Here comes my happiness again
Right back to where it should have been

Two dirty old men who I can’t think who sings it 🤮

@NeedToKnow101

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)

Last one is reward - Teardrop explodes

@NeedToKnow101

I'm a man (a man) without conviction CC karma chameleon

And I need you more than ever

Kajagoogoo too shy shy
1984?

Is that Bonnie Tyler - Total eclipse of the heart And I need you more than ever .

Ah, rubbish, most of them have already been got !
Good evening, Im going to sleep now 💤

But fear is in your soul

Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
70s
Blondie, Heart of Glass

I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
80s
All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You, Heart

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

Change is coming 'round real soon
Make us women and men

Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling

If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us

I know the road I must take, with a wink of my eye

3 songs, 1 year.

I'm a man (a man) without conviction

And I need you more than ever

Try a little harder

1983
Karma Chameoleon, Cultrure Club
Total Ecipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler
Too Shy, Kajagoogoo

It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making

1981
Don’t You Want Me, Human League
Tainted Love, Soft Cell
Stand and Deliver, Adam and the Ants

Catch my soul, catch the very light
Hide the moment from my eager eyes
Though you've seen there, please, don't tell a soul
What you can't see, can't be very whole

Young Man

And the vineyards of Bordeaux

1979
I lost My Heart to A Starship Trooper, Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip
YMCA, The Village People
Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Ian Dury and the Blockheads

No matter when or where or who

You're shattered by the final frame of the movie scene
That generates your every aim

Gotta make you understand

1987
It’s a Sin, Pet Shop Boys
Down To Earth, Curiosity Killed The Cat
Never Gonna Give You Up, Rick Astley

The road was right, we must have read the signs wrong

The one you warned me all abut

Turning and returning to some secret place to hide

Morning all!! Rogue you really should be a part-time DJ.
Thanks for the party last night.
Sorry I only posted a few (3?4?) songs, compared to hundreds by you lot. Do I get a prize for being a minimalist.
Yes mine were Passionate Friend, Treason, and Reward, by the fabulous Teardrop Explodes. ❤️

Morning all

Rogue thank you for all your work with the playlist & games. It was fab 😘

There's some great songs on that list!
Missed some of it... But thanks Rogue, and everyone 😊

m.youtube.com/watch?v=riGdrJdbihQ

Watch out for the cool dancer nearly strangling himself with the ribbons 😂

Just to be very, VERY clear, most of those songs were NOT my choice!

Morning all.

Thank you for the past year. 💕💕💕

You've all been amazing and I genuinely feel we've all helped get each other through. For which much thanks.

😘😘😘

I'm so glad I found this thread. Wasn't too sure how to take some of you at first ^ but I've grown a pair since then

Morning all

These two not got from the other evening

Cos honey when I get up close to you (close to you)
70s

Clue: this song came up on the playlist

ba ba ba ba ba da ba ba ba ba da baba ....
watch out I think I like that groove
you can sing it
ba ba ba ba ba da ba ba ba ba da ba
it's lovely it's lovely it's lovely
I mean it ... ohhhhhhhhhhh
80s

Clue: there was a specific 'action' went with this, not exactly a dance ....

Which one came up on the playlist?

How embarrassing for that poster, shiny!!! hopes desperately it wasn't me

Trying to think of an 80s song with an action??? I can't get sit down by James out of my head, but those lyrics are NOT sit down and I think it was 90s anyway

I bet it was one of yours, dexter, you had so many!
