[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. 😊

@Fleamaker123

Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high Everybody's flying and never touch the sky 70/80's

Days Like These, John Lennon

Yes Twig 👏
I've been listening to the local radio station, they're doing 'songs that never get played on the radio any more' and that was one!

Where is everyone?!

Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on
80s ( but it refuses to die...(

I know Twig, was it something we said 😂

Yours is Journey, don't stop believing

Well done Flea! Well, seeing as it's just you and me, here's another for you:

We're heading for Venus
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all

Final Countdown, I think it was Europe

Yeap!

Ok how about:

Do you remember
Barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars?
Do you remember
The loving on the floor in Belsize Park?
Do you remember
Dancing in stilettos in the snow?
Do you remember
You never understood I had to go?

Hello! 😊 First chance I’ve had to sit down today and check the thread.

Will think up some stuff to post...

I was beginning to think you'd all buggered off to do something more exciting!

Well, clearly you had!

@TwigTheWonderKid

Yeap!

Marillion - Kayleigh

Eighties
See how the black moon fades
Soon I can give you my heart

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy

Eighties See how the black moon fades Soon I can give you my heart

I don't know no shame I feel no pain ?

That'd be Sinead O'Connor's Mandinka, although I always spell the song title wrong..

Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Early 90s

Well done @AJumpedUpPantryBoy

Europe - The Final Countdown.

And another early 90s, was re-released in the early noughties too.

You hold the answers deep within your own mind
Consciously, you've forgotten it
That's the way the human mind works:
Whenever something is too unpleasant
Too shameful for us to entertain
We reject it
We erase it from our memories
But the imprint is always there.

Early 90s

Manic Street Preachers - MotorCycle Emptiness Eighties Down by the docks the talking turned: "As some are striving to survive, the others thrive"

Manics indeed :)

All 70s

Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wonder

Well, you can bump and grind, it is good for your mind
Well, you can twist and shout, let it all hang out

Who calls me from the other side
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you're gone.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly the middle one is Children if the revolution by T-Rex

No-one has got my two latest ones... I think I've forgotten what they are too

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

All 70s

Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wonder

Well, you can bump and grind, it is good for your mind
Well, you can twist and shout, let it all hang out

Who calls me from the other side
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you're gone.

First one's Virginia Plain, Roxy Music.

Second one is T Rex Children if the Revolution

Not sure about the last one.

Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Or just another lost angel, city of night
City of night, city of night, city of night, woo, c'mon

1979s

Yeah something called love
That's like hypnotizing chickens
70s
