90s

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

@NeedToKnow101 Madonna- Ray of light ?

Beach Baby by the Bay City Rollers. My goodness, there certainly was some dross around then (and now tbf).

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre - it is! 🙌🏼 And it's been stuck in my head all day!

NeedToKnow101 · 21/09/2020 18:43

Actually I just remembered I have a Madonna double-whammy claim to fame by proxy ...

Fleamaker123 · 21/09/2020 18:54

@ThatLibraryMiss
Correct, I thought you'd get that one! Although Mr Google reckons it's by First Class??
Yes I agree we were subjected to lots of drivel in the 70's 🤣 it's a wonder we aren't permanently scarred.

ThatLibraryMiss · 21/09/2020 19:01

Oops, sorry, Flea, First Class it was. Similar sort of sound to the BCR.

Fleamaker123 · 21/09/2020 19:08

Would that be the sound of drivel 🤣😂

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/09/2020 19:33

They say, "Martin, maybe one day you'll find true love"
And I say, "Maybe there must be a solution to
The one thing, the one thing we can't find"

Her dream is to give her heart away
Like an orphan along the way
She cared so much, she offered up
Her body to the grave

Give me time to realize my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real
