How funny! I only knew the cry, justify bit! Never twigged it was all one song!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/02/2021 16:26

Amibition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers

Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
Looking for a little bit of love to grow,

I find out everybody knows that
You've been using me
I'm surprised you
Let me stay around you

All 80s

Here I am, I'm playing daydreaming fool again.
My favorite game.
And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above.
You're the one that I love

And though the rain may fall your father's calling you
You still feel safe inside
And though your ma's too proud your brother's ignoring you
You still feel safe inside

Both 80s

Is the first one Owen Paul, My favourite waste of time?

Honeyroar · 03/02/2021 16:56

Second one is Good Tradition by Tabitha Tickeram.

That Justify one of Babooshkas morphed into something else in my head while I was at the dentist. Couldn’t get it! All I could sing was “to clarify and justify”. When I finally got what it was those words weren’t in it!! See if you can get it...

Your face is hidden and we’re out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere.
(80s)

Not a clue, Honey!

Try this:
"Hold onto sixteen as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men"

midgedude · 03/02/2021 17:09

Not jack and Diane again is it?

@Honeyroar

Oh and Needtoknow Boobies have to be in pairs at the festival- you know I have duos of pets!😊. Like Noah...

That will be a challenge.. I might need a partner in crime if I'm to kidnap a pair ...

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/02/2021 17:33

@midgedude

Not jack and Diane again is it?
Oh, I see it's been done before.... sorry! Yes it is. But who sang it (the name they used at the time it was released, not the one they use now)?
midgedude · 03/02/2021 17:41

I think if you look at the previous thread you may see it's one of the most popular songs ever

I have seen John (cougar)! Melloncamp as answers for the who

Honeyroar · 03/02/2021 18:17

To be fair just about everything we post has been done several times by now. You usually get away with it because we’ve all got dementia. And if you immediately post the same song but different lyrics people don’t know it.

midgedude · 03/02/2021 18:18

At least it was a different thread

Damn. I thought I was being clever. Deduct me 500 points for cockiness!

There have been occasions when I’ve had to google lyrics I’ve posted because I’ve instantly forgotten what they are Blush
