Midge correct to echo beach , Katrina & the waves - waking on sunshine and sailing .

Still outstanding

Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together
80s

A longing for
Some fresher feeling
Belonging
Or just forever kneeling
80s

A way to come together

Afternoon All

This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
80s

Queen, it's a kind of magic

Morning 😊

Needtoknow- you are correct with Madonna but wrong song . Have a quick look at the other titles I posted and see which Madonna track fits the theme !!

The Madonna song is ‘Holiday’ Smile

‘You are an ocean wave, my love, crashing at the bow,
I am a galley slave, my love - if only I could find out the way to sail you,
Maybe I’ll just stow away.’

CoffeeBeansGalore · 07/06/2021 16:30

Correct to Queen, Flea 👍😊

Thanks Rogue & Honey for your messages on the "other" thread, remind me never to try and hide from you! 😂😂

Looks like I'll be away a few days, but I'll be on here lots while recovering Smile

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 08/06/2021 19:53

Believe it or not I woke up at 6am and thought "Grrr, it was All About Eve"

@WhipperSnapperSteve - hope you are on the road to recovery.

Here's a few lyrics to be going on with - no particular theme

1)She's worse to him than me let her go ahead
Take his love instead
60s

  1. And now I'm like a child again Calling out his mama's name 70s

3)So what do you want of me
Got no words of sympathy
80s

RogueMNerHidesUnderBigHat · 08/06/2021 20:22

midgedude · 08/06/2021 20:52

Well I hope whipper takes these without offense

1: you said you would come and dance with me
Dance with me across the sea

2; prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend named Jesus

3: I wasn't looking but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
( extra points for why???)

4:there's a little black spot on the sun today
The Same old spot as yesterday
