Evening all, hope you have had a good week. A few lyrics to start the weekend 😊

Now everytime I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
Cos I just wait till you write me your coming around
80s

I can't wear this uniform without some compromises
Because you'll find out that we come
In different shapes and sizes
No one can be myself like I can
For this job I'm the best man
90s

And they're gone so fast, yeah
Oh, so hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
And when you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care?
Oh care
90s

Come on put your hands together right here
When disco was number one, so was this
The year was 1974
Let's get on down y'all
70s

If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
80s

We are young
(Heartache to heartache)
Heartache to heartache
(We stand)…
80s

Well I'm gonna get myself 'cross the river
That's a price I'm willing to pay
I'm gonna make you stand and deliver
And give me love in the old-fashion way
80s

Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire
90s

Morning! Bit of a self-indulgent theme ... I'm off out now, might add to it later..

  1. As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things But happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion (Original is 60s, various covers)
  1. Baby, can I dress you
I mean, help you pick out your clothes before we go out? 80s
  1. No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after Walking through an empty house Tears in my eyes 70
  1. Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold 80s
  1. But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression 60s, brilliant cover in the 80s
  1. Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do 60s and 80s
  1. A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away? We've come too far to leave it all behind How could we end it all this way? 70s
  1. I went to the doctor, guess what he told me
Guess what he told me 80s
  1. Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind 80s
  1. And so you're back from outer space 70s
Rogue1001 · 28/08/2021 10:37
  1. What becomes of the broken hearted.
Brothers. Walker? Isley?

Rogue1001 · 28/08/2021 10:38

Rogue1001 · 28/08/2021 10:39

5 is tears of a clown.

Rogue1001 · 28/08/2021 10:39

Don't leave me this way

Rogue1001 · 28/08/2021 10:40
  1. If you leave me now.

Rogue1001 · 28/08/2021 10:48

No 5, I've forgotten who sung it originally but the cover is by the beat, I think. Agree it's fab

Rogue1001 · 28/08/2021 10:57

For N2k

I'm adaptable and I like my new role
I'm getting better and better, I have a new goal

80s

Rogue1001 · 28/08/2021 10:59

And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

80s

Rogue1001 · 28/08/2021 11:02

It's just a silly phase I'm going through
