In the second that the hammer hits Reality runs up your spine And the pieces finally fit

CarnageAtTheGuinnessConvention · 14/03/2021 21:01

@WhipperSnapperSteve

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

1 - Under Pressure- Queen and David Bowie ?
midgedude · 14/03/2021 21:07

YES!

WhipperSnapperSteve · 14/03/2021 23:17

Correct Carnage

Just number 3 to guess!

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 14/03/2021 23:50

And the operator says forty cents more
For the next three minutes
70s
Sylvia’s mother, Dr Hook and the Medicine Show got by Coffee

Ah, but girl you're only a child
70s
Does your mother know got by Shiny

So now, I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
90s
Mama Spice Girls got by Coffee (hang your head!)

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
60s
Mr Tambourine Man, Bob Dylan got by Shiny. And right with the Byrds too for an extra point!

I look at the world
And I notice it's turning
60s
While My Guitar Gently Weeps, The Beetles got by FlouncingB, who also got the theme

Don't stop now a c-'mon
Another drop now c-'mon
I wanna lot now so c-'mon
70s
Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Slade got by Shiny, but only 1/2 point because it's supposed to be spelt how I've written it. Those Crazzie Kats!

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
The piano man, Billy Joel got by FlouncingB. Shiny was pipped by nano seconds! I absolutely love the lyrics to this!

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
Bermuda triangle, Barry Manilow got by Coffee

His international style
Exudes an air of royalties
80s, also stunningly
My old piano, Diana Ross got by Flouncing B

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 14/03/2021 23:54

Soooo, still outstanding (do you want more lyrics???)

First theme: Mothers -
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)

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

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 versio

She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
But she won't mind me lying
80s (@FlouncingBabooshka!!!!)

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

And then my second theme (musical instruments) -

oooo, just this one (where is Honeyroar?)

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

FlouncingBabooshka · 15/03/2021 00:34

This one’s for you Rogue because I’m surprised you didn’t include it in your theme...

Filling me up with the shivers.
Filling me up with the shivers and quivers.

FlouncingBabooshka · 15/03/2021 00:45

Is that Tears for Fea4s- Mothers Tallk

CarnageAtTheGuinnessConvention · 15/03/2021 06:57

Flippin heck, Tears for Fears - Mother’s Talk

shinynewapple21 · 15/03/2021 16:07

Songs with mother /ma etc in title I can think of

Mother and child reunion
Mother of mine
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Ma, he's making eyes at me
Mama Mia

I don't think any of your lyrics are these songs though

The line about the stale perfume is vaguely familiar

Bit of a pointless post really Grin

Fleamaker123 · 15/03/2021 16:36

Mama, he's making eyes at me

Lena Zavaroni? I used to love watching her when I was younger, sad life though 😞

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/03/2021 16:59

Never pointless when you post, lovely shiny x

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/03/2021 17:00

I'll add more lyrics later.

Correct carnage and flouncingB

Is this kate? I can almost hear it in my head, but it's just out of reach.

The news is on atm, so it's hard to concentrate. Leave it with me!

This has to be violin.

The song you always hope the people who loathe her and describe her as screechy never hear!

Those words kept morphing into the kick inside in my head. But I bloody knew it wasn't!

CrepuscularCritter · 15/03/2021 20:12

"Open Up Your Window..." is that Tom Jones/Stereophonics and Mama Told Me Not To Come. Originally Three Dog Night? Sorry if someone has already got this, and I've missed it.

And hi to you all. I've been reading, but not here at the right time to guess anything. Blush

Honeyroar · 15/03/2021 21:02

Hello critter. Nice to see you again.

Here are a few from me with a vague, very easy theme..

  1. Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life (90s)
  1. You were stone white, so delicate
Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark (90s)
  1. All I want is a photo in my wallet
A small remembrance of something more solid (80’s)
  1. Oh it’s in colour and your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel and soft as clouds I often kiss you when there’s no one else around (80’s)
  1. It’s not the way that you look
It’s not the way you smile (80’s)
