Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal

And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel

80s

Get away one is Altered Images - I could be happy.

Hmm what else goes beep beep? Carwash, but that’s 70s too. Madness? Driving in my car? Rush hour - Jane Russell?

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Do you mean girls ON film?

No, sirry

Do you mean wrong? Grin

Anyway Girls on film would be:
beep beep beep
Beep beep beep

Extra beeps innit.

Honeyroar · 18/08/2020 22:52

Yes the french one is late 70s but it’s not the french punk

VictoriousSockPuppet · 18/08/2020 22:52

The beep-beeps are NOT car related.

Cackles maniacally.

I think I have achieved devilishly difficult.

I hope coffee has a category for that!

Is this anyone's cup of tea?:

There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me
As sure as God made wine, you can't wrap your arms
Around a memory

Honeyroar · 18/08/2020 22:54

I think that’s your next namechange magically appeared- devilishly difficult!

SimplySteveRedux · 18/08/2020 22:54

I'll put it on ice. Currently enjoying annoying you all with this name too much to change it quite yet.

Well they're not technically beeps I suppose, but the basically the intro.
