Thanks coffee.

See you guys later x

Two from me that no one got on the last thread:

And if you don't intend 2 see it through
Why did we ever start?
Oh, I want to hear you tell me
You don't want my love

80s

Hey shell, you know it's kind of funny
Texas always seemed so big
But you know you're in the largest state of the union

80s

I suddenly thought of this song today. I only know it/the artist because my DH is an old hippy, but I absolutely LOVE this song. The lyrics are fantastic. Anyone else know it? I can't put up my favourite lyric from the song, because it contains the title, but does anyone recognise....

You tell me that I can't see you problem
But I don't have to live with you to know
That she's a very beautiful young woman
And you're a fool if you can let her go

70s

@VictoriousSockPuppet your middle one is Anchorage, Michelle Shocked.

No idea about the other two though.

Yes, Twig! Well done.

I got a real (michelle) shock arf when I suddenly thought yesterday that I don't think she's made an appearance on here yet.

As for the last one, I'm not sure anyone will know it. I only do because DH was quite a serious hippy and is quite a bit older than me (although I do genuinely love the song).
But we shall see...

The other one is dross pure 80s pop

Your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need

80s

I listened to the album this is from obsessively when I was 15. Not my favourite song but this is the most well known from that album:

Well, I walked to your house in the afternoon
By the butcher shop with the sawdust strewn
"Don't give away the goods too soon"
Is what she might have told me

Sorry, 1980s

Evening all

When you see her, say a prayer and kiss your heart goodbye
She's trouble, in a word get closer to the fire
Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside
You're spinning round and round
You can't get up, you try but you can'
1980s

@VictoriousSockPuppet Your 80s one, from the description I am guessing a Kylie or Jason offering?

@TwigTheWonderKid, Marlene on the wall by Suzanne Vega.

just move your self
And Glide like a 747

is on the end of thread 8

And I never knew the second line
Yet I almost know the song, not my genre

And I think the word groove will feature

Thanks CoffeeBeansGalore 😀

Just move yourself
And glide like a seven-forty-seven

@midgebabe you've nearly got it 👍

It’s Let’s Groove Tonight, isn’t it? Don’t know the artist as usual!

@VictoriousSockPuppet I haven’t heard Trumpton Riots for ages. My friend loved them. I wasn’t that keen!

Thanks @CoffeeBeansGalore.

That's right @ThatLibraryMiss

Just posted on the end of the last thread...Earth Wind & Fire - Let's Groove.

@coffee is yours Madonna Who’s that girl?

@Honeyroar yes, Madonna 👍😊

Correct Crepuscular for 🌎🍃🔥

I’m so behind!

Somebody - I think Honey - posted Drowning in Berlin by the Mobiles on the last thread.

Oh well done @SingingBabooshkaBadly I’d forgotten I’d posted that one! I think it was me!🤣

Three here with a connection. First two from the 70s. Last one is 90s.

If I had my way she’d be back today
But she don’t intend to see me again

Each night my voice happens to sneak
Through your transistor radio, ho-ho-ho
I'm just a secret you can keep
And no one ever needs to know

Dans leurs yeux des dollars
Dans leurs sourires des diamants
Moi aussi, un jour
Je serai beau comme un Dieu

Can't guess any of yours @SingingBabooshkaBadly.

Nobody got this from the last thread and I gave the clue as Australian actor, but not Jason Donovan.

I wake up every night to the sound of breaking glass
Got troops in the bed, and tanks in the hall.
