13-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
The good things in your past
1970s

Stevie Wonder, superstition

Dexterwontstopfarting · 31/10/2023 20:41

I set my sights on you
(And no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're havin' fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
1980s

You Sound Me Round, King

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you
Is the nature of my game
1960s

symphony for the Devil

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are crying
1990s

Zombie, The Cranberries

Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
80s

Thriller, Michael Jackson

She'll only come out at night
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new
I've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
Ooh, she's sitting with you, but her eyes are on the door
80s

Man eater, Hall & Oates

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time

You're all I ever wanted but I'm terrified of you.

I left alone my mind was blank.

If you could only see the beast you've made of me

You better stop the things you do.

From my heart and from my hand

(Also a film title, almost cult following)

What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me?

Do you think I'm frightening? Organ chords & lightening

  1. Baby can't you see I'm calling? A guy like you should wear a warning.

(Amazed this one not guessed yet)

Few more.

Will list all still outstanding tomorrow.

A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
