I don't know why I can't remember that one...
I am the only one working full time?

anyway in the spirit of not letting you get away with things..

I hear her voice
calling my name
the sound is deep

and here are some more with extra lyrics

know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire the way they should
The way the blue could pull me in

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
With stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
'70s probably (early)

Don't deny...
You have seen me before
Realize, look me in the eye, just a while
I've got love, I won't hide it
Now, when I finally found it
Hey you! Hey you! Where did you come from?
A supermarket corridor?
Hey you! Hey you! What's going on?
When I turned my head away...
She had gone the other way
Oh where! Over there! She walks again.
I had to be her boyfriend
Hey you! It's true, baby there I stood
When I looked her in the eye,
She gave me a sweet smile
'80s

I wasn't born, so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see
I heard the people who live on the ceiling
Scream and fight, most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feelin'
That's how it's been, all around me
'80s

Check out mine Rogue. Posted just before the evil goat twins, lonely and ignored.

[quote Honeyroar]@shinynewapple2021 that’s Rock the Boat. No idea who sang it. Odessey?[/quote]

Correct with the song Honeyroar , and Needtoknow was close with the Artist, it was the Hues Corporation.

Midge has some just posted. I can’t get any!
MNerGoneRogueAgain · 01/02/2021 21:25

I don't think I know any outstanding ones.

The TV is on, which makes it harder.

One of them ( supermarket corridor ) might be a little obscure

Would have guessed rogue would like the last band

I thought it was called games without frontiers???
Honeyroar · 01/02/2021 21:38

It’s High time now
Just one crack at life
(80s?)

I’ve been waiting for you
It’s been so long
(80s)

He’s not viscous
Or malicious
Just lovely
(90s)

Travelling somewhere
Could be anywhere
(90s?)

It would be great to die together
On the first day of the year
Cos then we’d be quite legendary
Could you volunteer?
(90s)

I won’t bore you with the details baby
Gonna get there in your own sweet time
(00s??)

There is a theme!!

Honeyroar · 01/02/2021 21:39

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 01/02/2021 21:39

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 01/02/2021 21:40
