Friday night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat but it's soothing, heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town

NeedToKnow101 · 22/07/2020 23:05

In you I've found a story I want to keep hearing.
In you I see all colors
Not just black or white.
In you I find a reason and hope for all dreamers

Blueskysunsout · 22/07/2020 23:15

@Honeyroar yes 😊

Blueskysunsout · 22/07/2020 23:16

I’m a bit late to the game I hope I’m not repeating any earlier ones.

This is a statement not a lyric 😊

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/07/2020 23:16

Blast. Went to put the dogs to bed & missed a load!

😂😂@Blueskysunsout

I think we plan on playing this game forever so there's bound to be a few repeats 😂

@CoffeeBeansGalore - no-one's got this one yet...

If a child lives with crazy he goes out of his mind
I didn't live with nothin' that's worth talkin' about
But I didn't live with nothin' no I never went without

80s

Blueskysunsout · 22/07/2020 23:22

What seed must I sow to replenish this barren land
Teach me to harvest, I want you to grow in my hand
Let's be optimistic, let's say that we won't toil in vain
If we pull together we'll never fall apart again

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/07/2020 23:22

@NeedToKnow101 pass 🤣

CrepuscularCritter · 22/07/2020 23:27

Like Adam and Eve we took bite on the apple

Loose change in my pocket started to rattle

Heart like a gun was just half of the battle

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/07/2020 23:28

No such thing as too easy 😁

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

A couple from the 90s

Got too much time to kill
Get into bands and gangs

Take a left down echo park, a kid asks do I want some crack
T.V. sets are spewing Baywatch through the windows into black

If this is still outstanding the first one is Beautiful Ones by Suede.

@PawFives

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

Another one that may not have been done: the first one is Only Happy When It Rains, Garbage.
Blueskysunsout · 22/07/2020 23:48

You're begging me to go
Then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad
