No, sorry.

Much dancier.

@NeedToKnow101 That's the one I thought! Bruce Hornsby & the range. I played it then realised it wasn't 🤔

A clue for this one:

When the angels from above
Fall down and spread their wings like doves
And we'll walk hand in hand

80s

Its an early house anthem..

These two from earlier are still up for grabs.

70s
seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below

90s
Now the morning breaks in showers, I guess
We'll remember this all of our lives

That you've been using me
I'm surprised you let me stay around you

VictoriousSockPuppet · 24/07/2020 20:54

VictoriousSockPuppet · 24/07/2020 20:58

70s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 24/07/2020 21:06

He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try

Dearly beloved

80s

Is 2 words too mean???

VictoriousSockPuppet · 24/07/2020 21:10

You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion

80s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 24/07/2020 21:13

Oh yeah the pirate radio told us what was going down

80s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 24/07/2020 21:13

Sorry, 90s, not 80s

Fleamaker123 · 24/07/2020 21:15

Yes Victorious, it was the Bee Gees

VictoriousSockPuppet · 24/07/2020 21:16

I'm giving it all in a moment or two
I'm giving it all in a moment for you
I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it

70s

Fleamaker123 · 24/07/2020 21:22

Couple of mine no-one's got yet...

Why you try to put up a front for me
I'm a spy but on your side you see
80's

Well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight
Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

Fleamaker123 · 24/07/2020 21:23

Not in this instance 😊

Prince, Let’s Go Crazy.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 24/07/2020 21:32

Don’t think anyone’s even had a guess at these two so I’ve added a little more.

70s
seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below so let your love light shine on me.

90s

There's something there
Among the fallen fruit and flowers, won't rest
Only minutes, only hours unless
Now the morning breaks in showers, I guess
We'll remember this all of our lives

Flea, the second one is cloud no 9. Bryan Adams, I think. Might not be him. But I'm getting pock-marked skin, so I think it is
VictoriousSockPuppet · 24/07/2020 21:38

Well done, Babooshka. But you haven't got the one I put up just for you.....

(Yet).

VictoriousSockPuppet · 24/07/2020 21:40

Yours aren't speaking to me. Sad

But I am drinking
