Aww like Dave! My neighbour has two schnauzers.

Here’s a festive pet photo. TinkerStinker who has fallen in love with our new reindeer. Goes to sniff it every day. (actually it was made by the lady with the schnauzers so perhaps it smells of them!)

And this is RockinRobbie, who was mentioned on our party night. Also going for the Christmas vibe!

Right, lyrics...

You can keep me at a distance
If you don’t trust my resistance

Don’t come knocking at my door
I don’t wanna see your face no more
Coloured lights can hypnotise
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
(90s)

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 20:40

I can turn and walk away
Or I can fire the gun
(80s)

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 20:41

And watching lovers part
I see you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your heart
(80s)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! I've been in the building where Rasputin was killed.

The above is American Woman by The Guess Who.

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 20:42

If only I’d thought of the right words
I could’ve held onto your heart

Depeche Mode

All I want to do is see you

NeedToKnow101 · 27/12/2020 20:52

There's no need to worry
I'm gonna give you love
The way you want it to be

I'll be there every morning, baby
To hold you tight
And that's why, baby
You don't have to wonder why
80s

Fleamaker123 · 27/12/2020 20:53

Gorgeous pet pics 😍
Your cat looks like he's kissing the reindeer Honeyroar!

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 20:55

Yes to The Cure (not Phil Collins)
Yes to Depeche Mode.
Yes to American woman, but wrong artist. 90s

Fleamaker123 · 27/12/2020 20:55

No one got this one from a few pages back, think it got lost in the madness.. I'm sure one of you will get it though

When all I want to be is
Completely in command
80's

NeedToKnow101 · 27/12/2020 20:57

I always post this song but I love it so much..

I can't see much of the future
Unless we find out what's to blame, what a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same
70s

I remember you posted that Flea, but I couldn’t get it.

Ever fallen in love - Buzzcocks
Yeah...! 😘
Fleamaker123 · 27/12/2020 21:04

Here's a bit more...

You don't give me love
You give me cold hands
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 21:07

Pale shelter? Tears for Fears?

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 21:09

SCREAMS!

Pale shelter? Tears for Fears?
Yes! 👍
Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 21:15

‘‘Twas the cold hands that gave it away. Good tune, as is Buzzcocks.
