Twig Your second one is The The Uncertain Smile. On which note, perhaps you can get an outstanding one of mine that's been lurking a while:

I've come to smell the seasons change
And watch the city as the sun goes down again

Fleamaker123 · 02/08/2020 13:52

Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and pleasure and the church bells softly chime
1982

When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
Originally 60s but best known version 70s

Fleamaker123 · 02/08/2020 20:12

You can count on it brother
'Cause we're all just finding our way
People got to keep pushing on
No matter how many dreams slip away

@CrepuscularCritter, yes! And yours is Heartland.

TwigTheWonderKid · 02/08/2020 21:45

Here's more of my outstanding one:

The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
XX just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and free us?
Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen to much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
80s

Hello. Sticking my head into the thread to say Imagination - Body Talk? @CoffeeBeansGalore

TwigTheWonderKid · 02/08/2020 22:48

@Honeyroar

One more bump for mine - 90s. Flying related..

Let’s go and see the stars
The Milky Way or evening Mars
Where it could just be ours
Let’s fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh Oh Oh yeah!

@Honeyroar yours is Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz
Honeyroar · 02/08/2020 22:52

Hooray @TwigTheWonderKid I thought I was going to have to type the whole thing - and I’d already said it was flying related!!🤣

CrepuscularCritter · 02/08/2020 22:52

That's the one Twig. It still makes my favourites playlist.

CrepuscularCritter · 02/08/2020 22:57

Still wonder why it is

I dont argue like this

With anyone but you

We do it all the time

Blowing out my mind

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/08/2020 23:30

Yes KatherineJaneway 👏

KatherineJaneway · 03/08/2020 09:40

No one said it was easy
But it once was so easy
Well I believed, I believed in love
Now here I stand
I wonder why

80's

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right

80's

Fleamaker123 · 03/08/2020 10:07

Fleamaker123 · 03/08/2020 10:09
