@SimplySteveRedux

There's just another life to save.

Hmm. Fuzzbox, International Rescue ? Girl band, Thunderbirds song.


I love when you do
That hocus pocus to me
The way that you touch
You've got the power to heal

Early 90s.

Yes, well done.

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair
1969

Where do you go to my lovely? As usual I don’t know who sang it!

shinynewapple2020 · 27/07/2020 10:32

1970s

The city life of flashing lights
Busy streets and fancy cars
Booze and clubs and all the drugs

1990s

Voices on a cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell

1970s

It was a really nice night for a good street fight or a robbery
But I always knew in my home town that would never happen to me

There is a theme Smile

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/07/2020 10:32

Morning @Honeyroar, Correct. And it was Peter Sarstedt.

Honeyroar · 27/07/2020 10:33

I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house.
(90s. Easy!)

shinynewapple2020 · 27/07/2020 10:33

Oh where do you go to my lovely was Peter Sarsted (spell?)

Honeyroar · 27/07/2020 10:35

Well done shiny!

VictoriousSockPuppet · 27/07/2020 10:35

Honey's is blur. Parklife.

That was the only one that jumped at me

Honeyroar · 27/07/2020 10:37

It’s a crack I’m back
Yeah I’m standing on the rooftop
Shouting out

Honeyroar · 27/07/2020 10:38

Yes it was Blur✅

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/07/2020 10:38

I only knew Parklife! I need coffee . . .

I know two of Shiny’s trio have the same city in the title but don’t know artists!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/07/2020 11:09

Well I know I'm not super hip
And I'm liable to take a slip
But I don't care how cold you are
I'm coming home soon
1970s

Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be
1980s

Folks say I'm tripping and I'm losing my mind
Walking in circles and I'm talking in rhymes
I can't help it 'cause it happens each time when you're near
1990s

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Your first one is David Essex - Gonna Make you a Star

shinynewapple2020 · 27/07/2020 11:13

So you've spotted the link @Honeyroar
I'll give it a bit longer and add another couple of lines to the lyrics

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/07/2020 11:32

@shinynewapple2020. Yes, well done.

As your link is cities, is it New York?

OP posts:
shinynewapple2020 · 27/07/2020 11:42

Yes New York is the link , shall I add more lyrics to the songs ?

NeedToKnow101 · 27/07/2020 11:44

Morning all! I can't get any of them 😢😭🤯.
No-one got a couple of mine either yesterday. I thought one was quite easy.

shinynewapple2020 · 27/07/2020 11:48

First song
1970s

This city life of flashing lights
Busy streets and fancy cars
Booze and drugs and all the clubs
Everyone's a shining star
...........

In my life there's no place for the man that I love
Cause I'm living my life just to sing and be free
