@NeedToKnow101

Roll-up roll-up.. 10 way flurry with a theme!
  1. When I'm with you baby I go out of my head
80s
  1. I've paid my dues
Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime 70s
  1. The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot, and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound 70s
  1. I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wired Oh, you come to me, give me everything I need 90s
  1. These are my salad days
Slowly being eaten away Just another play for today 80s
  1. Nothing more to say
No more ace to play 80s
  1. You're as much to blame
'Cause I know you feel the same I can see it in your eyes 70s
  1. Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D 90s
  1. Winter's cityside, crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind I had no illusions that I'd ever find 80s
  1. Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
    But only for one night with no repeat
    Maybe you'll go away and never call
    And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
    (70s, for theme purposes, also 60s)

  2. (Bonus track - I can't count)
    We feel the steam as it rises around us
    Up from the soil that is cracking its back
    Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin
    80s

  1. Winner takes it all - Abba
  1. Big in Japan - Alphaville
  1. Is it work til you’re muscle bound - Spandex Ballet?

Was Second that emotion Hall ans Oates?

shinynewapple21 · 28/07/2021 15:17

10 goes if you feel like loving me
If you got that notion
I second that emotion

Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
