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.

Nobody got this one of mine from yesterday, I've added a bit more...

The secrets of the summer I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No-one but you and I
Underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know

Ooh that's on the beach

Yes Shiny (and Coffee) 💪

Hmmm (ignoring the fact I got Chris Rea wrong).

Ok. Round two.

Remember, these are SUPER EASY, so it's a hollow victory. Your only risk is showing yourself up (as demonstrated earlier today coughs say no more!)

Not all 80s (there's a couple creeping in from the 70s), but all pretty huge hits.

As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's you I need
To take the blues away

FlouncerInDenial · 17/09/2020 19:54

Though it hurts to go away
It's impossible to stay
But there's one thing I must say before I go
I love you, you know

MarthasGinYard · 17/09/2020 19:54

It must be love

Love

Luv Grin

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today

Save all your kisses for me

Fleamaker123 · 17/09/2020 19:55

You know I really love you
And I paid for my mistakes
Yes, I did, girl
The more I try to
Hide my feelings, baby
This old heart gets in the way

I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

I see it in her face that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade

@FlouncerInDenial Blue Monday by New Order

MarthasGinYard · 17/09/2020 19:55

Blue Monday

FlouncerInDenial · 17/09/2020 19:56

Now the light fades out
And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you

FlouncerInDenial · 17/09/2020 19:56

I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine

MarthasGinYard · 17/09/2020 19:56

Through the barricades

Love that tune

1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missing y'all
Swinging while I'm singing
Giving whatcha getting
Knowing what I know

Are friends electric ??.

FlouncerInDenial · 17/09/2020 19:57

Oh baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)

FlouncerInDenial · 17/09/2020 19:57

Baby, I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'

FlouncerInDenial · 17/09/2020 19:57

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
