[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.

@FlouncerInDenial

Broke up from my work the other day I spent the evening thinking about All the blood that flowed away

Lie, lie,, lie is all you ever do
To make me want to push on through

Both i0s

Letter From America by The Proclaimers. Looking forward to the next thread, thanks @FlouncerInDenial!

If all you have to prove today is your innocence Calm down, you're as guilty as can be

90s

RRRRoad RRRRage by Catalonia. Love Cerys’s voice.

Shinynewapple do you want some more lyrics to my earlier one? First line is wish me well say goodbye i will never tell I saw you cry

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Is that Purple Rain - Prince?
Sorry if already said.

Bold fail ....

Morning! I got that carnage but you have it too 😘

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

1970s then big again in 90s

Ooh I feel a theme coming on! Got to pop out but here's my first one..

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me and love another
You'll regret it all someday

It was the Fugees in the 90's, not sure of the other artist

@ah, the Fugees. That’s it @Fleamaker123

Not sure why that’s an @Ah, it’s an Ah.....

Correct @CarnageAtTheGardenCentre - the wonderful Roberta Flack

Pipped to the post @Fleamaker123 - but also correct with Fugees ❤️

Can I have a point for knowing it was written about Don McLean? Since extra points seem to be available, it's worth a try, right?

Morning all

I have a spare 10 mins . . . And it is still raining 🌧☔🙄

I cannot believe no one got this, so here's the lyrics that will give it away:

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

Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken down machine
Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
But you and I stand innocent, baby it's a brand new world
Gimme the future,

@ThatLibraryMiss - I did t know that, so yes of course!
Is Don McClean me American Pie? A song not to be sung at karaoke!

Morning @CoffeeBeansGalore - I couldn't guess that one.. it's sooo rainy still. Thanks for the new thread, see you there ❤️

I couldn’t remember if it was modern world, or modern girl.
