@CoffeeBeansGalore

When everyone is up front and they're not playing tricks When you don't have no freeloaders out to get their kicks When it's nobody's business the way that you want to live 1990s

@CoffeeBeansGalore - I could fit Coldplay, Lift me (?) into those words..

Hope you're ok @SingingBabooshkaBadly 😘

Hope all is ok @SingingBabooshkaBadly

@NeedToKnow101 sorry, not Coldplay. Solo male.

If I had money I'd go wild
Buy you furs
Dress you like a queen
And in a chauffeured limousine
We'd look so fine

I think that's The Stylistixs - I can't give you anything but my love

Yes shiny 👍

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
And the good girls are home with broken hearts

1980s

He gave the reason, the reasons he should go
Ans he said things he hasn't said before

1980s

I was bruised and battered
I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
And didn't know my own face
1990s

Can't guess any of these!

Here's mine - 70s

"Son", he said, "grab your things, I've come to take you home"

He gave the reason, the reasons he should go
Ans he said things he hasn't said before

Shiny, that's Lisa Stansfield, been around the world

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mister Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

Originally 80s but a couple of hit covers in the 90s

@CoffeeBeansGalore yes correct! 🙌🏼 I always thought it was Salisbury too until I looked up the lyrics; it's Solsbury. Every day's a school day

Sounds like Boyzone, When you say nothing at all?

Two 90s ones that came up on Spotify tonight:

You do a little dance and then you drink a little water

And

Somethin's wrong cause my mind is fading,
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting,
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leprous faces

@Iggi999 correct 👍😊

@NeedToKnow101 Never stop learning 😄
