[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.

@VictoriousSockPuppet

You hardly talk to me anymore When I come through the door at the end of the day

70s

That’s you don’t bring me Flowers by Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond.

@VictoriousSockPuppet

See me pon the road I hear you call out to me True you see mi inna pants and ting

And that’s Uptown, Top Ranking by Althea and Donna.

Yes and yes Babooshka

Well done @shinynewapple2020. I wasn’t sure anyone else would remember it. I don’t think it did very well. I had really wanted their previous song Billy, Don’t Be a Hero, but I missed the boat and in those days you couldn’t really buy a single once it was out of the charts so I bought The Night Chicago Died instead!

I got two mixed up though. It was my second purchase. My first one was actually this one:

And we're living on caviar and honey (Hurray!)
Cause they're earning me lots of money
Writing comedy prose for radio shows

Is that david bowie in his somewhat less than cool laughing gnome phase????

@VictoriousSockPuppet yes love me for a reason - The Osmonds (70s) and BoyZone (90s)

We decide to get away
And have some fun
Book a room and catch a flight
For two weeks in the sun
She says, "Hawaii's too expensive."
I say, "Barbados isn't bad."

@NeedToKnow101

That's more Bermuda Triangle!

Victorious sock puppet is one woman in love and another you don’t bring me flowers barbra Streisand and Neil diamond

1970s

We'd go on forever
Lovers hand in hand
Can't you understand

Music plays, everyone's dancin' closer and closer
Makin' friends and findin' lovers

@VictoriousSockPuppet

It might be...

@TwigTheWonderKid - it is and I thought it would have been but couldn't find it.. getting lost in music!

I want to join a band and play in front of crazy fans
Yes, I call that temptation
Give me the melody that's all that I ever need
The music is my salvation
1970s

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

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

Still no takers for these then?

I’m adding more - lots more:

70s
seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below so let your love light
Shine on me
XXX, on the wing and open wide
No matter how high the moon
Shine down on me

90s
Don't tell me
That you get sick of living
When the summer's so forgiving, although we have stolen
All of the things that we thought we had owned then
Have disappeared
All these things in flavour
Won't do you no favours
When the summer's light is fragrant with scents of returning
You relent, you resent, now you're burning
For nothing to change
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

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The still cold smell of morning
1980s

(I learnt to play this on the clarinet!)

Is that Lost in Music by Sister Sledge Coffee?

Elaine Page Memory from Cats.

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me
Csnt Smile Without You
Barry Manilow

Just caught up today, and apart from Tears For Fears, I'm struggling. They this from 1973:

You caught yourself a trick down on Sunset and Vine

But since he pinned you baby, you're a porcupine

That's Cracked Actor by Bowie

Does anyone know which Bowie song my username comes from?

@Willow2017 Correct to Memory, although I only know the Barbara Streisand version.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly Correct to Lost in music 😊

@ellie1967

Yes. I put them up for twig because she said something about don't get me started on Barbara Streisand, and I really like those songs
