No it's not that Paul. Here are the first two lines:

If the world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape

Shakespear's Sister - Stay (or Stay with Me)..

That is correct Plummy, over to you.

Oh love me tender
Baby, don't be cruel
Return to sender
Treat me like a fool

Clue time - not Elvis!
British band - no longer together. The lyrics are a slight clue to the title though...

I had kinda figured it wasn't Elvis, unless he'd developed a really bad stammer! But it's clearly some kind of tribute to him. Not one I'm familiar with, I'm afraid.

More clues.
1991

You probably don’t need me to tell you that you are right

Your go Sheena

Thanks Paul, here's the next one:

All my water colors fade to black

Post by **Sheena** » Wed May 02, 2018 8:38 am

I think another line might be needed.
All my water colors fade to black
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm ten steps back

Sheena, I'm experiencing some feeble stirrings of the little grey cells.

Is this something by Annie Lennox?

Post by **Sheena** » Fri May 04, 2018 7:33 am

That’s right Jill. As for the title you’d better watch you don’t fall down one of these

Thank you Sheena.

Despite your hint though, I'm stuck again on this one.

Mmmm ...

Although very topical at the moment, and we have plenty of them in our village, Falling Down a Pothole doesn't ring any bells.

Jill · Post by **Jill** » Sun May 06, 2018 7:21 am

Sheena, is it Cracks in The Pavement?

Post by **Sheena** » Sun May 06, 2018 8:07 am

Yes that’s near enough Jill, you’ve got the right words in there ‘Pavement Cracks’
Thanks for sticking with it. Your turn

Thank you Sheena - as result of trying to nail that one down, there are now cracks in my brain.

Let's see if I can cause a few brain cracks with this one.

Fairlane cruiser coming up on the left hand side.

the "left hand side" immediately made me think Radar Love until I thought that can't be right and stepped back and I'm now thinking 2,4,6,8, Motorway - Tom Robinson
