Since I met you
I’ve begun to feel so strange
Every time I speak your name
(80s)

@NeedToKnow101

Just before I go to bed these songs popped into my head..

Madman drummer bummers
Indians in the summer
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps
His way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder
Feeling kinda older
70s

Oh I forgot the other one.. 😘

Blinded by the light It was a hit for Manfred Mann, I think, as Midge has said , written by Bruce Springsteen

Correct Shiny and Midge too. ✅✅😘

Honeyroar · 24/02/2021 19:20

Correct Flea.

The one from the other day was Gloria Estafan and the Miami Sound Machine - Rhythm is gonna get you.

I’m hoping Midge’s move has gone well, the weather has been windy and wet here today, hope it hasn’t made things difficult for her.

Fleamaker123 · 24/02/2021 19:25

Oh yes Honeyroar of course

Honeyroar · 24/02/2021 21:08

I’m hot
Sticky sweet
From my head to my feet

shinynewapple21 · 24/02/2021 21:11

Hope all well. Hope the move happening midge.

Honeyroar · 24/02/2021 21:45

Correct Rogue.✅

But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
(80s)

I said it again but could I please rephrase it
Maybe I could catch a ride
I couldn’t really put it much plainer
But I’ll wait til you decide

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 24/02/2021 21:47

First one is i want to break free by Queen.

3rd one is the cure. Let's go to bed

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 24/02/2021 21:48

I thought my brain was too fried to guess a lyric.

Everyone ok?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/02/2021 21:51

Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
My mind was sleepwalking

Correct Rogue for both. (Sorry coffee). The middle one is a very popular band on here too.

Hope you’re all ok.

Honeyroar · 24/02/2021 22:01

Coffee is that Oliver’s army? Brittney keeps changing the artist’s name as I type it - she’s put Levi and Elbow Costello so far!!??

The Cure was already guessed by Rogue Pantry. The middle one is still outstanding though.

Oh, yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know
For you, I'd bleed myself dry
