1)Now, now, now, wait a minute, y'all
This dance ain't for everybody

2)I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV

  1. Your moves are so raw
    I've got to let you know

  2. Walking back to you
    Is the hardest thing that
    I can do

  3. And in the darkened underpass
    I thought, "Oh God, my chance has come at last"

  4. It was many years ago that I became what I am
    I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb

Morning.

The ones I know have been got. The rest Pantry, not a clue, sorry!

shinynewapple21 · 23/05/2021 12:23

How can I go on.
Crying so long, xxxxxx xxxxx
Where strangers look for new love
I'm so lost in love,

80s

NeedToKnow101 · 23/05/2021 13:11

Early morning Manhattan,
Ocean winds blow on the land.
Movie-Palace is now undone,
The all-night watchmen have had their fun.
Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show,
It's the same old ending - time to go.
Get out!
70s

I had completely forgotten this song. Heard it this morning.

Over you - Roxy Music.

I like Roxy Music..

CarnageRoundTheMaypole · 23/05/2021 13:33

No @NeedToKnow101, not Gary Numan
He was really good on Sunday Brunch this morning.

CarnageRoundTheMaypole · 23/05/2021 13:39

Thanks for giving Gary Numan a mention though @NeedToKnow101 🙂

shinynewapple21 · 23/05/2021 16:08

Correct with Roxy Music, Carnage

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 23/05/2021 17:02

Sorry, folks. Been distracted this weekend so not posted much. Here's some to keep you busy.

First one is for FlouncingB, cos I've not seen her on here for a while, and I miss her when she's not with us.

  1. I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said
That I never said
80s

  1. Search your heart
Search your soul 90s
  1. Or is it in his face, oh no it's just his charm
90s
  1. Left, right, left
We all fall down 80s
  1. I shake my little tush on the catwalk
90s
  1. Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring 80s
  1. Far, far away
Someone was weeping 90s
  1. Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine 90s
  1. I've been a player in the crowd scene
A flicker on the big screen My soul embraces one more in a million faces High hopes and aspirations, and years above my station Maybe but all this time I've tried to walk with dignity and pride 90s
  1. But it's so hard to talk to you with fellas
    Hanging 'round ya all the time
    90s

  2. Girl you make me feel real good
    We can do it 'til we both wake up
    Girl you know I'm hooked on you
    And this is what I'll do
    90s

  3. And now we're flyin' through the stars
    I hope this night will last forever
    80s

  4. Design a rhyme I just won't fear
    Back to react, enough is enough
    Let me ask you a question
    90s

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 23/05/2021 17:12

Well, I'm ashamed of some of you on this thread....

These are still outstanding from Friday night.

Amusing belly dancers
Distract me from my wine
70s

I follow the Christmas lights down town.
I'm leaving the flow
Of people walking all around,
80s

After eating I go out
People passing by me shout
80s

I'm as honest as the day is long
The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong
80s

He picks up useless paper
And puts it in my pocket
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean
80s

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 23/05/2021 17:12

Is no 5 Right Said Fred - I'm too sexy?

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 23/05/2021 17:17

did this one of honey's get got?

Monkey see monkey do
I don’t know why
Rather be dead than cool
I don’t know why
(80s)

It's nirvarna. Stay away. I'd have bet it was 90s though

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 23/05/2021 17:22

No 4 of Pantry's from this morning is Jesus and Mary Chain. I knew I knew it. Just like honey????

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 23/05/2021 17:23

NeedToKnow
Thanks for confirming my correct answer Rogue.

I wasn't confirming your answer, Needtoknow, as I'd already pipped you!
I was merely correcting you

Doh!!!!! No 5 is the Smiths - there is a light that never goes out!

I got stuck on No 4 earlier, and didn't really look a lot further on. I don't know no 6.
