[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. 😊

Um. How many points do I get for getting the theme????

@VictoriousSockPuppet. Hmm.. you did sort of get the theme. It’s not Hollywood though. It’s more actors, not restricted to Hollywood. That in itself is a big clue to one, or maybe two, of the outstanding ones. Maybe if you get one of them you can claim some bonus points...

I was going to include John Wayne is Big Leggy but remembered you - and I think another poster (can’t remember who) had thought about that one and had been horrified when checking the lyrics. But it did remind me that when we all had that name dropping conversation about famous people we’d met I’d omitted to mention I met Jeremiah from Hazy Fantazy a few times. Mind you, that was before he was (only almost and very, very briefly) famous as Jeremiah and was still Jeremy Healy. Although before he later became more famous as Jeremy Healy. So he wasn’t actually famous at all. 🤔🤔. He was, however, extremely nice - much nicer than the lyrics of his only hit would suggest!

Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time

70's

I see your sun is shining
But I won't make a fuss
Though it's obvious

'68

Other people have got it, but...'68? Has it been that long since I was at school discos?

TBF it lasted well. It was still being played in '75.

80s classic, or guilty pleasure?

So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Against All Odds Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin

Another 80s, different genre.

I'll be there every morning, baby
To hold you tight
And that's why, baby
You don't have to wonder why
Why I love you, I need you
Got to have, have you
I need you, oh, right now

@AJumpedUpPantryBOy - correct, although didn't know about Marilyn Martin..?

Actually ignore the Marilyn bit - I think I was confusing with Separate Lives which was a duet

The room is hot and that's good
Some of my friends came by from the neighborhood
The people startin' a climb the walls
Ooh it looks like everybody is having a ball
1980s

And Forget that I'm 50... David Bowie - Cracked Actor

And congrats on the new job Honeyroar - that's great news.

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
1980s
