[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.

@TwigTheWonderKid

Emotions come, I don't know why Cover up love's alibi 70s

I move a little closer to you
Not knowing quite what to do
And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs
Spill my tea, oh, silly me
80s

It's getting kind of late now I wonder if you'll stay now or will just politely say goodnight ...

Hazel....

...O Connor - Will You? Gorgeous song!

Don’t you think it’s funny that nothing’s what it seems
When you’re not looking forward
Me I’d like to think that life is like a drink
And I’m hoping that it tastes like bourbon
(80s, I think!)

Actually that might be 90s!

Linking to the hazel O'Connor song, it made me think of this one

Well another crazy day
You'll drink the night away

Another great sax track.
Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty

Indeed.

I always think this one is a similar genre too-

I look around me and feel you are ever so close to me
Each tear that falls from my eye brings back memories of you to me
(80s)

Honeyroar That's The Wonderstuff - Size of a Cow.

Good team effort @midgebabe and @Honeyroar!

@Honeyroar your last one is I go To Sleep by The Pretenders

Yes @CrepuscularCritter 😀
Yes@TwigTheWonderKid 😃

Oh I missed a few of these and would have definitely got them. 😢👀.

How about this 80s smash...!

Somewhere in the distance
Hidden from view
Suspended in the atmosphere
Waiting to come through

In and out my mind goes
In and out it goes
To tell me it’s cruel
My trust in you
(80s)

OMG @NeedToKnow101 I was just about to post a Toyah lyric too! It's a Mystery...

@TwigTheWonderKid wow probably we are all merging to a shared brain!!!
Tbh Hazel O'Connor and Toyah always remind me of each other.

@TwigTheWonderKid

Emotions come, I don't know why Cover up love's alibi 70s

I move a little closer to you
Not knowing quite what to do
And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs
Spill my tea, oh, silly me
80s

I don't think anyone's got the first one yet ?

Blondie Call me

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and

80s

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
1980s

Boy, nothin' in life is free
That's why I'm askin' you what can you do for me
I've got responsibilities
So I'm lookin' for a man whose got money in his hands

80s

Need to know your last one is Ain’t nothing going on but the rent - Gwen Gutherie

@coffee yours is Poison - Aerosmith??

Oh and @NeedToKnow101 your first one just came to me.
Don’t you forget about me - Simple minds

La la la la la..

The victims of this world
Are advertised on posters
Just a beach and a pretty girl
You just drink this potion
(90s. Bloody awesome song!)

@Honeyroar Poison, yes but not Aerosmith. Will leave it in case someone wants a guess 😊
