Never saying what they mean now Never saying what they mean

Google tells me '90s which surprises me

This sounds like the games people play (now) which is 60s, although there might have been later covers.

Lumme, I've missed a lot! You lot have been lyric-y today

I haven’t been on this thread before but isn’t 6 The cure / close to me?
Who?

Never heard of them.

Oh, hang on, aren't they an American country band? Yes, I think I have heard of them before

Rogue1001 · 18/01/2022 17:03

anothersmahedmug · 18/01/2022 17:04

No, you're the first Rogue. Correct 🙌🏼

@BowerOfBramble

Where you going with that UB40 in your hand? (80s)
(I'm) going down to Liverpool (to do nothing). Bangles did it, but was that a cover?
Rogue1001 · 18/01/2022 17:42

Heard this one on the radio this w/end
1
I drank a little too much red wine and we got into a fight
She said I'm leavin' and I let her go
I felt so bad this morning, I reached right for the phone
70s

And it's inspired this mini-theme
2
Oh I just can't control myself
70s

3
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
80s
(I think this is a relatively unknown lyric in a song of v well known lyrics, so a bonus point for this one)

4
Started movin' it in on a Tuesday at two
Singing do lolly lolly, shicky do, shicky do
70s

5
I'll only keep her a while
70s

6
...but my live for you, girl
Still remains the same

Now I've been loving you
And you've been loving me
So long, baby, what's wrong?
60s

7
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
2010s

8
Roll me in designer sheets
80s

9
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
80s

10
It's a dark and dreary night. Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how I can go on here without you?
70s

NeedToKnow101 · 18/01/2022 17:43

Hello, Lionel Ritchie? (Probably wrong as per)

Rogue1001 · 18/01/2022 17:45

No. Unusually, you're correct

Rogue1001 · 18/01/2022 17:46

Love not live.
Sorry

I was going to tell you that, but was worried you'd put me in the naughty corner.
