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've been taking on a new direction But I have to say I've been thinking about my own protection 1984
That sounds like the human league to me

Fascination?

Evening all.

Had a crazy week, but on holiday now.

What have I missed????

FlouncerInDenial · 23/10/2020 20:42

Jealous, Iggi

Fleamaker123 · 23/10/2020 20:43

Anyway the four winds that blow
They're gonna send me sailing home to you

Oh, sorry, honey had already got it Blush

FlouncerInDenial · 23/10/2020 20:46

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Still outstanding

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around

Benny and the jets??? Elton john

Sorry! Enjoy your holidays. Our coffee shop is doing a lot for Halloween 🎃👹 so we’ll probably get all your pesky kids while you’re off! 🤣

I can’t believe anyone got my Cure song a few pages back.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/10/2020 20:50

@FlouncerInDenial Correct, Bennie & the Jets 👍😊

Pesky kids - sounds like the ending of a Scooby Doo adventure 😄

Did I miss the cure???? That's not like me

It seems you guys have had a quiet ish week. But if you can bring yourselves to repost anything outstanding, I'll have a go. And I promise to put some lyrics up tomorrow.
I think some of my name ones are still outstanding.

Flea (I think) well done for getting don't mess with my toot toot. I thought that song was long-forgotten (and probably for the best)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/10/2020 21:10

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain

It was indeed from Scooby Doo. I have been doing some very impressive (accidental) impressions of him over the last few days as my boots skid on the stone terrace at work!

If I said the Cure song I posted came under the names theme I bet you can probably guess it without me putting the lyric...

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/10/2020 21:27

I had a St Bernard who did wonderful Scooby Doo ish impressions on polished floors, & back peddling when she saw water/big puddles (hated getting wet). She was a gorgeous dog & such a personality.

Ha! 😍 sounds adorable.

I'm off work for a week now too... so nice..

NeedToKnow101 · 23/10/2020 21:39

I don't have any pets but I can do a very good Scooby-doo impression. Actually this is my neighbour's lovely cat, Antonio, and a can of Red Stripe.

@NeedToKnow101 Enjoy your week off! Hope you get better weather than we've had the last 2 weeks. I'm back Monday. May just have to make a chocolate cake to ease us into term 😁

Another elton john one, coffee? Is it called sad songs.

He hasn't died has he? You've put a few up from him

FlouncerInDenial · 23/10/2020 21:48

Do you work in schools too, needtoknow? Or just having a week off? And you neighbour's cat looks like he has a drink problem!

Coffee, your dog is bllomin' gaw-jus!!!

Honey - gutted if I missed Charlotte sometimes. I love that song.

Honeyroar · 23/10/2020 21:51

LOVE your gorgeous St Bernard💕.
@NeedToKnow101 it was Charlotte Sometimes!🌟

When I flew, Elton was on the list of “difficult” celebs. Never met him, thankfully. His husband was even more of a diva, apparently.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/10/2020 21:51

@FlouncerInDenial yes to Sad Songs. Still alive & kicking as far as I'm aware. I googled a couple of 80s years songs & he was on the list a lot!

Honeyroar · 23/10/2020 21:52

The cat does look like an alcoholic!🤣

NeedToKnow101 · 23/10/2020 21:54

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads
