And a few more that I can’t be bothered to find from last week when I had a lying flurry! I probably can’t remember what they were myself anymore- you know I’ve got the short term memory of a goldfish..

Honeyroar · 25/01/2022 23:06

Correct Iggi for the last one.

Iggi999 · 25/01/2022 23:08

Here's an 80s one:
Tired of chasing old dreams
Tired of wasting days
Tired of waking mornings
Just to wait for you till late

I had it on an album of tom Jones covers/duets in the 90s

Ooo. I feel I should know that one too, but my mind's a blank. Looooong day at work. Only just home

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 26/01/2022 19:36

Correct @Rogue1001MNer, I bought the album Kick when it came out.

Rogue1001MNer · 26/01/2022 19:42

Our honey is the inxs fan

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 26/01/2022 19:47

I knew someone who thought Inxs was pronounced ink spots 😳😳

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 26/01/2022 19:57

I loved INXS and Michael Hutchence around that time, the bikers jacket and cycling shorts! Saw them live too.

Me too. They did a free concert in Paris in a city square and my friends and I pushed right to the front. I thought they were amazing (and Micheal was 😍)
AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 28/01/2022 17:34

That sounds amazing @Honeyroar! I saw them in Glasgow.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 28/01/2022 17:36

Another clue for my outstanding- song was in an American film franchise, sung by an iconic American singer.

Rogue1001MNer · 28/01/2022 23:51
