@Honeyroar

What’s wrong with Level 42 Sock? I like them.
Bit naff maybe
ThatLibraryMiss · 07/08/2020 10:58

@SingingBabooshkaBadly, yes, well done on getting the last one - I was surprised it took so long with all the talk of Bowie on the thread at the time.

@Honeyroar, the dark clouds hide the sun is from When all is said and done by Abba..

Honeyroar · 07/08/2020 12:43

Yes it’s ABBA!✅

I know it’s getting late but I won’t hesitate
Can’t slow down
Got to do what I do

@Honeyroar - I know I know that one, but can't remember what it's called or who it's by. Or the tune! Grin

One from me:

For you, there'll be no more crying.
For you, the sun will be shining.
And I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right.
Orginal 1970s, huge cover in 90s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 07/08/2020 16:55

If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me

@CoffeeBeansGalore, the second one is Songbird and the third is Go your own way, both by Fleetwood Mac from the Rumours album.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 07/08/2020 16:57

Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey hey

I have one:

Get out quick 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way you'll ever know.

Fleamaker123 · 07/08/2020 17:10

Yes Victorious it was ELO sweet talkin woman ✅

NeedToKnow101 · 07/08/2020 17:14

Some nice cheery 1970s lyrics Grin...

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 07/08/2020 17:16

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off

1970s

ThatLibraryMiss · 07/08/2020 17:19

@SingingBabooshkaBadly, your latest is Alone again, naturally by Gilbert O'Sullivan

CoffeeBeansGalore · 07/08/2020 17:23

Get out quick 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way you'll ever know.
