[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]**@shinynewapple2020* Correct, well done. 👍😊 from me even though @FlouncerInDenial* awarded you first . . . 🤣[/quote]
Eeeek.

I wasn't awarding her, Coffee, I was sulking because I didn't know the middle one but knew the other two and was just about to triumphantly post them when I saw shiny's post.

All 80s

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition

How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
That's covering your mind?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/11/2020 18:34

@FlouncerInDenial correct to Bon Jovi 👍😊

OP posts:
shinynewapple2020 · 05/11/2020 18:42

Umm I think the Bon Jovi song is You give live a bad name

shinynewapple2020 · 05/11/2020 18:42

You give LOVE a bad name

FlouncerInDenial · 05/11/2020 18:52

Gah!
docks shiny several bonus points for being a smart arse!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/11/2020 19:06

mutters crossly

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/11/2020 19:10

@FlouncerInDenial I think you'll know this one. Have added a bit more.

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
But you never know until you try
How things just might be
If we came together so strongly

Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Yes and. . . . .

Shake the disease by Depeche Mode (love that song).

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/11/2020 19:21

Which one are you guessing honey?

OP posts:
NeedToKnow101 · 05/11/2020 19:35

@shinynewapple2020

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 '
Love that song.. I kind of knew it was wrong, just wanted to guess something.
Honeyroar · 05/11/2020 19:38

I was guessing the Depeche Mode one of course! 🤣

(Some people have to be permanently together)

FlouncerInDenial · 05/11/2020 19:44

Walls come tumbling down, coffee. Style council.

FlouncerInDenial · 05/11/2020 19:46

Honey was guessing the extra lyrics I gave needtoknow.

Nothing else guessed from the load I put up earlier?
All on a theme
Do you guys want more lyrics?

NeedToKnow101 · 05/11/2020 19:54

Shalalalala
Little piece of you
A little peace in me will die
(This is not a miracle)
80s

NeedToKnow101 · 05/11/2020 19:56

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel

FlouncerInDenial · 05/11/2020 20:06

I'm feeling good

FlouncerInDenial · 05/11/2020 20:06

The second one.

Is the first one David bowie?

NeedToKnow101 · 05/11/2020 20:15

Yes to both @FlouncerInDenial .. full answers please 😘

Honeyroar · 05/11/2020 20:19

The “how many sorrows” one (@CoffeeBeansGalore?) was Annie Lennox’s Miracle of Love.

Honeyroar · 05/11/2020 20:19

What’s outstanding? I’ve lost track.
