[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. 😊

@SingingBabooshkaBadly
Yes to the Three Degrees

The UB40 and Neil Diamond versions of Red Red Wine are very different! (As you would imagine !)

What do you think you'll do then?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

1970s

Kenneth Boothe sang Red Red Wine previously.

What do you think you'll do then?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Elton John, yellow brick road

Because I chose to play the fool in a six-piece band,
First-night nerves every one-night stand.

1970s

I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found
