@Fleamaker123

Victorious, you've got the right song, you're so close!
I'm giving myself the point, flea. Although I am prepared to share it with shiny
Fleamaker123 · 31/07/2020 20:08

Victorious gets the point

But it's not Foreigner

My tender love will flow from
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean

Love just like addiction now I'm hooked on you

I posted this yesterday

She talks like thunder
She really lets you know
She keeps changing the rules
And leaves you no place to go

It's 1980s, clue to the title - there is a link with the other songs I posted which were 'blue hat for a blue day' and 'wherever I lay my hat '

NeedToKnow101 · 31/07/2020 21:29

@Honeyroar - correct!
@shinynewapple2020 - well I can guess the theme! Grin

shinynewapple2020 · 31/07/2020 21:32

Tonight
We'll leave the world behind
Tonight
From now the place is right
So put your hand in mine
And

Late 70's
