[CoffeeBeansGalore]

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.

Thanks guys 😘

Correct to Thomson Twins. Anyone want to try the song? It was a popular one.
Correct to Absolute Beginners, David Bowie.

@CoffeeBeansGalore is it You Take Me Up?

Up every evening 'bout
Half eight or nine
I give my complete attention
To a very good friend of mine

And so the story goes they wore the clothes
They said the things to make it seem improbable
Whale of a lie like they hope it was

Sittin' by the fire...
Radio just played a little classical music for you kids,
The march of the wooden soldiers
And you can hear Jack say

Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days
Wear a tall hat and a tatooed gown

Well done @TwigTheWonderKid - I had a horrible feeling you’d left the thread and we’re going to miss them all...

Were going to not we’re going to! - bloody autocorrect has started to do that every time I type were!

@TwigTheWonderKid - your last one is T Rex, Ride a White Swan.

Yes to You Take Me Up! Well done 👍😊

Should have been sorting out the kids; DS2 was begging for snacks but I told him I had something vitally important to do!

@FlouncingBabooshka, well done.

@TwigTheWonderKid

Oh I just missed so many good ones.. not fair!

I don't make the rules, needtoknow 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Actually, I do 🤣🤣🤣

@CoffeeBeansGalore - have you seen this insolence?

@NeedToKnow101 yes I've seen. My own spreadsheet is filling up nicely . . . . 😄

There's another spreadsheet?????

@FlouncingBabooshka

And I'm phoning a cab 'Cause my stomach feels small There's a taste in my mouth And it's no taste at all

70s

Is this one love will tear us apart again?

I've only just finished work, so I'll put more lyrics up tomorrow (day off)

Please tell me
You’ll be there in my hour if need
You won’t turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
(80s)

Late 70s

There is a party
Everyone is there
Everyone will leave
At exactly the same

Another 70s we've had before

(He's more of a man than you'll ever be)

@NeedToKnow101, that’s Jilted John
