1. Every time I look into your loving eyes I see a love that money just can't buy

One look from you I drift away
I pray that you are here to stay

And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight

Both 80s

The first one is Roy Orberson’s You Got it.

Second one rings a bell too. Hmmm.

Oh remembered as soon as I posted!

John Waite - Mossing you.

Hi All

How is it at the polling station today carnage?

Good evening Mr & Mrs America and all ships at sea,
The candidate is taking the country by storm.
70s

The sick and the hungry are unable
Protect them and those who may live in fear
We as the young wish to say in this song
God bless great America
60s, I think

Riot shields
Voodoo economics
It's life, it's life
It's just business
90s

And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
And you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
60s

1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missing y'all
Swinging while I'm singing
Giving whatcha getting
Knowing what I know
80s

Hello Rogue!

1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missing y'all
Swinging while I'm singing
Giving whatcha getting
Knowing what I know
80s

Public Enemy I think..

Fleamaker123 · 06/05/2021 19:56

I feel it's time we should make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, whether or never
70's

Evening everyone!

All these were on a compilation of a group’s hits that was released on this day in 1986.

I’m alive.

I’m dead.

Drip drip drip drip drip drip

Just follow your eyes
