On the silverscreen
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene

90s hit, but much older track.

All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
70s and then I think 90s

Here in our paper houses,
Stretching for miles and miles
Old men in stripy trousers rule the world with plastic smiles
80s

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 13/07/2021 16:35

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!

No reason, just seems so pleasing

She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
She leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

They try to tell us we don't belong
That's all right, we're millions strong
This is my music, it makes me proud
These are my people and this is my crowd

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 13/07/2021 16:39

I'll take you down, I'll take you down
Where no one's ever gone before

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 13/07/2021 16:40

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby

Carnival The wheels fly and the colours spin
U2, unforgettable fire

Love that song, but it makes me feel a bit sad

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 13/07/2021 16:41

See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine (world, world)
(It's his, his and hers alone)

Hits many times since the 60s onwards

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 13/07/2021 16:44

It's dying now
She knows I'm crying now

60s, but I only have interest in the 80s version. You need both for the points, obvs
Don't get the 80s one wrong!

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 13/07/2021 16:45

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 13/07/2021 16:46

Straddle the line in discord and rhyme

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 13/07/2021 16:46

Oh, my child
You got so much
You're gonna take away my energy
70s
