If I may try one, anyone recognise the line

"Watch while the Queen in one false move, turns herself into a pawn"

May be a bit obscure, but it's from one of my favourite artists.

Is it James@ConcernedSchoolStaff ? Can’t think of the title if it is ..

Is it Star by James ?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/05/2022 21:50

All correct, although the version I listed was the 70s version by The Spinners.

Well done Carnage & Honey 👍😊

Another one to @Honeyroar

Only number 3 to guess

@IanOsenfrote don't think this has been guessed still?

I think it's come on Eileen -

'Poor old Johnny Ray ... etc'

Well done to @shinynewapple22 and @Gingerwarthog

I thought I was going to have to add it to the next 10 I am preparing.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 26/05/2022 13:25

👍🏼 Carbage got the second one!

Anyone have a go at the first?

shinynewapple22 · 26/05/2022 15:07

Are you off on your holidays @CarnageAtTheAirport or is it just an observation?

Sorry I am very nosy Grin

Afraid it's not James, though I like them a lot, they are amazing live. This one is 1985 if that helps.

Nosy is fine by me @shinynewapple22😂, bit of both really. Going away in August, just hoping they will have employed more check in/baggage staff at the airport by then 😂

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/06/2022 14:44

Afternoon all

Hope you are having a fab weekend 😊

They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

And the last known survivor

Tried to find my mountain hideaway

Don't dream it's over.
Mike and the mechanics???

Survivor - eye of the tiger.

That was good timing!

Rogue1001MNer · 05/06/2022 14:48

Duran duran. Is there something I should know

I'll put some up in a bit

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/06/2022 14:48

Well there's a great amount of strain
About getting on that train

Almost Rogue. Not Mike & the mechanics.
The others correct.

Not sure what no 4 is either.

I've turned the computer on in preparation for a flurry....

Well there's a girl that lives up the block
Back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
