And he handed her a piece of paper he'd been writin' on
And after wipin' her hands on her apron she read it, and this is what it said

70s

@Willow2017 - but another of one of my many non-guessed ones is a Stevie Wonder song 🙌🏼

Iggi999 · 28/07/2020 22:28

Well done xsquared

@Willow2017

*And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed It said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him*

That's 'Cats in the cradle'
Harry something?

@Willow2017, yes on the title, and it was Harry Chapin.

Just one more to get, on the theme of fathers:
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go

90s
We're all alone in a villa on the Rivera
That's in France on the south side in case you care

If not, it's Prince Sexy MF

xsquared · 28/07/2020 23:49

I've got one:

Was a time when I wasn't sure but you set my mind at ease.
There is no doubt you're in my heart now.

80s.

Victorious is yours no charge?

VictoriousSockPuppet · 29/07/2020 00:30

Patience, xsquared. I put some (different) lyrics from that song on the last thread and no one got them.

I love that song.

Guns n Roses.

(I think the lyrics I put up were from towards the end - "I've been walking the streets at night" section)

VictoriousSockPuppet · 29/07/2020 00:30

Yes, ellie. Well done.
A truly terrible song!

VictoriousSockPuppet · 29/07/2020 00:33

For anyone, but especially xsquared. I find this song similar, and love it just as much:

I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

80s

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films
1980s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 29/07/2020 00:36

What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

1990

CoffeeBeansGalore · 29/07/2020 00:40

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly
1990s

Racing 'cross the desert
At a hundred miles an hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder

@TwigTheWonderKid

Don't think anyone got this on e of mine from this morning so I'll add a bit more:

Plug into her electric cool
Where things bend and break
And shake to the rule
Talking fast couldn't tell me something
I would shed my skin for you
Talking fast on the edge of nothing
I would break my back for you
Don't know why, don't know why
Things vaporize and rise to the sky

80s

The Jesus and Mary Chain

Blow up the tv
Blow up the car
Without these things
You don't know where you are
