Abba - The Winner Takes it All


Is there only me and you playing this now Kaph? :spin2:

Anyone remember Rosie Ribbons' 'interpretation' of this song on Pop Idol 1. :hugesmile:

Correct LEE!!

Post up the next lyric and we'll see if anyone else joins in :spin2:

OK Kaph, here goes :thumbs:



How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
Who gets to say, who gets the work and gets to play?
I was always told at school, everybody should get the same
How many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get?
How many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't bet?

I've had a go at some of these I'll have you know.

Will put my thinking cap on and see if I can put a title to these lyrics.

Here's a clue - this band are currently supporting UB40 on their UK tour and a friend of mine went to see them last Thursday and said both bands were brill.

God you lot are hopeless :hugesmile: Janette has asked for another clue, so here it is.

This song wasn't very punk really and it was from a damn good album which people might think was Australian from the title - they'd be wrong though.

It's always the sun.....................

The Stranglers???:hugesmile:

At last :hugesmile:

Your turn ROB :spin2:

Wow this thread has been really quiet while I was gone. Glad you've stepped in ROB! Looking forward to your next lyric, they're always though-provoking.

:xyxwave:

Haven't forgotten about this have you, ROB? :thumbs: Can't disappoint Kaphc - she's SO looking forward to the next lyrics. :laugh:

Hows about making it an easier one for those of us (OK then, me!!!) who are less good (i.e. rubbish!!) at this game! :spin2:

Sorry, bit pre-occupied! Only reason I am on now is that I should be studying, LOL!

Here is an easy one - I hope.

What I'd give to run my fingers thru your hair
Touch your lips, to hold you near,
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

Always - Bon Jovi :hugesmile:

Well done Lee! Now whose favourite song of all time was that I wonder:conf::conf: :laugh:

Over to you Lee

Hi ROB, no it wasn't my favourite song of all time, but I still remember it well :hugesmile:

This isn't my fave of all time either, but it is one that I seem to be hearing an awful lot of at the moment. :spin2:


I refuse to give in to my blues
That's not how it's going to be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don't want to let you see,
That you have made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself

King Of Wishful Thinking by Go West


:hugesmile:

Quite right Janette :thumbs:

Your turn :hugesmile:

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Concentration slips away
Cos your baby is so far away

:thumbs:

Love the One your With - Stephen Stills, of Crosby Stills and Nash fame :thumbs:

Well you're right but it wasn't the version I was thinking of..............

:thumbs:

Well that was the original, I suppose there have been quite a few covers, but can't think of any specific ones at the mo. :spin2:

This song would def be in my all time top three favourite songs, its not terribly well known though, so lets see if any of you have good taste enough to know it :hugesmile:


I pictured a rainbow
you held in your hands
I had flashes
but you saw then plan
I wondered out in the world for years
while you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
you saw .......................

....The Whole Of The Moon


Good song!


:thumbs:

Correct Janette. but who's it by?

The Waterboys & Mike Scott

Your turn again. :spin2:
