I'm sure that thread 4, page 7 had a Shakey song. Could have been the end of us right then. But we weathered the storm didn't we?! We're strong Grin

NeedToKnow101 · 09/10/2020 21:38

Yes @ssd - name of song?

ssd · 09/10/2020 21:45

I can hear it, it's one word sang twice, but I can't remember it Blush

@CoffeeBeansGalore

If I were to say to you, "can you keep a secret?" Would you know just what to do or where to keep it? Then I say, "I love you", foul the situation Hey girl, I thought we were the right combination 1980s

Oh I knew this! Thought someone had already got it.

shinynewapple2020 · 09/10/2020 22:01

Yes just seen, I skimmed through and couldn't see it had been got . Never mind Smile

shinynewapple2020 · 09/10/2020 22:08

This one still outstanding from a couple of days ago . I thought it was easy but I'll add another line

Now I can't say my name and tell you where I am
I want to roll myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in another time and place
With someone else's soul , someone else's face

1990s (sorry I said it was 80s before )

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/10/2020 22:10

I won't prolong the agony with Shakey. It was Cry just a little bit.

I promise I won't post him again 😄

Lucky it was you @CoffeeBeansGalore - no-one else would have got away with it.

FlouncerInDenial · 09/10/2020 22:23

I'm a bit lost into what's got and what isn't, (and have to admit I'm quite drunk) but I've DEF posted shakey on here on an earlier thread

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/10/2020 22:29

This one is still outstanding

I Can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to, oh I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail, on dry land

Oh @CoffeeBeansGalore

I so know this song, just don’t know what it’s called or who sang it. I had it it on a compilation cassette yonks ago.
Please someone get it and put me out of my misery.

Daffodil1967 · 09/10/2020 23:07

Ah, You to me are everything. ?

NeedToKnow101 · 09/10/2020 23:17

Is it Tavares, or the Real Thing?
