Me I’d like to think
that life is like a drink
and I’m hoping that it tastes like bourbon

You walked in and my heart discovered
that my life would never be the same
(90s)

Lionel Ritchie, you are my destiny

Welcome to the thread. And well done, that’s correct.

Feel free to add a few lines of lyrics if you like. We try to put the decade in brackets to help.

Honeyroar · 27/09/2023 22:23

I swear I’m keeping you satisfied
cos you’re the one for me
(80s, I think)

I don’t think this was guessed

Honeyroar · 28/09/2023 20:15

Honeyroar · 27/09/2023 22:32

So if I lose my patience
you must try to understand
(try to understand)
if I lose my patience
oh yeah
(90s)

Don’t think this was guessed either

Honeyroar · 28/09/2023 20:17

Honeyroar · 27/09/2023 22:51

And when I call you on the phone
she says you’re not there
but I know you’re home
(80s)

This hasn’t been guessed correctly yet.

This is Texas but not sure of the title. Something like You make me feel (yeah) or something like that!

Just catching up, late as usual!

Honeyroar · 29/09/2023 08:28

You can have that. It’s called Inner Smile.

Alltheusernamesaretakennow · 29/09/2023 10:19

A struck match faded like a nervous laugh
Beyond the halo of a naked bulb (80s)

Feel I know this one, thought it was Sylvia's Mother at first but obviously not!

Some more for the weekend. All are at least from the top 6.

1 So I left my home I'm really on my own at last (70s)

2 What a catalyst you turned out to be, loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea (70s)

3 They scrambled down the mountain shooting reclaimed all the bandits looted (80s)

4 That man took the stage, his towel was swingin' high (80s)

5 Try to cover the trail, try to head for the line (80s)

6 I dont want to two time you so this is the end for you and me (70s)

7 Quadraphonic sounds stereo desire (80s)

8 You've got your hip swinging out of bounds
And I like the way you do what you're doin' to me (70s)

9 Lips that promise fear the worst (90s)

10 In the twist of separation you excelled at being free (90s)

NeedToKnow101 · 29/09/2023 18:14

6 is Jilted John

NeedToKnow101 · 29/09/2023 18:25

I'm gonna do some weekend ones in a bit.. here's one for starters...

There's something
Deep inside of me
There's someone
Else I've got to be
90s

midgemadgemodge · 29/09/2023 18:27

8 is tiger feet by mud

midgemadgemodge · 29/09/2023 18:29

9 has the line trust into mistrust I think
It's going to bug me

It's the beautiful south but I can't recall the song past those lines

midgemadgemodge · 29/09/2023 18:30

It's the one where she has a little time to think things over and kicks him out when he wants to come back

midgemadgemodge · 29/09/2023 18:31

Need a little time ?

Rogue1001MNer · 29/09/2023 18:31

I hate to say this, but aside from jilted John, the only one that jumps out at Mr is

10 In the twist of separation you excelled at being free (90s)

Back for good by the godawful Take That 😳😳😳😳

Rogue1001MNer · 29/09/2023 18:32

You're right midge.

A little time
