Oops - forgetting my manners Blush

Thanks for the not-so-new-now thread @CoffeeBeansGalore - haven’t had a chance to look until now.

I think @ProseccoBubbleFantasies must have used the dark arts to summon me Grin

I don’t think anyone got this from the last thread. 1980s.

Now it's colder every day
But she's still dreaming through the summer
And she's hoping through the spring
She says she's got no time for winter nights
She doesn't notice as the days grow colder

KatherineJaneway · 22/07/2020 06:57

Do I believe in god? Do I believe in me?
Some people wanna die so they can be free
(I said) life is just a game, we're all just the same...(do you wanna play?)

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 22/07/2020 08:23

And this one was left over for a couple of threads back. Not sure if it was just overlooked or if I need to add some more.

1970s

As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 22/07/2020 08:51

Hey you
I've seen your face before
It's you in the picture which hangs on my bedroom wall

1980s

ThatLibraryMiss · 22/07/2020 09:44

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress, running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations

70s

Honeyroar · 22/07/2020 09:52

Morning! I don’t know any of them!

Fleamaker123 · 22/07/2020 10:07

Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 22/07/2020 10:11

Well, Flea's is ABBA, one of us is lonely.

None of the others immediately jumped out at me. Will sing a little

Fleamaker123 · 22/07/2020 10:15

Yes Prosecco Smile

Fleamaker123 · 22/07/2020 10:17

Angel face, I love your smile,
Love your ways, I like your style.
What can I do to get closer to you?
Don't think twice or count to ten.
Don't take advice, don't ask me when.
Just come my way, simply kiss me and say:

81

CrepuscularCritter · 22/07/2020 10:18

CrepuscularCritter · 22/07/2020 10:23

For all my crimes

Of self defence

CrepuscularCritter · 22/07/2020 10:24

Beat me @CrepuscularCritter, Yours is Mirror in the bathroom By the Beat.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 22/07/2020 10:28

And all my doubts and fear
Kept me wondering
If I'd always, always be in love

90s

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 22/07/2020 10:51

Ok, I’ve added a bit more to these two.

The first one is from the 80s.

He came a long time ago
He came here in the winter snow
Now it's colder every day
But she's still dreaming through the summer
And she's hoping through the spring
She says she's got no time for winter nights
She doesn't notice as the days grow colder
She can't remember getting any older

I’m sure someone will get this next one now. 1970s.

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do

Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat

This town ain't big enough for the both of us. Sparks?
