[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again!

Post a few lines of lyrics with the decade & let the rest of us have a go at guessing the song & artist.
Songs from 70s, 80s 90s. 😊

Coffee, that's Three times a lady by the Commodores.

Seems the good 70s ones get posted late at night so I miss them because of my need for sleep! How did it take so long to get Stairway to Heaven?

The commodores?

Well done, Yes the Commodores.

Hello @ssd!

@VictoriousSockPuppet - yes victory for you again with Eddy Grant Electric Avenue

All you fear, is fear its self
Check our your own back yard before you check out someone else

I know it from the 70s but I think it's been covered..

Hello

Hello!

How can I know what I would do
if I was really losing you
when it isn't true
(when it isn't true)
How can I know how I'd react
before I have to face the fact
of a broken heart.

'79

And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
1977

I can feel your sweet caress
Wash away all the loneliness that I once felt
Inside my heart, oh yeah
Boy if you can read my mind
I'm sure that you could find
What you've been searching for
What you've been searching for

Original in the 80s

For Library, and no excuses as it's not night-time....

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes they do)
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how 'bout you?

70s

I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes
I sometimes feel I should just go home
But I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets

70s

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away

70s

Are you ready Steve? Uh-huh
Andy? Yeah
Mick? Okay
Alright fellas, let's go!…

70s

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine

70s

Ow, oh, hey, you
Who said that?
Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know
You won't know until you begin

80s

They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

80s

Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine

80s

Plus there was another one from last night which didn't get got. Actually a couple. But one def wasn't rock!
