He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the best times

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/11/2020 20:06

I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
1980s

Echo beach again. Martha and the muffins 💕

Honeyroar · 18/11/2020 20:10

I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city’s ripped back sky
(80s. I always thought it said ripped backside!🤣)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/11/2020 20:13

Correct @Honeyroar with Echo Beach 👍😊

Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember dawn escapes from moonwashed college halls
Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square
Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair
80s

Is that the song that goes I get knocked down but I get up again ? Chumbawumba?

Fleamaker123 · 18/11/2020 20:31

Oh and checking everything is in place
You never know who's lookin' on

Honeyroar · 18/11/2020 20:34

Yes Shiny it’s Chumbawumba. ✅

Fleamaker123 · 18/11/2020 20:34

A bit more from one of mine from yesterday..

I wanna be your magical mystery
I wanna be your final history
This is the news..

And oh don't you know
Ooh, this is the game that we came here for

Honeyroar, I was going to say this was Barry Manilow, I write the songs but luckily Shiny pipped me! They are similar though 🤣

Thank you all so much for lovely comments.

So sorry.

Can't believe I missed the sex pistols!
Honey is that the passenger? Iggy pop if so
But I thought it was 70s??

Honeyroar · 18/11/2020 20:45

Will you stand above me?
Look my way
Never love me
(80s)

Honeyroar · 18/11/2020 20:46

Yes @FlouncerInDenialit is Iggi. Could’ve been the 70s.
