Paul, this is on my iPod playlist, although it took me a few minutes to pin it down. Don't you forget about me ( Simple Minds

Nice one Jill - you’re up

oops, sorry not been around for a while. Glad you took the 1st half of the Clash's question Peter!

Thank you Paul.

I decided to pick the first tune that came up on my iPod shuffle ... Aldous Harding with Horizon. Scrap that one then.

After flitting around YouTube, this is a cover version of a song which I think is a far, far better rendition than the original.

You don't know, you don't know what it's like

My initial guess is To Love Somebody by the BeeGees but I am not so sure now

Paul, your first guess was correct.

The cover version was by Keith Urban.

Over to you.

Nice easy one now :

There is nothing safe in this world"

Thanks, Paul! Sorry, been away from the forum a few days... Here's one to ponder:

"She didn't see me creep"

You're going to kick yourselves...

"She didn't see me creep,
Down the stairs to have a peep"

And Ann would be quite correct!

Ron, Ann

directed me to put up the next song. I told her I was thinking about this one, but it does not seem to have been on the UK charts. She said "so what, it is a great song!"

So,

, here goes:

"Like a rhyme with no reason
In an unfinished song"

That's giving me a very John Denver'ish vibe...

This singer died much more recently. He did, apparently, originally think this song was too saccharine.

Post by **Peter_S** » Sun Dec 19, 2021 12:31 am

A bit more, just because it is nice!

"Like a rhyme with no reason
In an unfinished song
There was no harmony, life meant nothin' to me until you came along"

No comment, other than it was You Decorated My Life by Kenny Rogers.

How about some seasonal lyrics from a song that was Number 1 just about everywhere (including South Africa!)?

"No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring"

Now I am starting to wonder ...

Should I threaten again to leave?

Peter, is this a song by Stevie Wonder?

Mmmm ... As there are only two days to go before Christmas ... I think that you are Father Christmas and I claim my £5.00.

Peter, a Happy Noel and Hope Filled New Year to you and Ann.

Jill, a Happy Noel, a much better New Year, and any other holidays you would like to include, to you and Richard.

Stevie Wonder is correct; now the title?

I do not know why you just called me Father Christmas

but I am going to say I would love to be able to give you 5lbs.

Been rattling this round my head and can get several lines - but the only title I can come up with is: I just called to say I love you...?
