Omg did I get a Kate Bush one first!!🤣 (sorry but she’s really not my cup of tea)

Don't worry, honey, I didn't award you any points for it 😉👍

You never do!
Did you recognise the Faith no more one?

So true 🤣

And no 🙁
I know it, but didn't recognize it. Sorry.

Oh, I p’m getting so confused! I think it may be because I didn’t go to bed at all last night so am a bit 😜😜😜 right now.

@CrepuscularCritter, sorry, I missed FlouncerInD’s post so didn’t realise you were correcting her cut and paste error, rather than guessing.

@FlouncerInDenial, yes Hammer Horrir 🌟

@homeyroar I didn’t see the ‘into the trees’ quote and can’t find it now but The Hounds of Love is ‘It’s in the trees’ rather than into the trees. The only song I can think of with ‘into the trees’ is A Forest by The Cure but haven’t seen the full quote so not sure if that’s right.

I’m so exhausted - good night everyone 😘

@FlouncerInDenial, White Wedding. I could kick myself. That’s Ben echoing into my head for days but just couldn’t get it.

Right - definitely off to bed now...

Goodnight @FlouncingBabooshka. I did post Hounds of Love & @Honeyroar got it. If the verse is wrong then blame Google!

@CoffeeBeansGalore and @Honeyroar - no, Google’s not wrong, I am!

I was thinking of ‘it’s in the trees’ at the star of the song, but of course ‘through the trees‘ is very much a lyric from the song itself. I couldn’t find the post with the lyric on at all so only had the ‘through the trees’ bit.

I can only blame the fact that I didn’t go to bed at all on Tuesday night because of election frenzy and I was somewhat unhinged by the time I posted last night.

Apologies all. As you were...

Was it interesting to watch, FlouncingB?

I assumed it was just the polls closing so I didn't bother.

I’m amazed that you stayed up - must have been quite frustrating that there was no end result after all that.

I stayed up till 3am watching it too (had a power nap at 9pm). It was quite gripping and I got a new crush: the ITV politics guy .

Kind-of a theme, kind-of topical...

Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself

80s

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

70s

Realms of bliss, realms of light
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to the endless night

80s

I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

70s

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever

80s

Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try

70s

All 80s

You keep me running round and round,
Well that's alright with me,
Up and down, I'm up the wall,
I'm up the bloody tree.

You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know we've always been taught to rely
Upon those in authority

You know that faith
Is your foundation
With a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation

@CoffeeBeansGalore
First one living on the ceiling - Blancmange I think

Last one is that Love of the common people - Paul Young

Dammit, shiny, they're the two I knew!!!

@FlouncerInDenial

The one about 'sometimes I feel so insecure'

All by myself - Eric Carmen (and later covers)

Is this about lockdown ?

@FlouncerInDenial

Dammit, shiny, they're the two I knew!!!

Yes, shiny.

And getting the theme from recognizing one song earns you a LOT of bonus points

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever

@FlouncerInDenial is that How 'bout us, by ..err can't remember?..,

Oh maybe not?.. doesn't fit the theme..

No, needtoknow.
I can see why your mind has gone that way, but no.

Afraid it's a totally different song.

Hmmm. Is that too hard? More lyrics?

Times are hard.. a pity half-point is fine by me

Yes more lyrics please .. 😘

@shinynewapple2020 Correct, well done. 👍😊 from me even though @FlouncerInDenial awarded you first . . . 🤣

I thought that first @NeedToKnow101 but that one goes 'some people are made for each other , some people can love one another for life , how about us '

@NeedToKnow101

Times are hard.. a pity half-point is fine by me

Yes more lyrics please .. 😘

Because you blew me a kiss:

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever
Now I've got things to do
And I've said before that I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there

80s
