You'll have to give us some clues Coffee... Is it one of those songs that has its own dance, like the Macarana?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2020 20:32

Well done @midgebabe, Can we fix it!

Well done Midge.

Right, finally, here’s a themed selection. It’s perhaps a rather more convoluted theme than usual. Some of the connections are a little more obscure than others, but there are enough obvious ones for the theme to be identified (I think!)

90s
I rise as the morning comes
Crawling through the blinds
I shouldn't be up at this time
But I can't sleep with you there by my side

80s
Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail

60s
It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand

80s
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth

90s
All human life is here
From the feeble old dear to the screaming child

70s
I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
I'm looking for the treason that I knew in '65

80s
New beginnings, new surroundings, new love
Another world to dream of
New beginnings, new surroundings, new love
It's a xxxxxx xxx xxxxx

70s
let me grab your soul away

80s
It's been such a long week
So much crying
I no longer see a future

80s
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth

60s
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway

90s
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away

70s
I'm not the man they think I am at home

80s
Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better

60s
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good

60s
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young
When I was quite young

80s
And I forget, I forget the movie song

80s
The fire still burns at night
My memories are warm and clear
But everybody knows it's hard to be alone at this time of year

The connection to the theme for the next three is neither a performer nor a title, but each one connections to the theme in the same way...

Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel

While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love

Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2020 21:20

Benny was a boy I met while walking home one day
He made me forget my marbles
He said he had another game to play.
80s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2020 21:25

Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel - Good king Wenceslas

While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love

Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain - We 3 kings of orient are
