Post a few lyrics of a song from 70s, 80s, 90s with the decade & we will try to guess the song & artist.

Whhaaatttt??!!

Just seen the news. Another loss 🥲

So incredibly sad. Loved him and his music.

Happy New Year everyone 🥳

Hope we all have a prosperous 2023 😊

Keep posting!

Happy New Year to you all too! Hope you all had a lovely festive season.
I've been quite lazy, need to post some lyrics!

Happy new year all. I need to post some too. I keep losing the thread (on here and in life!).

Here’s one for starters….

Old men in stripey trousers
rule the world with plastic smiles
(80s)

Nik Kershaw
I won't let the sun go down on me

(I'm new ..just found this thread..bloody brilliant thanks )

There was a man and he lived on his own
He had no-one to talk to

correct for NK.✅

Is yours Baker Street?

Welcome to the thread. Sometimes we’re a bit quiet, but it seems to come back to life when someone posts lyrics!

Nope ..sorry

Nope ...sorry

Got me there, @Howlongwillthistake

Not a clue! (Well, obviously one clue, but no more of my own!)

What decade is it?

@Howlong this sounds familiar, but I can't work out what decade. Is it 80's?

Adding one of my own

We've got a free pair of flares
With every hip replacement
Just take the stairs to the bargain basement

(Early 90s)

It's 80's
How many clues can I give??

@Howlongwillthistake Welcome to the thread 🖐

You can give us the next line of lyrics 😊

We generally try to put the decade on each time too.

As Coffee says, we add more lines if people are struggling, and if loads of people can’t get it sometimes we give clues like it’s an indie band, or sole female etc.

Gimmiebiscuit’s rings a Nell but I can’t get it. It feels like it’s something indie.

No more broken hearts
we’re better off apart
lets give it a try
(80s)

he walks on
doesn’t look back
he pretends he can’t see her
(90s, I think)

No more broken hearts
we’re better off apart
lets give it a try
(80s)

Little Lies
Fleetwood Mac

@Honeyroar your second one is by Phil Collins- Another day in paradise. Someone else did it as well!

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was me. I repeat myself a lot!
