@FlouncerInDenial

more on the same theme....

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

60s

Let the bible belt come and save my soul
Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can
Change is coming 'round real soon
Make us women and men

80s

And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

80s

And they're going to the discotheque Au Go Go
But she just couldn't stay she had to break away
Well New York City really has is all oh yeah, oh yeah

70s (this is really one for me, sorry to the rest of you Grin)

I know my mind is made up
So put away your make-up

70s

Why did you choose to deceive me?
Was your plan just to kiss, fuck and leave me?
So, considerately, just please talk to me
I won't portray myself so pitifully
My little conceit, you see
Is that I will never need you more than now

90s (I don't think this is hugely well known, so hence the quantity of lyrics, but it's from one of my favourite albums ever)

Personality changes behind her red smile
Every new problem brings a stranger inside
Helplessly forcing one more new disguise
80s

Tie him up when he's fast asleep
Send him on a pleasant cruise
When he wakes up on the sea
Sure to think of me and you

70s

Third one down is Billie Jean - Michael Jackson.
FlouncerInDenial · 17/10/2020 16:44

yes, yes and yes.

Sorry about your torture, midge (this is a lie. I'm thrilled to be tormenting you!!!) mwah

Iggi999 · 17/10/2020 17:42

I know the "hold on to 16" one but think it's best to leave @midgebabe to sweat it out!

midgebabe · 17/10/2020 18:03

NOOOOO! It's no closer.

NeedToKnow101 · 17/10/2020 18:03

And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

@xsquared - that's Billie Jean MJ

NeedToKnow101 · 17/10/2020 18:04

@xsquared - and that's Roxanne, the Police

NeedToKnow101 · 17/10/2020 18:05

NeedToKnow101 · 17/10/2020 18:09

An easy 70s one some theme... probably been done already in this bit..

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain

midgebabe · 17/10/2020 18:09

NeedToKnow101 · 17/10/2020 18:15

Same theme

midgebabe · 17/10/2020 18:16

NeedToKnow101 · 17/10/2020 18:27

Hope he googled after you guessed, not before!! You're in the shit otherwise.

NeedToKnow101 · 17/10/2020 18:27

That was to @midgebabe

NeedToKnow101 · 17/10/2020 18:28

@ThatLibraryMiss - correct! 🙌🏼

midgebabe · 17/10/2020 18:32

He googled to find out the name, after I had posted. I still don't think it's cricket.

@Iggi999

I know the "hold on to 16" one but think it's best to leave *@midgebabe* to sweat it out!
I luffs you, Iggi 💕💕💕💕

And in awe at your restraint. I will award you some points on my spreadsheet for your ability to (a) hold back and (b) torment a fellow player

FlouncerInDenial · 17/10/2020 18:35

Needtoknow, did you just credit someone else for posting lyrics posted by me?

FlouncerInDenial · 17/10/2020 18:35

@midgebabe

Tell him he's barred
