6. Is Raspberry beret, Prince. My absolute fave Prince song! ^
Well done Dexter ⭐️

I think some of the others are still outstanding. I’ll check back and add more lyrics.

FlouncingBabooshka · 10/03/2021 22:23

Ok, here are the outstanding songs with extra lyrics. I think they’re all very guessable now, except number two, which is a difficult one unless you’re a fan.

  1. 80s
Better cut off all identifying labels Before they put you on the torture table 'Cause somewhere in the "Quisling Clinic" There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes

2.70s
I may seem a fool to you for everything I say or think or do
How could I apologies for all those lies
The world may keeps us far apart but up in heaven, angel
You can have my heart
Diamonds may be your best friend
But like laughter after tears
I'll follow you to the end

5.80s
The good people laugh
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we've something they'll never have
Xxxxxxxxxxxx
The sun shines out of our behinds

  1. 80s
Boy meets girl Boy meets girl Feel the rhyme Take the time Go fighting to the top Go number one Stick a honeybun Your mind begins to flop

9.60s, then covered in the 70s and 90s
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest, you just throw them all away
The xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That your poor old granddad
Had to sweat to buy ya

The dream helps you forget you ain't never danced a step
You were never fleet of foot, hippy
All the pathos you can keep for the children in the street

There’s no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They’re falling on deaf ears again
(80’s)

Another night another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
(80’s)

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 11/03/2021 19:31

No particular theme - all 80s

  1. All the things you said to me
I was so obsessed
  1. Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
  1. Faces fall before my feet
Like blood onto a clean white sheet
  1. I move a little closer to you,
Not knowing quite what to do

5.There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
