[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Here we go again you lovely lot, Thread 13.

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.

I think the cut you like a knife one is Maniac by Michael Sambello.

Not sure I like the sharing points thing. We’ve quite enjoyed the pipping at the post until now (especially when it’s Flouncer getting pipped..).

Ok, we'll leave it at getting pipped as that seems to be the majority opinion. Fastest finger first!

Yes Honeyroar 😀

And correct for Fiction Factory ✅

Sorry Daffodil1967 😊

Nothings last forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
1980s

Coffee, That’s Same Old Scene by Roxy Music.

These ones (city themed) are, I think, still outstanding (apologies to anyone if I’ve missed a post). Will add more lyrics to any that haven’t been guessed by tomorrow lunchtime.

90s
I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but
It looks like Hell down there

80s
Awake
A dream in the distance
A scream
Advanced
Entranced taking only a

90s
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

80s
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true

80s
Twice shy and dog tired because you've been bitten
Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost-written

80s
rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry
for the bridge that doesn't go
in the direction of Dublin

80s
She owns the ground she walks on and she walks all over you

Oops! Managed to cut the end off this one:

80s
Awake
A dream in the distance
A scream
Advanced
Entranced taking only a

@FlouncingBabooshka Correct to Roxy Music 👍😊

All 80s

I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore

I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real
Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're running out of time…

Gonna meet all my friends, gonna have our self a ball
Gonna tell my friends, gonna tell them all

The 5th one is New Amsterdam by Elvis Costello

@CoffeeBeansGalore

All 80s

I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore

I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real
Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're running out of time…

Gonna meet all my friends, gonna have our self a ball
Gonna tell my friends, gonna tell them all

@TwigTheWonderKid Good morning. Yes, triple correct 👍😊

@FlouncingBabooshka Is there a time for kohl... is U2 - think it was called Miss Sarajevo and featured Pavarotti

I think the Awake, a scream one is Drowning in Berlin. Not sure who sang it? Mobiles?

Morning @Honeyroar how's the job going?

Morning coffee, good thanks. Just waiting to see what today’s announcement brings and whether we can stay open. Don’t want to lose another job to Covid this year!!

How are things with you?

@Bluesheep yes to New Amsterdam 🌟
@Honeyroar yes to Miss Sarajevo and Drowning in Berlin 🌟🌟. Yes, it was the mobiles. @CoffeeBeansGalore I think there should probably be a bonus point for the excellent additional information that Miss Sarajevo featured Pavarotti?

My latest themed offering:

This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
80s

I've had my fun and now it's time
To serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
80s

If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me, if you still want me
70s

And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
70s

Now I've stood on your shadow
And I've watched it grow
And it's shaken and it's driven me
And let me know
80s

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
80s
