Question
Hi, I'm doing a music quiz and need to know the 70's song which begins "don't start the talking I could talk all night" and maybe the one which starts "I talk to my baby on the telephone long distance" and if its not too much to ask the one which starts "Out on the widey windy moors we'd roll and fall in grief". Just one more - last one I promise - the one which starts "I used to think life was sweet I used to think we were so complete"

I know I'm a pain but thank you so much!

Answer
Hiya Mandy,

Where's the music quiz?

Song 1 is Elvis Costello "Oliver's Army." (not even a hit in the U.S.)

Song 2:  don't know.  Elmore James "Talk To My Baby" starts with "Talk to my baby on the telephone."  That's the closest one I could come up with.

Song 3:  Likely "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush.  Lyrics are not exact but the same line.

Song 4 is a long time fave of mine:  Cliff Richard "We Don't Talk Anymmore."

Thanks for asking, good luck in the quiz and happy new year!

Dave
