Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go

Yeap @VictoriousSockPuppet

'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night

I throw a flush
I reveal my ace
The heart's my trump
I don't need no picture face
I'm laying my cards out on the table place

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Yes well done do you know the group?

Fleamaker123 · 12/08/2020 21:17

Barbados... that takes me back!
Here's another 70's one, reminds me of travelling on the motorway when I was a kid...

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs...

Ain't she a beautiful sight?

NeedToKnow101 · 12/08/2020 21:24

That's led me to...

We decide to get away
And have some fun
Book a room and catch a flight
For two weeks in the sun

1980

NeedToKnow101 · 12/08/2020 21:26

And...

I feel it inside my soul
Let it get into you

80s?

And another 80s

And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

Sounds like a kids' fruit drink featuring pineapple juice, doesn't it?
