You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day

My beats per minute never been the same

I know when to go out
And when to stay in
Get things done I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye

Modern love - David Bowie

Are you llistening to sounds of the 80s, as that's been on just now.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/10/2020 20:18

I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
1980s

You said that you love me
And that you always will
Oh, you begged me to keep you
In that house on the hill

Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you want to do

Evening!

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt naked
Banging on the bathroom floor

2000 easy-Peasy

Hopes dashed to the floor
Like shattered teenage dreams
Boys living next door
Are never what they seem, oooh

Is that Green Door Shakin' Stevens? (I know it's not, but god loves a trier).

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/10/2020 20:59

@NeedToKnow101 That's Bananarams Robert de Niro's waiting.

Yes to Shakey but not green door.

Correct to both @Fleamaker123.

From the cradle bars
Comes a beckoning voice
It sends you spinning
You have no choice

All I need is a pair of wheels

Fleamaker123 · 09/10/2020 21:19

I don't like to rubbish music, but I couldn't bear Shakin' Stevens. Could never work out why he was dressed like the 1950's in the 80's.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/10/2020 21:23

@NeedToKnow101 Sorry, no
