Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
80s

Ashes to Ashes, David Bowie

Iggi999 · 28/05/2021 20:41

One line each from three bands - the first I ever saw. All 80s Smile

A curious smell, an intangible crime

On the table, signs of love lies scattered

I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry

And my link?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 28/05/2021 20:43

I do not like MM. Rip her to shreds was an attempt at humour.

@FlouncingBabooshka

Dexter - your second one is Robert Palmer Looking for Clues. I once posted the entire lyrics minus the title and nobody got it so I shall be mightily miffed if someone has beaten me to it tonight!
Yes FB, it is!
RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 28/05/2021 20:44

Sorry. Didn't realise we'd gone over a page.
Yes, needtoknow.
7 points.

Yes, all lyrics from thread 1, but NOT the lyrics posted, from elsewhere in the song.

Fleamaker123 · 28/05/2021 20:46

Evening! I couldn't find you all!

Fleamaker123 · 28/05/2021 20:46

1991 was NOT a good year for music...

NeedToKnow101 · 28/05/2021 20:46

I knew it!!!!!! A whole 7 points. I'm made up!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 28/05/2021 20:46

Hi Flea!

FlouncingBabooshka · 28/05/2021 20:47

I have a whole load of very easy lyrics to post - it will be a bun fight...

Evening! You mean TOTP? No it wasn't.

My 80s dreamboat

Until you realize
It's just a story
Until you realize
It's just a story

Love a dream of a love affair
That's, over, past & dying
Celebrate, the great escape
From lunacy divided

Bless my cotton socks, I'm in the news
The king sits on his face buttons all askew
All wrapped up the same (same)
All wrapped up the same (same)

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy

Here's 3 from me

All 80s

  1. The devil will find work for idle hands to do

  2. When you cycled by
    here began all my dreams

  3. I wear Black on the outside
    'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside
    And if I seem a little strange
    Well, that's because I am

I can't think what no 2 is.

But 3 is unlovable

Fleamaker123 · 28/05/2021 20:49

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running 'round in circles in my mind
80s

Rogue, this is REO Speedwagon, Can't fight this feeling

FlouncingBabooshka · 28/05/2021 20:49

@NeedToKnow101. - Teardrop Explodes. The last is Reward. I know the first one - I can hear it but can’t remember the title.

3 is reward.
