Well, the biggest difference is that white people aren't still suffering the effects of some of them being slaves in the Roman empire, or in ancient Greece and so on.

Ok final guess @ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Don’t you tell me no is Cars (Not yazoo 😜)

It's my party, you can come
Don't tell me no

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies.

Friend of a friend - met at a party.

It was quite funny/embarrassing.

Me: Oh, Green you say? Like Green Gartside from Scritti Politti?

Him: Er, yes.

Me (after about another ten minutes): Ahhh! You’re Green Gartside! Blush

@ItsLateHumpty

And ooo *@ProseccoBubbleFantasies* I left a mini clue in my last asking a question with a hint maybe .... reposting

“Don’t you tell me no, but it’s my party?“

Im so sorry, Humpty I didn't realise that was to me (because it's wrong).

Sorry. Have another guess

secretmeetingsundertrees · 13/06/2020 17:34

for the 'ride the tiger' one i just hear frank black screaming that phrase on pixies river euphrates, but don't think the rest fits from memory...

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 13/06/2020 17:37

Babooshka that's amazing and super-cool. I'm impressed!!! I'd of been like ".... oh, he was soooooo pretty". But then, I have a very unfortunate gob!

And sorry, I hadn't realized we'd gone on to another page.
Yes. ssd got it. It's respect by erasure. Great track!

I just sang ride a white swan in my head, which couldn't have been more wrong!

😂 Presecco - now you’ve said that I’m just amazed I didn’t come out with that gem.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 13/06/2020 17:46

Sorry - Prosecco!

ItsLateHumpty · 13/06/2020 17:51

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Baby, it's okay

@ItsLateHumpty Bjork, so quiet?

ItsLateHumpty · 13/06/2020 18:25

Dialling it down to slow songs with maybe snogs.....

“And she said, "I have swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 18:29

Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

ItsLateHumpty · 13/06/2020 18:30

Shhhh was accidental but luff you

“Bjork“ should eat a cookie or 3 😂

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/06/2020 18:33
