Here we go you lovely lot, Thread 11.

Post some lyrics of a song 70s, 80s, 90s (boundaries may be slightly pushed either way). State the decade & we will try to guess Artist(s) and song.

Sorry Babooshka, well off my radar.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

More of my outstanding one. My name is a clue.

Night swimming, beach walking
Always silent, never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you
Sail away, I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating

Each moment is new
Freeze the moment
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment

Is that Black Coffee by All Saints? @CoffeeBeansGalore

No worries Coffee.

Notice - I didn’t flounce. I believe I am growing as a person...

By the way, I’ve just noticed the American spelling of neighbour in the lyrics above. Don’t want to mislead anyone - this is just down to cutting and pasting the lyrics - most definitely a British band.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

FlouncerInDenial Ps. Flouncesgalore is better than coffeeFlounce, so I double hate you.

No you don't 😘

I don't, you're right. But the comment was directed at honeyFlounce, not you lovely FlounceGalore. But I don't hate honeyflounce either
FlouncerInDenial · 08/09/2020 22:09

Flouncing, I'm not trying to wind you up (I would never, never,never do such a thing), but you did miss a KB lyric y'know

FlouncerInDenial · 08/09/2020 22:11

I hate to say this, but none of those outstanding ones are currently speaking to me Blush

CoffeeBeansGalore · 08/09/2020 22:15

@xsquared Yes, well done 😊👍

Flouncer

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

Bridge over troubled water, Simon and Garfunkel

I'd have got three more of yours but I was out picking blackberries.

Oi! @ThatLibraryMiss - I got that ages ago! No-one noticed.. 😢 feelin' a flounce Colin' on ..
FlouncerInDenial · 08/09/2020 22:39

I did notice and comment,needtoflounce, but you copied the wrong lyrics in, and thus annulled all your points

Honeyroar · 08/09/2020 22:49

It was Rockwell. I think Micheal Jackson sung the chorus and Rockwell just did the funny voice rap/talky bits.

I don’t know any of the outstanding ones.🤔

Fleamaker123 · 08/09/2020 23:04

And do you feel scared, I do
But I won't stop and falter

80's

Fleamaker123 · 08/09/2020 23:14

I only wanted something else to do but hang around

80's

Honeyroar · 08/09/2020 23:28

@flea that’s Suburbia by Pet Shop Boys (one of my faves of theirs).

Honeyroar · 08/09/2020 23:30

And the one above it is Howard Jones Things can only get better (my spell check changed that to thongs can only get better!🤣)

FlouncingBabooshka · 09/09/2020 07:23

Ooh, yes, Suburbia is one of my joint favourite Pet Shop Boys tracks as well (along with Being Boring).

I don’t think anyone’s going to get those 90s ones now. With all those lyrics you’d at least know you knew them even if they wouldn’t quite come to you (bit like that other Kate Bush one - about the cloud - ggrrr!) so probably not much point adding more lyrics. I’ll just leave them for a while in case some of the regulars who’ve not been around the last couple of days turn up.

I think everyone should post lyrics to the number 1 when they were born.

Fleamaker123 · 09/09/2020 09:27

I don't know if Google will go that far back for me 😅
