@Honeyroar

(Got goo many wrong today to be overly confident!)

@Honeyroar - you were almost correct with FB3 Lunatics... but it was this lyrics..
See a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrist
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on the list

I've confused myself!! Grin
Btw Election Night Special anyone???

Only to find any dream that I follow is dying,
I'm cryin' in the rain.

All 80s

Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through

I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrap yourself around me
'Cos I ain't the way you found me
And I'll never be the same

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call

Here's one...

I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

@NeedToKnow101 Happy to go for an election special 😊. Might have to be a loose theme though 😁

Heartbreaker, Dionne Warwick (sp?) Are the election songs ones about elections, or ones about how happy or sad we are with the result?!

Last one is the cars, drive

Iggi999 · 03/11/2020 18:58

Fleamaker's one is Creep, Radiohead
Right I need to post some!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/11/2020 18:59

Is it election night tonight ?

I figured it made sense
Building me a fence

Iggi999 · 03/11/2020 19:00

70s
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same

Fleamaker123 · 03/11/2020 19:01

Yes Iggi999 for Creep ✅

Changing partners is just substitution
It's no solution

Fleamaker123 · 03/11/2020 19:02

And Dionne Warwick 😊

Iggi999 · 03/11/2020 19:03

I came to knock you up, I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart

Coffee, is that Moonlight Shadow, Mike Oldfield
(I had to endure listen to his music when I was a kid, my brother was obsessed. It was so depressing!)

Fab! Although I haven't thought of anything yet.. Grin.. oh I've got an ironic one...

Brothers, sisters
One day we will be free
From fighting, violence
People crying in the street

80s house..

80s
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
