So it's all your fault, Babooshka!

Honey, your cool is restored. That's the cure. Fire in Cairo

babooshka I don't think this is your song, but all I can sing is ain't not doubt

Honeyroar · 12/06/2020 22:10

&Prosecco yes! Definitely one of my top three Cure songs.

Split Endz - I Got You. Love that song. Saw Neil and Tim Finn in concert some years ago. They are brilliant and Neil Finn is an amazing songwriter.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 12/06/2020 22:18

@wowfudge - well done - you’re always so quick.

I love that song too - and also saw Neil and Tim Finn in concert. Yes, Neil Finn really is an amazing songwriter. I regret not having seen Crowded House live.

Let's hear it for the boy?

TheWitchCirce · 12/06/2020 22:20

Oops! Ignore me

wowfudge · 12/06/2020 22:29

Babooshka - completely agree. Woodface was the soundtrack to a significant part of my life. There are so many other great songs too. Where did you see the Finn Brothers?

wowfudge · 12/06/2020 22:41

Right - two of my favourite bands:

  1. Cause I look
In the mirror And it throws Back the question
  1. How do you feel
I'm lonely What do you think Can't take it all
Honeyroar · 12/06/2020 22:58

@wowfudge second one is INXS Need You Tonight (love it!)

First one rings a bell too, but the INXS one was louder! Saw them at a free concert in a square in Paris while I was an au pair and they were just awesome. I thought he was the most sexy man ever.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly I'm sure I saw something about an upcoming Crowded House tour

wowfudge · 12/06/2020 23:09

I want tickets to see Crowded House - just been watching them on YouTube at Sydney Opera House and having a cry. Don't Dream it's Over is one of my Desert Island Discs.

Iggi999 · 12/06/2020 23:10

Wowfudge - one more line please!

wowfudge · 12/06/2020 23:11

@Honeyroar - yes, absolutely. He wasn't the best looking, but so sexy. I used to have Kick Flick on video.

wowfudge · 12/06/2020 23:12

Okay @Iggi999

And I whisper in words

Iggi999 · 12/06/2020 23:13

Don't use your army to fight a losing battle
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need

Iggi999 · 12/06/2020 23:13

Deacon Blue!

wowfudge · 12/06/2020 23:15

Yes Iggi

Yours is Joan Armatrading - Drop the Pilot

Iggi999 · 12/06/2020 23:16

It is indeed.
Fergus sings the blues - took longer for the song Smile

wowfudge · 12/06/2020 23:17

@shinynewapple2020 thank you for the CH tip. Found details of next year's tour.

Honeyroar · 12/06/2020 23:21

Ah yes Deacon Blue.

Modern medicine falls short of your complaint
Ooh, try a little harder
You're moving in circles, won't you dilate?
Ooh, baby try

I don't think anyone got this on the last thread - apologies if they did....

Where words cascade like rainbows
Tumbling from the sky
Then I'll be there, I'll be there
