Both Flea and X are right ✅

Oh of course, in my head I could see Phyllis Nelson 🤣

Fleamaker123 · 03/08/2020 11:18

Sometimes I think this phone is so used to me talking codswallop that it automatically changes the sensible stuff I write!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/08/2020 12:03

Morning all

Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
1990s

“You are my fire, my one desire...”

I want it that way - by one of the 90s boy bands that all merge into one another! (I quite liked this song though. Was it Boyzone?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/08/2020 13:16

@Honeyroar right song, but it was the Backstreet Boys. You are right though, it was difficult to tell them apart 😁

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
1990s

Macie grey. Can't think of the title....

VictoriousSockPuppet · 03/08/2020 14:06

Got it!
I try to say goodbye and I choke
Walk away and I stumble!!!!

VictoriousSockPuppet · 03/08/2020 14:06

I'll put some up in a minute

Fleamaker123 · 03/08/2020 14:49

Now you're here, there's a full brass band
Playing in me like a wonderland

'91

VictoriousSockPuppet · 03/08/2020 15:07

I really wanna see you
Really wanna see you

70s

Darkest of mountains with valleys of green
Past painted deserts the sun sets on fire

70s

Play the game
Fight the fight
But what's the point
On a beautiful night

80s

No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

70s

And I'd never heard of this before, and had to google it, so good luck:
Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little love
And we will make it work out better
I don't ask for much, I only want your trust

70s

There is a theme (hence the last one)

ellie1967 · 03/08/2020 15:12

Victorious is your first one my sweet lord George Harrison?

Fleamaker123 · 03/08/2020 15:13

Play the game
Fight the fight
But what's the point
On a beautiful night

80s
Paul McCartney, Frog Chorus

ellie1967 · 03/08/2020 15:14

And the fourth one imagine John lennon

ellie1967 · 03/08/2020 15:14

The link is the Beatles

Fleamaker123 · 03/08/2020 15:14

No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

John Lennon, Imagine

Fleamaker123 · 03/08/2020 15:18

Darkest of mountains with valleys of green
Past painted deserts the sun sets on fire

Mull of Kintyre, Paul McCartney or Wings

Apologies, not sure why that last post doubled up!

@ellie1967

The link is the Beatles
Kinda.

The link is solo stuff they did.

The last one is Ringo, so no surprise if no one's heard of it Grin (poor ringo).

Everyone guessed right

VictoriousSockPuppet · 03/08/2020 17:00

That's funny, coffee 💋

I don't know flea's though.

Fleamaker123 · 03/08/2020 19:25

(Ok here's a bit more, this is the start...)

I was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn't stop at my station
