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

This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital
To rock (a rhyme), that's right (on time)

Said you ain't seen, nothin'
Til you're down on the muffin
And there's sure to be a change in ways
Now there's a cheer, leader
That's a real big, pleaser
As far as I can reminisce

Listen party people here's a serious song
It's right not wrong, I should say right on
I gotta tell you somethin' that you all should know
It's not a mystery it's history and here's how it go

80s

The proud of you one is Spandau Ballet’s Gold. The Ghost of a chance one is Lifeline, the third one is True, which is also the album title, I think?

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing

A fold in an eyelid brushed with fear
The lines on a compact guide
Pass around
A hat with alignment worn inside

If you're a hard man or if you're a child
It still might get to you

80s

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part

Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to be
Someone’s taken my place

I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises

70s

Are you the only one on here atm Honey Monster? You're going to clean up!

Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical

You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money

You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you

[many versions]

80s

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling off a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Is tellin you somebody died

Color u peach and black
Color me taken aback
Crucial, I think I want ya

Not that you're helpless
But sometime, sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about

These are all Prince

Sign o the times

You got the look

And if I was your girlfriend

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She builds you up to just put you down
What a clown

I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand to your darkness, so you won't be afraid

60s

I just got back from shopping and need to put stuff away. Not great timing @MNerGoneRogue

The hurricane Annie one is Prince, Sign of the times.
The Peach and black is You’ve got the look.

No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

Yes the picture's changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it

Walk on air
Am I still dreaming
Words to spare
Lost in their meaning
I'd better be strong now

80s

And the Prince album is Sign of the Times I think?

And one for our FlouncingB (although she'll like the one above as well)

I realize he's there
When I turn the light off
And turn over

I hated you, I loved you too

Touch me, hold me
How my open arms ache
Try to fall for me

70s

You don’t think of them as human is Private Dancer by Tina Turner.
The physical logical one is What’s love got to do with it.

@Honeyroar

The hurricane Annie one is Prince, Sign of the times. The Peach and black is You’ve got the look.

Got them already! 🤪

@Honeyroar

The proud of you one is Spandau Ballet’s Gold. The Ghost of a chance one is Lifeline, the third one is True, which is also the album title, I think?

all correct.

Three songs
Band name
Album title.

5 points to the Roaring Honey Monster

Well Honey you did get the album first, I'll give yer that x

5 Points to the woman with freezer stuff melting.

Destination you don’t know it is Avalon - Roxy music.

I'm going to leave you for a bit and check back later.

Have fun x

Lid the reason one might be Human League- Love is the reason?
Still might get to you one - Love action?
The pass around one is Sound of the crowd?
Album possibly Dare?

I gotta go out.

If you're a hard man or if you're a child
It still might get to you

Love Action Human League from the Dare Album

1st one is Fascination.. or something?

@midgebabe

We don't have dogs, needtoknow, never been too confident with dogs since one decided to move me out of the way so he could hump my doggie walker when I was about 2!

Yikes!! 😂😘

It's wonderful to be here
It's certainly a thrill

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time

[many, many covers of this track!]

Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all

This is the Beatles, Sgt Pepper is the first one, I get by with a little help from my friends
Don't recognise the third!
