[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. 😊

Goodnight all 🌜

Off to bed too. Sleep well, everyone

@Honeyroar

Hé j’ai vu ton mec Avec une autre fille

Blondie - Sunday Girl

Oh bother someone else already got it - I was sure I'd checked through

70s
I don't wanna hurt you, baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high

80s
Well, I used to remember
Now it's all gone
World War something
We were somebody's sons

80s
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in

80s
Must have took me for a fool
'Cause they chucked me out of school
'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk

Hmm...I think everyone else has gone to bed...

Congratulations on the new job Honeyroar and good luck 😊

Here are loads - there’s a thematic connection...

70s
You feel like Steve McQueen
When you're driving in your car
And you think you look like James Bond
When you're smoking your cigar

70s
Emily...

70s
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain

70s
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers

70s
Forget that I'm fifty
'Cause you just got paid

80s
We skirt around the danger zone
And don't talk about it later

80s
She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite

80s
It really moved me, it really moved me

80s
Boys living next door
Are never what they seem

90s
An elegant sir in a terylene shirt tonight

I don't wanna hurt you, baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high

Honey honey
ABBA

They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain

Candle in the wind
Elton John

Good luck Honeyroar

Dammit I missed Metallica!!!

"An elegant sir in a terylene shirt tonight"

Suede - Filmstar.

Can't bloody sleep, too hot, :(

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

^80s
She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite^

Bette Davis Eyes- Kim Carnes

[quote Honeyroar]@VictoriousSockPuppet you’ve got to guess my devilishly difficult “the” yet. I’ll give you a clue. It’s a The. Followed by lanes..[/quote]
Penny lanes???? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Hope your job goes well.

Don't think we don't all know you're only doing it to suck up to coffee! Cheap ploy. Won't serve you well come awards night

@shinynewapple2020

Oh bother someone else already got it - I was sure I'd checked through

Not carefully enough, clearly

Babooshka- must've took me for a fool (the last one in your first set) is hyperactive, Thomas Dolby.

Funnily enough, I'm sure I put some of those lyrics up a little while ago, but no one got them.

And the penultimate one in your first set it Terence trent d'arby. Sign your name

If one is film star and another bette Davis, is your theme linked to awards/hollywood?

(And candle in the wind is marylin monroe)

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal

And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel

80s

This one got missed in all the beep-beep confusion last night.

There shouldn't be the extra space. It's the next line, not a new verse

I’ll expand on my “the lanes”

The lanes were silent
There was nothin, no one, nothing around for miles
(80s)

That was a busy night... I missed it all as usual!

Good luck with the new job Honeyroar

^I'll take you up to the heighest heights, let's spread our wings and fly away.
Surround you with love that's pure delight, release your spirits, set you free.
Come and feel my energy, let's be as one in soul and mind.
I'll fill your world with ecstasy, touch all your dreams deep down in side.^

SimplySteveRedux that's Let me be your fantasy, was it Ntrance or something like that??

Yes, artist was Baby D :)

We skirt around the danger zone
And don't talk about it later

@SingingBabooshkaBadly, continuing the theme of film stars this is Marlene on the wall by Suzanne Vega.

Well done to @Willow2017, @Imissmoominmamma and @simplysteveredux 👏👏👏- I’ve marked up the ones that have been claimed plus added a clue to one other:

70s
You feel like Steve McQueen
When you're driving in your car
And you think you look like James Bond
When you're smoking your cigar

70s
Emily... This a hard one, despite being a really well known song. It’s a song I’ve known since it was released but I never really heard/noticed this bit until about four years ago. It’s a bit of a sneaky one but someone might get it now the theme has become obvious 😉

70s

80s
Boys living next door

@ThatLibraryMiss 👍🏼, yes Marlene on the Wall. Sorry, we cross posted!

80s
Boys living next door

SingingBabooshka, that's Bananarama, Robert De niro's Waiting

@Fleamaker123, it is!🌟
