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

I'm a traveller of both time and space

70s

I never thought I'd see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me
70s

Is that Rose Royce, wishing on a star @shinynewapple2021 ?

Should I be alarmed that none of you knew my offering?

I escaped the attention of the stasi today

Yes @CarnageAtTheJanuarySales that's right

Sorry I don't recognise your lyrics Perdita.

Carnage I’m loving these name changes. It’s like carnage follows you around!

Perdita I couldn’t get your lyrics either.

@midgebabe Your's sounds like it should belong to Dr Who!

Three songs - sorry no connection just in my head tonight!
First is 70s, 2nd 80s, 3rd 90s.

Lead you to the supermarket checkouts
Some specials and rat food

You know you looked just like a baby
Fast asleep in this dangerous world.

Can't face a club,
They walk to a nearby pub

The alarm, where were you hiding when the storm broke. Seemed apt yesterday.

@Iggi999 the middle one is Eurythmics When Tomorrow Comes

Easy ones for maybe a tough day..

Don't back date it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty is naked
80s

You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?
80s and also earlier original

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
70s

Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath
70s

One more.. 90s?
Give me just a second and I'll be alright
Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart
Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay
Just another day and then I'll hold you tight

Hope everyone isn't too gutted about the new lockdown, and too affected by it.

You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?
80s and also earlier original

Happy Talk - Captain Sensible
Can’t remember who did the original

Mine was not dr who Although an episode in the last series may have been set there come to think .. really famous riff

Oh... head heavy .. hotel California the eagles

Don't back date it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty is naked
80s

I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes
80s

80s
