First time ever I saw your face was written by Ewan MacColl, Kirsty MacColl's dad. I think his partner Peggy Seeger sang it although it was Roberta Flack who had a big hit with it. I think!

Rogue1001MNer · 01/02/2022 18:39

Gah! Pipped.

I knew the Beatles too. So annoying.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 01/02/2022 18:40

What's outstanding?

Rogue1001MNer · 01/02/2022 18:41

Thank you guys for indulging me in my flurry.

10 points to all of you, cos I love you all.

50 extra points each to midge-mug and shiny for getting so many so quickly and knowing them all. You both made me well up and smile at the same time.
Bonus point to midge-mug, who's dad obviously had similar music taste.
Minus point to dexter for making me search out which song lyrics she was guessing.

Still outstanding:-

3
Well I don’t want no other love honey it’s just you I’m thinkin’ of
50s

12
And as life travels on
And things do go wrong
60s

15
You can tell her I had to see the world, or tell her that my ship set sail
You can say she'd better not wait for me, but don't tell her I'm in jail
Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail
60s

19
Well how was I to know there was a party going on?
50s

20
People tell me love's for fools
So, here I go, breaking all the rules
50s

24
Night is young and so am I
80s

31
To string her along's just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't
But what can I do, I'm lonely too
60s

33
Why Don't You Say Goodbye
Well There's A Light
And There's A Hope
Come Swing Me Baby
From This Here Rope
I Sold You A Lie
And Prayed That Maybe
Someday You'd Return It
60s
Please don’t refer to later cover (although I prefer it)

Do you want more lyrics?
