So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
(80s?)

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:15

Yes it’s cutting crew. And correct with Erasure. Not quite right with Sisters of Mercy’s song.

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:19

You make me feel so Devine
Your soul and mine are entwined
Before you I was blind
(90s)

Feck. It's REALLY hard to sing in my head cos the TV's on

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:21

With no loving in our souls
And no money in our coats
You can’t say we’re satisfied
(70s, perhaps 60s!)

Fleamaker123 · 07/11/2020 21:24

Remember we met and the room was crowded
And I can't forget the way that it started

80's

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:27

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
(80s)

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:30

Oh Flea I actually know that! Pepsi and Shirley. Heartache!

Bruce Springsteen I'm on fire. Love that song.

They put a parking lot on a piece of land
When the supermarket used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local pally
80s

NeedToKnow101 · 07/11/2020 21:39

Now
The mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the color of the lights that shine
80s

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:42

Correct Need to know. Yours is called Come Dancing. My head wants to say it’s the Kinks, but doesn’t seem right?

Is that the Rolling Stones Angie?
FlouncerInDenial · 07/11/2020 21:48

Grrrr

FlouncingBabooshka · 07/11/2020 21:48

I’ve missed nine pages?? Nine?

Totally bamboozled by the sheer number of lyrics and no idea what’s been got and what hasn’t but I know I spotted Wuthering Heights - too hot, too greedy - amongst them.

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:50

Yes it’s Angie @shinynewapple2020

Oy Flouncer Id already half guessed that already! Shame we’re both stuck on the group!

FlouncerInDenial · 07/11/2020 21:50

(My grrr was to honey)
That bloody woman's been pipping me since thread 1

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:51

Hello. I don’t think that was guessed @FlouncingBabooshka.

Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:52

I know I have, yet somehow I won the most pipped at the post award!!

FlouncingBabooshka · 07/11/2020 21:52

Here’s a nice easy one that seems appropriate tonight, especially with what I’m seeing on the television right now.

60s, then covered in the 90:

Philadelphia, PA (xxxxxxxx)
Baltimore and D.C. now (xxxxxxxxx)
Can't forget the Motor City (xxxxxxxx)

I was so pleased no one else got it, FlouncingB. I was sure someone else would, but it was just there waiting for you x x
Honeyroar · 07/11/2020 21:53

Anyway that wasn’t a pip, I was minutes ahead!🌟

We’re going to run out of pages soon!

I have to admit I had a sneaking suspicion but I know Kate Bush must be guessed but one of the flouncers!
