But what's the song...someone help me out please , I am just singing the same lines over and over.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/11/2020 19:01

Sorry midge, it's just called Days

Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me

I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me

Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me

I wish today could be tomorrow
The night is long
It just brings sorrow let it wait

Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me

Days I'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me

Days, Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me

I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me

I hope midge is noting the theme

FlouncerInDenial · 19/11/2020 19:05

Gah
It went over the page again

midgebabe · 19/11/2020 19:11

So that's why I couldn't get the next lines!

Bluesheep8 · 20/11/2020 11:14

Ok, here's one with a link.....Wink

  1. 80's
Perhaps if I held you I could win again I could take your hands, we'd talk and maybe then that look in your eyes I always recognize, would tell me everything is gonna be fine
  1. 80's
The turning point of a career in Korea being insincere The holiday was fun packed, the contract still intact.
  1. 80's
I'm gonna lock up what I'm feeling inside Ain't no way you can break down the door Cause this time I've learned my lesson You can take this declaration of war.

The link is Vince Clarke, I think

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre

The link is Vince Clarke, I think
To @Bluesheep8, that was meant for. Sorry, I forgot my manners 😮

*@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre

YEEEEEEES!!! Well done! That was so quick Grin

midgebabe · 20/11/2020 18:45

Ok, I am trying again with another theme...please don't run away just yet!

Since the last one was considered too hard, I have tried to make it easier
It’s so much easier now that honey already has half a point for sort of guessing it before I have posted it

And the destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness, still another mile
70s

To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away someone was weeping
90s

This one is a twist ...it’s not the title that leads to the theme
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
.......

Up ahead in the distance
I saw a simmering light
70s

I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something
80s

Oh thunder only happens when it’s raining
Players only love you when they’re playing
70s

FlouncerInDenial · 20/11/2020 19:02

Oh gawd, another bloody midge theme....

FlouncerInDenial · 20/11/2020 19:04

Hotel California, eagles

Eurythmics, sweet dreams are made of these

And

Fleetwood mac are the last 3

FlouncerInDenial · 20/11/2020 19:05

Far far away. That's not any drama will do, is it??

Joseph and the technicolor raincoat if so

FlouncerInDenial · 20/11/2020 19:05

Dream, not drama

FlouncerInDenial · 20/11/2020 19:06

I refuse to lose yet more sleep trying to work out whatever theme has crossed midge's dark, twisted mind

FlouncerInDenial · 20/11/2020 19:09

Oh, hang on. The Fleetwood mac song is called dreams.

So the theme is dreams????

Well done, midge. You're pitching it right for my friday night, 1/2 way to getting sozzled brain

FlouncerInDenial · 20/11/2020 19:14

P.s. for those of you who weren't able to avoid my self-pitying ranting earlier this week;
Had a very productive meeting about it yesterday, everyone behaved very well and said all the right things.
Very happy to move on, and thank you everyone for being so nice to me about my moaning x 😍💖

FlouncingBabooshka · 20/11/2020 19:24

Good to hear @FlouncerInDenial 😘

@midgebabe the Wendy one is Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run but I don’t get how it fits with the theme 🤔🤔🤔🤔

FlouncingBabooshka · 20/11/2020 19:43

Here are some more on Midge’s theme (assuming we have the right theme!)

90s
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me

60s
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me

80s
Coming in with the golden light
Is the new In the morning

60s
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings

FlouncingBabooshka · 20/11/2020 19:44

Something weird happened when I pasted the 80s lyrics. Should be:

Coming in with the golden light
In the morning

FlouncerInDenial · 20/11/2020 19:56

2nd - the mamas and the papas, dream a little dream

Last one, cheer up sleepy Jean, the monkees
