@anotherhat

Started a thread on this but it petered out because I think rules weren't established. But it's such a good idea I don't want it to die. So let's try again.

The Rules:

  1. NO USING SEARCH ENGINES
  1. Before posting your own lyric your answer must be confirmed as corect by the poster of the lyric.
  1. If you have posted a lyric please look at the thread often so you can say yes or no to guesses.
  1. The poster of a lyric can give clues at any time.
  1. If their are no responses to a lyric within 24 hours it is open to anyone to post a lyric.
  1. NO SEARCH ENGINES.

To start, let's use @anotherhat original post.

"You'll hear my voice,
'Cross the wind, 'Cross the Sand,
If you should return...."

Sorry if it wasn't clear.

You are supposed to guess the original artist from the lyrics, but see the rules.

Legend of Xanadu by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch

My turn

In the morning
When the moon is at its rest
You will see me
At the time I love the best...

Nope Smile

BoreOfWhabylon · 24/03/2023 03:33

OMG! I didn't wait for my answer to be confirmed as correct. Sorry @VeniVidiWeeWee and @anotherhat Blush

(I know I'm right though - I saw them live in Weston-Super- Mare [grin)

Colours.... Donovan

@TarasHarp55
'fraid not

Clue: it was written by a BeeGee and recorded by several people but the most successful version in UK in the 60s was by an Israeli couple.

But it was Donovan who wrote that song..... Yellow is the colour of my true loves hair 🎶🎶🎶 I'm sure I'm right. 🙂

TarasHarp55 · 24/03/2023 13:05

Sorry I'm wrong, it's In The Morning isn't it? , quite similar lyrics. 😊

Ofcourseshecan · 24/03/2023 13:08

Damn, I got Xanadu instantly (though not the artist). Flying start, but now I’m stuck.

BoreOfWhabylon · 24/03/2023 13:21

@TarasHarp55 yes! The version that was the hit was called "Morning of my life" but it's the same song. Esther and Abi Ofarim.

Your turn Smile

I thought this was going to be a thread about dodgy 60s song lyrics, line Young Girl. I'm not very good at identifying songs from just lyrics without the tune..

BoreOfWhabylon · 24/03/2023 17:33

It's amazing what stays lodged in the memory for more than 50 years!

BoreOfWhabylon · 24/03/2023 17:34

Still waiting for @TarasHarp55 to post some new lyrics and for @VeniVidiWeeWee to confirm we are doing this right
