Here's an easy and topical theme....

Don't wrap me up in cotton wool
You cannot treat me like a fool
Anyway if I was, you gotta let me be one
80s

I'm glad I opened your eyes
60s (this one might be for Mr FlouncingB)

Ah, but girl you're only a child
70s

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper
50s, so slightly outside our usual window, but hits throughout all our eras

And the operator says forty cents more
For the next three minutes
70s

Open up your window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
Originally 70s. Personally I know the 90s version

She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
But she won't mind me lying
80s

My features form with a change in the weather
We can, we can work it out
80s

So now, I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
90s

Don't stop now a c-'mon
Another drop now c-'mon
I wanna lot now so c-'mon
70s

@shinynewapple21

There are some adverts I've noticed as I like the songs on them , and having decided a couple of weeks back I was going to use it as a theme I started actively noting down some songs that were featured . Sad I know - but it's given me something to do 🤷‍♀️
whatever gets you through lockdown, hun (would insert kissing emoji, but on compter so can't) x
MNerGoneRogueAgain · 14/03/2021 14:08

a FIENDISHLY cryptic theme...

I look at the world
And I notice it's turning
60s

Here we are in a fabulous place
What are you gonna dream here?
We are standing in this fabulous place
What are you gonna play here?
80s

Lying with my woman on The island sand
I look up and see her with
A stranger, hand in hand
I see her sitting on his blanket
I see them going for a swim
80s, stunningly

His international style
Exudes an air of royalties
80s, also stunningly

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say man what are you doin' here?
70s, I love this song

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
60s

FlouncingBabooshka · 14/03/2021 14:29

Rogue, your theme is musical instruments.

The first is While My Guitar Gently Weeps, the Beatles and the international style one is Diana Ross, My Old Piano.

shinynewapple21 · 14/03/2021 14:30

Don't stop now - c'mon

Mama we're all crazy now
Slade

FlouncingBabooshka · 14/03/2021 14:32

Yes to Dock of the Bay and Waterloo Sunset, Rogue.

I think the only one of mine that’s still outstanding is the first one

The teacher never told you anything but white lies.

I’ll post some more lines soon.

Fleamaker123 · 14/03/2021 14:37

Oops just seen Babooshka got Diana Ross, I had the wrong song 😮

Fleamaker123 · 14/03/2021 16:16

I'm caught by the look in your eyes
And it's all for the love of you

FlouncingBabooshka · 14/03/2021 17:02

Here’s a few more lines from my one that’s still outstanding from last night.

80s
She's no angel
He's no saint
They're all covered up with white washed grease paint
And you say
The teacher never told you anything but white lies

Let Loose - Crazy For You.

Spice Girls yesterday, Let Loose today, I need to stop answering these as it's going to dent my reputation Grin

WhipperSnapperSteve · 14/03/2021 17:20
  1. Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
There are the days it never rains but it pours

Late 80s/Early 90s.

  1. So she took her love
For to gaze a while

90's

  1. I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive I don't know how to wake The things that sleep inside

90's

  1. In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits Reality runs up your spine And the pieces finally fit

90's

2 Is Fields of Gold - Sting/Eva Cassidy
