Built a moon
For a rocking chair,
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
80s

Dream, if you can, a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
80s

Subtle innuendos follow
80s

  1. "I don't want charity, just half a chance"
    80s

  2. I saw you walking by the other day
    I know that you saw me, you turned away
    80s

  1. Sweet sixteen, Billy idol
RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 17:21
  1. Prince. When doves cry
RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 17:22

I know the last 3, but can't quite reach them atm.

Hopefully the others WON'T be along while I sing in my head...

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 17:24

Arrrgh!

Must be something inside!

Goody two shoes, Adam and the ants

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 23/07/2021 17:36

All correct Rogue!

ABBA? I don't think so

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 23/07/2021 17:46

Not Abba - would you like another line?

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 17:47

Stupid me!

Hi midge ❤❤❤

Can you clean up where I can't?

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 23/07/2021 17:50

Bit more to help you with the last two

  1. "I don't want charity, just half a chance
    And it's all up to you, yes it's all up to you"
    80s

  2. I saw you walking by the other day
    I know that you saw me, you turned away
    And I was lost
    You see, I've never loved no one as much as you
    I've fooled around but tell me now just who is hurtin' who?
    80s

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 18:44

Is 4 a male group? Boppy? Matching suits???? I can sort of see something in my mind

Honeyroar · 23/07/2021 18:45

That one is I should’ve known better - was it Jimmie Nail??

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 18:45

I sooooo know 5. Grrr

Honeyroar · 23/07/2021 18:46
  • That last one
RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 23/07/2021 18:46

What no 4 honey?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/07/2021 18:48
