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.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Players only love you when they're playin' Say women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know You'll know 1970s
Coffee, that's Fleetwood Mac, but I can't get the song title, is is Thunder only happens when it's raining?

@Honeyroar

All the love inside me has been sleeping Waiting for the right one to come along You can share the love that I’ve been keeping baby (80s)

Am I on the right tracks here - it's reggae , maybe soul. Possibly a duet ?

shinynewapple2020 · 03/10/2020 21:21

Is the Fleetwood Mac song called Dreams ?

@Fleamaker123 That's what I thought until I checked. It's actually Dreams, but that line is repeated through the song.

That's hard train's gonna fall. I know it by Roxy music, but 60s makes it Bob Dylan for a bonus point

The cover version was Bryan Ferry solo, not Roxy Music.

I think a bonus point is in order...

Fleamaker123 · 03/10/2020 21:24

Ah I wouldn't have remembered that!

Another one for you...

C'mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C'mon you little fighter
And get back up again

80's

There's a break in the chain, a skip in the clock Girl that's where I'm gonna find you Between the boy I was before and what I'm gonna be There's a clash on the border, a flame in the sky Girl that's where you're gonna find me 1980s

Coffee is this the Meatloaf one , is it dead ringer ?

NeedToKnow101 · 03/10/2020 21:32

It's like thunder and lightning,
The way you love me is frightening.

version I know is 70s,

FlouncingBabooshka · 03/10/2020 21:33

Knock on Wood, Amy Stewart.

Can’t remember who did the original though.

FlouncingBabooshka · 03/10/2020 21:35

I’m so behind - getting confused trying to catch up. @FlouncerInDenial, did anyone get Sorted for Es and Whizz?

NeedToKnow101 · 03/10/2020 21:35

Knock on Wood, Amy Stewart.
Correct @FlouncingBabooshka that's the version I know. Although it's Amii, not Amy, I'll have you know.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/10/2020 21:44

@shinynewapple2020 that's the lyrics but not Deadringer, sorry

I'll have a word with the point scorer, FlouncingB, but I'm not hopeful.

Someone said pulp, but didn't mention the song. Half a point
