Hmmm...

It's San Francisco Bay Blues - Eric Clapton

New Lyrics

"...You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
The treasure just to look upon it..."

Washed away a dream of you"

It's a golden oldie. I'm guessing Sam Cooke, and I think the title is Rhythm of the Pouring Rain.

Err, maybe not. Something doesn't connect on that guess.

Another line:

"...Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon..."

OK, now it's kicking in... Gloria, by Laura Branigan. Whew.

~~Deciding on a lyric, back soon~~

This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul

I Google-cheated on this one and still didn't know it...

Once I clicked play on YouTube is when it kicked in! LOL

OK, next lines:

To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything

That was Gerry Rafferty, "Baker Street"

Let's go in a slightly different (and more recent!) direction:

Welcome to the final show
Hope you're wearing your best clothes

Not only did I not recognize the lyrics, after searching against Google I didn't recognize the artist or song title. So I started playing it - still had no idea, sorry.

Which one, Baker Street or the new one?

The new one...I used to be so good with lyrics and movie quotes too.

*sigh*

Seems my C.R.S. is getting worse (Can't Remember S#%t)

LOL

Yeah, nobody got the 70s one, so I thought I'd try something that's actually on the radio right now. (It's a damn good album, BTW, surprisingly rewarding for repeat listens.)

Okaaaaay. Either this thread is dying, or I'm worse at this than I thought... that was Harry Styles' brand new single, "Sign of the Times".

I'm gonna throw the match now, and go weep quietly in a corner.

So the band has to be The Boom Town Rats based on the reference to The Wall, and "I Don't Like Monday's", right?

The only other song I know is Rat Trap but don't remember when it came out, or the lyrics...so shot in the dark here ???

Oy, that was a lame-a** guess on my part, so I say Helix gets another lyrics quote - go again!

Oh, goodness! This might be easier. I mean, it's something from the past 20 years.
