hello Destiny and welcome. 😊

This is Japan, The Art of Parties from the wonderful Tin Drum album.

Now the party's over
I'm so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
1980s

Avalon by Roxy Music @CoffeeBeansGalore 😊

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 18/07/2020 01:38

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work and baby what did you except

1980s

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 18/07/2020 01:43

What's with these homies, dissing my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent?

1990s

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 18/07/2020 01:44

She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine

1970s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/07/2020 01:50

Did anyone get this one of mine?

Just bees and things and flowers

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/07/2020 09:25

@NeedToKnow101 I don't think anyone got it. Would you care to add a few more lyrics?

Morning all 😊
