[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again for Thread 10!!!

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.

I thought it was Salisbury Hill too 😮 but I'm not sure why!

I played around with love before
I was silly and you know that I played the fool
But then you came and took my life and you changed it
Cause I know what I want and where it's at Yeah

@Iggi999

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

Pulp?

I take that back, but it's in my head somewhere

I played around with love before
I was silly and you know that I played the fool
But then you came and took my life and you changed it
Cause I know what I want and where it's at Yeah...

I found loving, Fatback band

Do a little dance then you drink a little water is the red hot chilli peppers. Give it away now.

@Turtletotem Yes 👍

These 2 still outstanding. Will add a bit more.

So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his faced lost all expression
He said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right

And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep
1970s

When you don't need an answer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When you don't meet a chancer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit it
Then I must remember xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
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

@midgebabe Hope your weather has improved 😊

Yes Midgebabe!
Other one is a solo American singer, 1996 I think.

@CoffeeBeansGalore I think your 90s one is Van Morrison - Days Like This.

That's the gambler...kenny Rogers?

Dry today . Got very hot in full waterproofs due to very inaccurate weather forecast

@midgebabe Yes, well done.
Oh dear! It's been a tad chilly in Scotland. Autumn is definitely making a rapid appearance.

I'm in Scotland ... its blissfully cool

@midgebabe Enjoy! You are not getting the best of weather this week, but I think it's been better than down south. If you are going anywhere near water don't forget midgey repellant. The little b@#$%s are everywhere at the moment!

Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain

Bangles, eternal flame

@Fleamaker123 correct 😊👍

Here's a couple of mine still outstanding from earlier in the week...

So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be

1990

And I,
I'm ready to sail any ocean

1980 duet

Coffee, I think you'll know the second one...

Just saying hello, having a hectic week and never know any when I pop in (except the ones that were just guessed, of course!)xx

@Fleamaker123, sorry not ringing any bells at the moment.

The 1990s one sounds like something Phil Collins might have done?

Hello @Honeyroar 👋. Are you enjoying your new job?

Hello. Yes it’s going really well. It’s so friendly. Just trying to finalise everything with BA. It’s nearly more complicated getting out than it was getting the job, and they’re being as un caring as they can right to the end. I’ll be glad to shut the door, even if it’s been an amazing job. How’s things with you?

Glad it's nice. Shame about BA.

Busy at school as beginning of term. New ones settling in etc. Days just flying by & the head is having to work elsewhere as only one person allowed to work in the small office - social distancing has it's benefits 🤣

😀👍. It feels like autumn is kicking in already.
