Sounds of the Seventies

[Rob_the_Saint]

OK, Colin, just for you, a seventies lyrics quiz.

 

1. "Think of me, babe whenever... some sweet talkin' girl comes along, singing a song."

2. "I need a drink and a quick decision."

3. "When I look back on all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all."

4. "Some people choose the city, some others choose the good ol' family home"

5. "My buddy's Jim Bass he's a working pumping gas and he makes $2.50 for an hour."

6. "Something happened along the way and yesterday was all we had."

7. "My woman takes me higher. My woman keeps me warm."

8. "All of your brothers over in Africa tell all the folks in Egypt and Israel too."

9. "I laughed at all of your jokes. My love you didn't need to coax."

10. "If I could, baby I'd give you my world. How can I, when you won't take it from me?"

11. "Underneath the covers, the answer lies."

12. "Then my only worry was for Christmas what would be my toy."

13. "I never knew there was so much love keeping me warm night and day."

14. "My motto's always been 'When it's right, it's right', why wait until the middle of a cold, dark night?"

15. "Now how could I ever refuse? I feel like I win when I lose!!"

16. "Darling, you'll always be the only one for me -- heaven made you specially."

17. "I'd rather be a fool with a broken heart than someone who's never had a part of you."

18. "All that pressure got you down. Has your head spinning all around."

19. "I want to make you understand I'm talking about a lifetime plan."

20. "We got a thing goin' on."

 

Enjoy...

It would be unfair of me to answer any more, Rob, as I unwittingly stumpled upon the webpage with all these questions/answers on. There's another 191 on there too!

 

Bizarre, huh!!

[Laz]

It's not difficult is is Zealster?

16 was also by the formention artists but, apologies Rob, I got the wrong year.
