Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions 😊

If you're still there when it's all over
I'm scared I'll have to say
That a part of you has gone
Since yesterday

80s.

I'm new here so I hope this one hasn't been done already!

Hello @FortunesFave, we are still over on Thread 16 if you'd like to join us. Don't worry, most songs have been done at least once, but it doesn't matter 😊

Oh! Why was this one started then?

Oh! Why was this one started then?

Hello @FortunesFave - Coffee always starts it, and sometimes the last one gets filled up quickly, so she gets it ready for us well in advance .. come to the other one for a bit..

😂😂 I'm such a plonker!

Thanks @CoffeeBeansGalore 😍 .. it's here @Honeyroar 👋🏼😘

Thanks Coffee 😊

Hello Fortunesfave. Your song rings a bell, but I can’t quite get it. Is it Strawberry Switchblade?🤔

Hello All

Missed the end of 16, what's up Honey?

Thanks coffee.

I could've needtoknow, but I chose not to. I'm awarding myself a point for kindness.

P.s. you know it's still not full yet, don't you?

@FortunesFave, is it dreams of yesterday, strawberry switchblade?

Reposting from this morning on the last thread (and including the one I forgot to post with the pack):

Here you go, gang. Nice easy songs with a nice easy theme.
Perfect for a Saturday.
Enjoy x

I was always thinking
games that I was playing
trying to make the best of my time
Originally 70s covered in the 90s. Bonus points if you can name both and double bonus points if your favourite version matches mine.

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
90s
Achy Breakey Heart, Billy J Cyrus, got by Flea

Praise with elation, praise every morning
70s
Morning has Broken by Cat Stevens got by Shiny

I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lie
60s This one looks hard, but the song's got a very distinctive sound. Don't slam the door on this one assuming you don't know it!

But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
80s
Queen, I want to break free, got by coffee.

The road behind was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past
Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast?
80s
Break My Stride, Matthew Wilder got by Flea

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone, and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
80s
Hard Habit to Break which IS by Chicago not whoever Flea said, got by Flea

I was your clown
70s
Don't go breakin' my heart by Elton John and Kiki Dee, got by coffee

I love the work on it can do

Oh change of mind
Oh change of mind
70s

Theme of breaking in all the titles. I can post more lyrics if you need them?

Oh hello. Just popping by to mark a seat, busy these days with baby DD. Gosh I forgot how much extra washing she generates !

I didn’t know you had a baby Midge! Although I could’ve guessed from your name! Aww.

@elfonthe shelf ahh! Yours is The Doors - BREAK on through.

Hello Fortunesfave. Your song rings a bell, but I can’t quite get it. Is it Strawberry Switchblade?🤔

I didn't ignore your question @Honeyroar - I answered it in two parts... to help me fill up the thread.. ❤️😘

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Thanks coffee.

I could've needtoknow, but I chose not to. I'm awarding myself a point for kindness.

❤️ even you wouldn't stoop so low as to beat me to the end of the thread straight after my heartfelt theme. Although I promise I didn't choose it to manipulate you.. (hope I didn't do they subconsciously, would that make me a sociopath) .?

Found you!

Haven’t been around much. Am hopelessly lost.

Did a quick scan of the last few pages of thread 16. Good to have you back @simplysteveredux 🥰. Sorry to hear you’re going through such a horrible and worrying time. You got National Express by The Divine Comedy, which I think was the last outstanding lyric from my literary theme. 🌟. Does anyone want to nab some bonus points for the literary connection?

Thanks to @CoffeeBeansGalore for the new thread and nice to meet you @FortunesFave.

I will try to unfrazzle my mind enough to think up some lyrics for you all...

I didn't know either! How old is she? She has a very clever mummy! 😍

Good evening 👋.
Looking forward to joining you tomorrow.
Or is the other one not full yet then!?

Hello! Yes it is.. ElfShelf is winding me up ..

Some lyrics

That sweet city woman
She moved through the light
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me, yeah
And the feelin' is right
70s

Welcome @FortunesFave, by the way.

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre It's full! She's winding someone up 😁

That sweet city woman
She moved through the light
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me, yeah
And the feelin' is right
