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

No problem shelf elf. I was just really chuffed I got all the Madonna songs (some with flea) & album. Doesn't happen often 🤣.

Thanks for all the lyrics shelf cleaning,

70s

Everybody's having fun

Morning!

And this old world is a new world and a bold world for me

Original and best 60s

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Where's a warrior Without his pride?

You cut off his head, legs come looking for you

But deep inside Geronimo is tearing me apart
I've seen him in the streets
And I've seen him in the pictures

80s

I don't think ANYONE guessed ANY of these (I'd insert a shocked face emoji, but i'm on the computer not the phone, so no access to emojis!) So ALL these are still up for grabs. This was the easy one I started with.

I think Honey has a story....
EVERYONE goes 3 rungs down on the coolness ladder!

Dog eat dog Ant music ? Its driving me nuts i know this!!!

Kings of the wild frontier.

Is the outstanding Thriller one Pretty Young Things? (I thought it was Off the wall)

That was some lyric posting ClearingSpace! Good fun too. Have a rest today 😴

I have a confession. I always thought the lyrics to When Dever Cry went “Maybe I’m just like my mother. She never sat inside!” Which made perfect sense to me as an outdoor type..🤪

😂🤣 .. and it's a covid premonition!

@Honeyroar

@Honeyroar I've been amazed at how many lyrics were not as I thought now I've seen them written down .

Thank you for the lyric fest yesterday @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

• good idea for a theme

@shinynewapple2020

I'm lost again And I'm on the run Looking for love In a sad song 80s

Reposting this from yesterday

Yes and I don’t think anyone got my similar one I posted after it...

I’m on the run
But I ain’t got no gun
See they want to be the star
So they’re fighting tribal war
(90s)

@Honeyroar

Yes it was True Blue *@CoffeeBeansGalore*

Correct with confusion @CarnageAtTheGardenCentre (have you finished the elf Xmas party?

Ah well, the elf got drunk and went home early at the Xmas one, so now he has decided to have another. Any excuse for another party really 😀

🤣 well absolutely!

No one got mine either..

Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall was ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days
80s

@Honeyroar

Are these the only ones not guessed? We’ve done v well if so! So have you working out what is left!

Yes, you're all super-good reluctantly and grudgingly sends all of you a couple of rungs up the coolness ladder

One of mine too from a while back

So tell me am I looking better?
Have you forgot
Whatever it was that you couldn't stand
About me about me about me?

95

Willow's post this morning (can't quote as it's a quoted post).

Correct with both songs, and kings of the wild frontier is the album. Still one song to get though

@Honeyroar

Is the outstanding Thriller one Pretty Young Things? (I thought it was Off the wall)

Yes. No, not off the wall.. although that is a classic album

@Fleamaker123 that’s Skunk and Anasie -Yes.

So many outstanding ones! I'm not getting any of those reposted.

Sorry about overly bombarding you with lyrics yesterday. I had the idea and git a bit carried away.
I will go back and consolidate everything, but not today as I'm everso tired. 🥱😴

[quote Honeyroar]@Fleamaker123 that’s Skunk and Anasie -Yes.[/quote]
The song is called Yes, but it's not Skunk Anansie

Although I've just googled to check, Skunk Anansie did do a song called Yes around the same year, and the singers do look similar 🤔

Ooh I might have the wrong song completely then! I thought it went something like “yes I do feel better, yes I do I feel alright..”

@Honeyroar

Ooh I might have the wrong song completely then! I thought it went something like “yes I do feel better, yes I do I feel alright..”

Yes that's the one! It's McCalmont & Butler 👍 I didn't have you down as a Skunk Anansie fan 😂 How weird they had a song at the same time tho!
