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.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

It's that time of year again I can taste the air

90s

Stereophonics Local Boy in a photograph. Lovely, sad song.
SingingBabooshkaBadly · 20/07/2020 12:55

Well done @Iggi999. I know, it's one of those songs I can't sing without, at the very least, a wobble in my voice - especially that line 'he'll always be twenty-three..'

@SingingBabooshkaBadly Two tribes, yes 👍😊

Ok, general consensus so far for next thread. Definitely not noughties. Maybe throw in a few late 60s, but generally keep to 70s, 80s 90s? To be fair, it's worked well so far. 😁

Honeyroar · 20/07/2020 13:58

@KatherineJaneway yes it’s Curiosity. ✅😃

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 20/07/2020 14:01

Isn't it hold me now?

Honeyroar · 20/07/2020 14:07

I’d guess You Take me up too.

shinynewapple2020 · 20/07/2020 14:16

It's definitely You Take me up - I posted it a couple of days back Wink

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/07/2020 14:32

Thompson Twins, You take me up. Well done! Apologies @shinynewapple2020 , didn't realise 😊

It's hard to keep up when there are so many songs over all the threads , particularly when you are so good at posting lyrics @CoffeeBeansGalore . I'm rubbish at getting round to putting lyrics up - I'll try and do better on the next thread ! Smile

This goes on to sing about leaving a name and a number and I'll get back to you... I would guess Curiosity Killed the Cat, but I've been wrong before!

You’d have guessed right Iggi but you’ve been beaten to it.
