Livin' on a prayer...

Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Because the night

Ok, the first lines of my outstanding one. Mixed group, female singer.

Well you can give me all your love
And anything else you got too

Also my very first one no one has attempted:

Make a wish, make a move
Make up your mind, you can choose
When you're up, when you're down
When you need a laugh come around
1990s

Through the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever crying
1970s

If you want the fruit to fall
You have to give the tree a shake
1980s

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
1990s (I apologise now)

@CoffeeBeansGalore

The second one is Mary's prayer by Danny Wilson.

Honeyroar · 21/07/2020 13:47

70s = Rod Stewart - I am Sailing
80s = Mary’s Prayer - Danny Wilson
90s No idea and am quite pleased about that!

Honeyroar · 21/07/2020 13:49

80s

I’ll watch you crumble
Like a very old wall
I’ll see you stranded

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/07/2020 13:52

Well done all 👍Just the 90s one to go (say goodbye to your street cred if you get it 🤣)

Is the 90s one Spaceman? The one used in the advert with a great few bars and the rest was bobbins? Can't remember the guy's name or the band tho.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/07/2020 14:18

@idlevice Sorry no. More history than sci fi 😁

Thanks for the thread Coffee Smile

Every morning when sun is dawning
You'll see him down on the beach
Look out girl, beware
Better take good care
Keep yourself out of reach

I know that one Fleamaker. Singing it through but it's not coming. I'm meant to be working , it's going to distract me now !
