[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.

Nice easy one.. written in the 70s - big hit in the 80s

No more war, no more war, no more war
Just a little peace
No more war, no more war
All we want is some peace in this world

@NeedToKnow101 is that Culture Club?

I know. And I need to go to bed.

@CoffeeBeansGalore - nope!. Sorry!

[quote Honeyroar]@NeedToKnow101 you’ve spent too long with the Prosecco drinking sock fantasy puppet thing![/quote]
Ahem!

The returning absent one gets to Criticise not!

@CoffeeBeansGalore I think your second one is Red Light Spells Danger, Billy Ocean but i'd have guessed it a lot earlier than 90's

I thought I saw this lyric earlier this evening then I lost it !!

Don't worry @Honeyroar, they just missed you 😊

@shinynewapple2020 Yes, Billy Ocean & released in 1991!

Maybe it just sounds 70s/ 80s then!!

My other outstanding one is by someone who sounds like a pasta dish 😁

Don't worry @Honeyroar, they just missed you 😊
True dat! 😍😘

@CoffeeBeansGalore - Spaghetti Poliiti?????

All my lazy teenage boasts
Are now high precision ghosts
And they're coming 'round the track to haunt me
1980s

@NeedToKnow101 Close 🤣

Prefab Sprout, The King of a Rock and Roll.

Rock and Roll. Not a rock and roll. Time for bed I think...

@SingingBabooshkaBadly Yes! Goodnight 😊

I'm loving these threads, music just relaxes me, provokes a huge array of emotions, and makes me use my brain. Just awesome 👏😀❣️

Night night :)

Well done @SingingBabooshkaBadly yes to Birdhouse in Your Soul and The Killing Moon

yes to Prince!

An unsolved one of mine, from the 80s, with more lines:

I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough

Painful to me
Pearce right through me
Can you understand
(89/90)

Folks were screaming
Out of control
It was so entertaining
(70s)

Just a man
With a man’s courage
(80s)

honeyroar is the first one Enjoy the silence by Depeche Mode?
The second is Disco inferno but I can't recall the artist...

The Trammps!
