We don't need romance,
we only want to dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down

There's nothing that I wouldn't do
It's not the way I planned it
Show me how you want it to be

I can't work out which of the test are outstanding and what's been got.
But I can see Pantry is back. Hello! Not seen you for a few of these threads.

Pretty please, as it seems a few of us have had busy weekends, could anything outstanding be reposted? I promise to put lots of lyrics up tomorrow in return.

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

Ooh missed that it's
Hammer Horror

@CoffeeBeansGalore is the second one a boyband?

ThatLibraryMiss · 17/08/2020 09:07

SingingBabooshkaBadly established that the last song is Handle With Care by the Travelling Wilburys, and the connection's Bob Dylan. The first and middle are up for grabs. The middle one is about Dylan not written or sung by him.

Lyrics again:
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
60s

The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Could keep you unharmed
70s

Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, you're adorable
80s

Willow2017 · 17/08/2020 09:19

Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you

That's. Lay Lady Lay

Sorry, not been around much, got lots going on, plus haven’t had a clue when I’ve popped in and looked at what’s left to guess! I don’t know what’s outstanding so here are a couple from me.

But did you know
Of the murder committed
In the name of love
You thought what a pity
(80s)

I thought I was mistaken
I thought I’d heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
(80s)

ThatLibraryMiss · 17/08/2020 11:52

Yes, @Willow2017, well done! Just the second one left now.

VictoriousSockPuppet · 17/08/2020 12:15

new order, Honey - how does it feel

VictoriousSockPuppet · 17/08/2020 12:29

Ok, sorry I've not been around much this weekend. Here's a few....

Your love is slipping through my hands
And though I've heard it all before
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use

boak 80s

Why pamper life's complexity

80s Nice to have you back on the thread AJumpedUpPantryBoy

Music is the key to set me free
To the beat (on the street) I'm jumping
Forgetting all the things they said 'bout me

80s

Then you break a window
Burn the soufflé
Scream the lullaby

80s

You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying

70s

It's not the way that you caress me, toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness, you fill with your desire

80s

I lost my friends, I dance alone
It's six o'clock, I want to go home
But it's "no way, " "not today"
Makes you wonder what it meant
And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows
And you want to call your mother
And say "mother, I can never come home again
'Cause I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere
Somewhere in a field in Hampshire, all right"

90s

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve

I'd have sworn 70s, but google tells me 80s

Victorious first one Gloria Estefan can’t stay away from you and last one Elo hold on tight to your dreams ?

NeedToKnow101 · 17/08/2020 12:50

1980
Instinctively you give to me
The love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully I say to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
When no one makes me feel like you do

(So many lyrics are cringe aren't they!)

NeedToKnow101 · 17/08/2020 12:52

You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying

Is that Dance Away Roxy Music (probably wrong as usual Grin)

Fleamaker123 · 17/08/2020 12:53

Victorious
^Your love is slipping through my hands
And though I've heard it all before
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use^

Gloria Estefan, but I'm not sure what the title is... Stay away??

Fleamaker123 · 17/08/2020 12:55

Sorry didn't refresh!
Then you break a window
Burn the soufflé
Scream the lullaby

That's Carly Simon, coming around again

Fleamaker123 · 17/08/2020 12:56

It's not the way that you caress me, toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness, you fill with your desire
