I am so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best

But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love

Just because you call her mother
Doesn't mean that she's your better

Rogue1001 · 20/01/2022 20:22

Not sure of the other 2.

Dexter, correct.
But shame on you. No points

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 20/01/2022 20:24

I'm staring through the window
Wonder where you are

Turnitupto11 · 20/01/2022 20:27

@Rogue1001 that's correct Smile

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 20/01/2022 20:29

What do I have to do
To make you understand

60s covered in the 80s

Is this sorry seems to be the hardest word?

Can't think who did the original. It's Elton John, isn't it?

Wherever I lay my hat, Paul young Don't know 60s version
AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 20/01/2022 20:47

Correct @shinynewapple22! The original was by Marvin Gaye.

Sorry @Rogue1001, the lyrics are very similar to Elton John.

Rogue1001 · 20/01/2022 20:53

Gah! My first ever concert was Paul Young.

I should have got that

I am mortified

I am ashamed enough to dock myself 1/2 a point

😁 lol! A clue for my other one is there is also another song with the same title, which was a 60s hit which was also covered in the 80s!
AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 20/01/2022 21:04

I actually just realised that, it wasn't deliberate!

Rogue1001 · 20/01/2022 21:08

No brain tonight! Will have to leave it for someone else

Is it OMD's Locomotion ?
AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 20/01/2022 22:11

Correct @shinynewapple22, you are on fire!

Of course another Locomotion was a hit for Kylie in the 80s, a cover from the 60s.

shinynewapple22 · 20/01/2022 23:54

It was your clue that gave it away goodytwoshoes!

Bat out of hell, Meatloaf. RIP big man, thanks for the wonderful tunes 😢
dexterslockedintheshedagain · 21/01/2022 09:11

Amen to that

@shinynewapple22 happy to help!

Yes RIP Meatloaf, the song Bat out of Hell was on the radio yesterday, still played all the time. Jim Steinman who wrote, or co- wrote, the songs died this year too.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 21/01/2022 10:44

Oops meant last year 2021 not this year.

anothersmahedmug · 21/01/2022 23:50

Feeling like pushing boundaries

1930's
Plus a few covers

They said someday you'll find all who love are blind

Rogue1001 · 22/01/2022 00:21

Ok. I'm up too late, drinking and watching unsuitable television.

All 80s....
