@Fleamaker123

Yes it was Sally Oldfield come to think of it.

My phone is playing up too... my posts are disappearing then reappearing 5 minutes later

No @Fleamaker123 - you were right, I checked and it was Mike not Sally. I must have imagined a female singer...sorry!

I’m not bothered Flouncer. I’m looking forward to a bit of time at home!

Iggi999 · 03/11/2020 22:48

Flouncing, it was a female singer for moonlight shadow, but was "by" Mike

Having another attempt at posting my lyrics for US election night for anyone who’s still up. I originally had American Idiot but the post was lost and now it’s been posted anyway so I’m afraid it’s a bit of a thin selection...

90s
Xxxx sat alone in a boggy marsh
Totally emotionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into xxxx’s pyjamas
She totally confused all the passing piranhas

60s
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice

60s
Let the winds blow high,
Let the winds blow low,
Down the street in my kilt I go
And all the ladies say hello

60s
I'm going way down south
Way down to Mexico way
Alright
I'm going way down south
Way down where I can be free
There's no one going to find me

Only rather vague connections to the theme btw, apart from the first one - but the connection there is in the name of the group, not the song...

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/11/2020 23:20

60s Donald where's your trousers

I think your second one's The Beatles . Is it Nowhere Man ?

FlouncingBabooshka · 03/11/2020 23:55

Right group but wrong song @shinynewapple2020.

midgebabe · 04/11/2020 07:08

@midgebabe

I hope it doesn't come to this

"Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had "

1980's

This seems to have been forgotten, I think flea might like a go?
Fleamaker123 · 04/11/2020 08:08
