[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again!

Post a few lines of lyrics & let the rest of us have a go at guessing the song & artist.
Songs from 70s, 80s 90s.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

Looks at *@VictoriousSockPuppet*. Shakes head sadly...

Bet you get this one though. Originally 60s. Numerous versions since, including an 80s top ten hit.

You can look but you’d better not touch.

Poison Ivy, dunno singer.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Been on this path of life for so long Feel I've walked a thousand miles Sometimes strolled hand in hand with love Everybody's been there 1990s

Never Forget- Take That

Take that - Never Forget

Ah Poison Ivy - I think the 1980s version was by The Lambretta's

It's still the title of a Springsteen song but I didn't think that was what @SingingBabooshkaBadly has in mind with the lyric

I can feel the earth begin to move
I hear my needle hit the groove
80s

1990s

And the good people of the world
Are washing their cars in their lunch breaks

Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby

Shiny is that Sheryl crow all I wanna do is have some fun

1980s

Radio, TV news
Gotta find a way
To get the message to you

@ellie1967 yes to Sheryl Crowe

@KatherineJaneway

Oh, darling, when you're near me And you tenderly call my name I know that my emotions Are something I just can't tame I've just got to have you, baby

@KatherineJaneway, that's I feel the earth move by Carole King.

Lay down your bundles of rags and reminders
And spread your wares on the ground

A 70s students' union favourite.

@CoffeeBeansGalore -
Saying oh yeah
Life goes on,
long after the thrill of living is gone

I love this lyric -
Jack and Diane by John Cougar Mellancamp. I know I've been beaten but it's about the only one I've got all day!

1970s

It must have been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give

@CrepuscularCritter - that’s Pretty in Pink.

@shinynewapple2020 - oh, that might be a line from a Springsteen song but it’s not the song I’m thinking of.

Oops - sorry. Didn’t refresh the page!

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn

90s

Haven’t been able to keep up with the thread, but here are a few more.

90s: I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black

70s: You’d be on the skids if it weren’t for your job in the garage

@PawFives - yes to Birdhouse in Your Soul 🌟

@shinynewapple2020 yes, I was thinking of the Lambretta’s Poison Ivy. It’s also been covered by the Stones and about a gazillion other acts.

@shinynewapple2020

1970s

It must have been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give

@shinynewapple2020, Touch me in the morning by Diana Ross. Great song, great singer.

@PawFives, your 70s one is Picture This by Blondie

70s: You’d be on the skids if it weren’t for your job in the garage
Picture this
Blondie

Yes @ThatLibraryMiss
I love that song too.

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together

70s. I loved the 70s.

Yes - @ThatLibraryMiss & @Willow2017
