New born eyes always cry with pain At the first look at the mornin' sun 70s and 80s. Both dire
Fool if you think it's over

But no idea who.
Can't even decide if it's make or female singing

Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need
There's no future
No future
No future for you

Then down on the shore
They gather romance
She showed me much more

there's a few there.

I'll put lyrics up properly once I've broken up for the summer. Just a few atm because I'm so stressed and busy

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth
Until they've faded, but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back
At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked

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

Elton John,

Nik Kershaw

I won't let the sun go down on me

mmmm. Have another think, Flea. The two titles are not entirely the same. You've fallen into my cunning trap there!

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 13/07/2021 18:18

btw, all guesses right unless stated

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/07/2021 18:20

Elton John was Don't let rhe sun go down on me

& Nik Kershaw I won't let the sun go down on me

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Let 'em say we're crazy I don't care about that

Is this the one used in Mannequin?

I think so.

and I'm PRETTY sure this song was one of your nominations for an after show party.

So nul points for not getting it immediately

Sits alone and bends his cane
Same old backsides again

Is that either Pink Floyd or Madness? Can't be bothered too think. To hungry

All points wiped, needtoknow. First single I ever brought.

midgemagneto · 13/07/2021 18:23

Don't let the sun go down on me Is more like the Elton John one
