Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck
1987

Al Stewart for Year of the Cat, and there's also a great version by Psapp.

Honeyroar · 30/11/2020 20:25

Wire in a fire is REM’s End of the world as we know it.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 30/11/2020 20:28

Correct with Year of the Cat and The Lion Sleeps tonight

Theme ?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 30/11/2020 23:05

My friends wonder why I call you all the time
What can I say
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away

You think maybe I need help
Though I know I'm right, alright
I'm just better off now than listening to friend's advice

1980s

The plays hard to get one is Kraftwerk’s The Model, I think, but I thought it was 80s.

Honeyroar · 30/11/2020 23:18

It’s such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
90s
(Only giving two lines as it’s easy)

That's Friday I'm in love by The Cure

Honeyroar · 01/12/2020 12:28

Gosh I thought I remembered Kraftwerk at secondary school, it’s older than I thought.

Yes @Bluesheep8 it was The Cure.

Hello @FlouncingBabooshka where ya been? 👋🏼❤️😘
Honeyroar · 01/12/2020 19:26

Hey! Get back ere with your mulled wine Mrs Babooshka!

How are you and your husband doing? I’ve got to nip out but will hopefully be back later.x

FlouncingBabooshka · 01/12/2020 19:38

Hello @NeedToKnow101and @Honeyroar.

Sorry, I’ve had rather a lot of the mulled wine (hic). I might be able to find another bottle...

In an effort to sound windswept and interesting I could try to make up something about where I’ve been NeedtoKnow, but the truth is I’ve just been here battling with loss adjusters and arsey contractors and we still don’t have a floor and the house in still in utter chaos and I’m jolly bloomin’ fed up to the back teeth with it all and it’s sort of made me a bit incapable of even having the brain space to do this.

But, but, but - I have decided to snap out of it and come back into the fold. No hope of catching up - though a brief skim of the thread tells me there’s been a (presumptive) name change and a highly entertaining power struggle.

I’m working on a little theme so will be back later to delight and entertain...

@FlouncingBabooshka oh dear oh dear.

Our neighbor once lost his floor due to car acid battery leak

@shinynewapple2020

Yip Please more hints, I am hearing nothing useful fro any of yours

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 01/12/2020 19:53

Hey FlouncingB.

So sorry you're still living in chaos. That's awful. As if this year wasn't already shit enough!
