I think that’s Hall and Oates it can’t remember the name of it as usual!

@Honeyroar

I’ve never heard of Angie Stone, let alone the song. Sorry.

See! I was wrong about you again. I think it's because you know some 80s school disco dance tunes..?

NeedToKnow101 · 24/06/2021 21:46

Oh I love Hall n Oates. Can't think of the song though..

I fail to see the connection between 80 school disco and obscure soul

midgemagneto · 24/06/2021 21:57

Although there almost an anagram there I suppose

(1)

It's warm in and out
The call for sacred hours
The soft chant of new-born singing
The magic force of your feelings

(2)

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?

(3)

could be a lot but I know I'm not
I'm content just with the riches that you bring

(4)

When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head

(5) Another summer
Another vacation is over
A September morning,
With the sun and the smell of the clover

All songs 80s. Number 5 I think was just an album track but it was a big album for the group concerned .

Arrgh! I'm so behind!

3 is you're the best thing (that ever happened). The style council

RogueMNerHidesUnderBigHat · 24/06/2021 22:06

@NeedToKnow101

Ok just to put you lot out of your misery... 8Cause I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you) Each and every day No more work (No more work) Just a lot of play

Is Big Fun, the Gap Band

10.	Same old story back again

She's not a lover, she's just a friend

Angie Stone, Wish I didn't miss you

I'm sure that's almost what I said sulks
midgemagneto · 24/06/2021 22:17

You can almost have some points then

NeedToKnow101 · 24/06/2021 22:18

😂😂 @RogueMNerHidesUnderBigHat - you guessed a completely different song. And band. And didn't even name the song. Or the band. It was The Real Thing, Can't get by without you, what you thought.,
Anyway have a point for being delusional tenacity.

Remember boy that your forefathers died
Lost in millions for a country's pride
But they never mention the trenches of Belgium
When they stopped fighting and they were one

How many times did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fear kept me wondering, yeah
If I'd always always be in love

To the people at home or in the crowd
It keeps coming up anyhow
Don't be coy, avoid, or make void the topic
Cuz that ain't gonna stop it

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

So I had a bath on Sunday
