[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. 😊

@Honeyroar

Well done *@SimplySteveRedux* ✅

Another from the 80s.

The sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive

The Cult She Sells Sanctuary

Love that song!

@Honeyroar

You’ll definitely know it.

It has a clapping sample in the song, it's going round and round in my head, ffs I've played this song on piano...

Yes! The Cult indeed, nice one Pantry

Gonna go listen to it, it's an ace song!

@SingingBabooshkaBadly

Wait a minute, does this song have another name in the lyrics too?

No it doesn’t. Sorry.

Remember it’s 1970s and it was part of the actors theme.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly either more lyrics or a clue please. This is bugging me now 🤣

I knew I knew the Cult one. They’re always so obvious when someone else gets them.

OK Coffee.

I’ll round up what we know about it and then try to add lyrics (they are all soo recognisable though!)

So...

It’s from the 70s. New bit of info - late 70s
Part of the actors theme.
The Emily bit comes at the very beginning before the song gets going.
It took me over thirty years to notice it even though I know the song really well.
Others on the thread are fans.
They have obviously never heard ‘Emily’ either.

Ok..a little more from the song...

We’re all alone.

Thank you, @SingingBabooshkaBadly

Wow, you made this really difficult

And if it's the song I'm thinking of, the lyrics are hauntingly beautiful.

Steve, that's the cult isnt it? Here comes the rain

Ah! Soooo glad someone got Babooshka's emily one.
I didnt know it.

My tea's gone cold, I wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

90s

Dido or slim shady/eminem, steve

Babooshka.

Not we're all alone on the stage, is it?????

Sorry about earlier messages. Got into a muddle and didn't realize I'd missed so much.
Not to mention getting the cult song both late and wrong!

Also thought Babooshka was saying it WAS emmeline.

I think I'm back with you all now.

[quote SimplySteveRedux]@NeedToKnow101 I spent far too many hours raving and clubbing (Ibiza was amazing), and your song is Raze, Break For Love, I believe...[/quote]
Yes Steve it sure is Break 4 love! Happy days!

Try these. There's an embarrassingly easy theme...

The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you

70s

Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us

60s

The first crystal tears
Fall as snowflakes on your body

80s

Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in

70s

Sigmund Freud
Analyze this
Analyze this
Analyze this

90s

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Dido or slim shady/eminem, steve

Hah, I was assuming people would go for Eminem (which was 2000's) when I was referring to the Dido song (called 'Thank You'). You're clearly too smart

You're 80s one is Goldfinger but no idea who sang it...

70s one, even!!

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need.

90s, love this band.

It's the one that goes "I want to lay with you on a mountain, I want to swim with you in a stream"
Can't remember title or who sang it. Not my kind of thing.

@SimplySteveRedux

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy. I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need.

90s, love this band.

One of the few 90s ones I know - am very much an 80s girl!
