So far so good

Theme?

shinynewapple21 · 03/09/2021 19:01

60s
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
Abd one thing I know is true

I think this one's Summer in the City

80s
And I can't win and it ain't right
You tell me all you've done snd seen

This is Kirsty McKoll. Song might be Guy works down the chip shop thinks he's Elvis

midgemagneto · 03/09/2021 19:03

It's not summer in the city

midgemagneto · 03/09/2021 19:04

But the chip shop is correct

shinynewapple21 · 03/09/2021 19:04

And if the 60s one isn't summer in the city it's the song that goes 'we gotta get out of this place '

midgemagneto · 03/09/2021 19:05

@midgemagneto

It's not summer in the city
but I can see hoe you got there

Another one on theme

80s
Do you remember chalk hearts melting on the playground wall
Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls

midgemagneto · 03/09/2021 19:06

@shinynewapple21

And if the 60s one isn't summer in the city it's the song that goes 'we gotta get out of this place '
Yes!
shinynewapple21 · 03/09/2021 19:06

Is that Marilion Kayleigh ?

midgemagneto · 03/09/2021 19:08

It is.

Theme yet?

The last one is very obscure snd targeted at rogue who will rock up late and get upset that none are left

shinynewapple21 · 03/09/2021 19:09

The theme - it's about fish ?

Mussels
Sole (soul)
Oysters
Plaice (place)
Chip shop
Sea bass

midgemagneto · 03/09/2021 19:10

Yeah!
Clearly too easy

shinynewapple21 · 03/09/2021 19:11

Very cryptic!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 10/09/2021 22:25

Evening everyone

Apologies for neglecting the thread of late. Unfortunately life just gets in the way!

Tough is the leather that’s strapped to my skin
Strong are the bonds that we make
(80s)

I remember the things that we used to do
A kiss in the rain til the sun shines through
I try to deny it
But I’m still in love with you
(80s)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/09/2021 16:59

Hello all

Every time I think I've had enough And start heading for the door There's a very strange vibration Piercing me right through the core It says, turn around, you fool You know you love him more and more Tell me why is it so 80s

I should have known better
But I trusted you at first.
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved
80s

Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face,
Brush shoulders with the stars.
Where strangers take you by the hand,
80s

Why do you keep a comin' around
Playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a brand-new start
80s

No rhythm in cymbals, no tempo in drums
Love on arrival, she comes when she comes
Right on the target but wide of the mark
What I thought was fire was only the spark
80s
