[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. 😊

[quote TwigTheWonderKid]@NeedToKnow101, yes it is I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man. Any idea on the others? They are all linked...[/quote]
@TwigTheWonderKid - hmmm nothing so far, but here are some 80s lyrics that might be the same theme..?

Oh I think I want to leave
But I can't swallow my pride
My midnight lover loves another guy

"@NeedToKnow101 - a little harsh on yourself I think "
😂😂

@NeedToKnow101, I don't think so. Don't recognise your lyrics but mine are linked in a very specific way.

Celebrations in the heart 'cause we're united
And there's nothing in this world to come between me and you
We're together, and it keeps me so excited
1980s

@TwigTheWonderKid - all Prince, but can't get the songs

@NeedToKnow101 Yes, well done 👍😊

Yes, @NeedToKnow101 they are. First one is very early.

Here is the first verse of the last one:
This will be the day
That you will hear me say
That I will never run away

Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end
Late 1960s

@NeedToKnow101 - now that you’ve redeemed yourself by identifying Shalamar will you be excusing yourself the horrible nettle pyjamas?

Or do you secretly enjoy the nettle pyjamas..? 😆

Nights in white satin Moody Blues Brill song.😄

@Willow2017 Correct 😊

70s
Too bad there ain't ten of you
Then I'd show you what I'd do
I could cheat on five of you
And be faithful to you too

80s
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair

90s
The old hometown just looks the same
Like a derelict man who had died out of shame
Like a jumble sale left out in the rain

Babooshka - and in my blue eyes. Is that Wonderful Life?

@SingingBabooshkaBadly - I decided to be kind to myself and not wear them, although nettle pyjamas would definitely have given me a night to remember! Boom boom!

Instinctively you give to me
The love that I need
I cherish the moments with you

@KatherineJaneway

Upside down - Diana Ross

Yes Xsquared👍

I’ve waited hours for this
I’ve made myself so sick
I wish I’d stayed asleep today
(80s)

The Cure, Close to Me @Honeyroar - love that song 😊

Yes Victorious, it’s Wonderful Life.

No takers for the other two?

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Late 70s

All 80s

Was it something I've said or done
That made him pack his bags up and run
Could it be another he's found

And in her mouth, an amethyst
And in her eyes, two sapphires blue

In coats of many colour
Reptile man drop

Touch we touch was the heat too much
I felt I lost you from the start

And any takers for this from last night?

Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman who has laid too many bets

1970s
