She's got one in the oven
But it's nothing to do with me
She’s Electric

You made no preparation
For my reputation once again

Don't ever be denied
Roll With It

Oasis – What’s the Story Morning Glory

As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout

Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Everybody Wants to Rule the World

My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand

Tears for Fears – Songs from the Big Chair
80s

All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
High and Dry

He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

You've changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door

All the songs got, but no one know the name of this classic album?*

Parallel Lines?

Thank you for the new thread, Coffee. Gorgeous dog pic in the last thread. (I kept away so I didn't get drunk and dreadfully misbehave again!). BUT, you are obviously a cruel dog owner... That poor pooch CLEARLY needs a bigger chair. You are neglectful not to provide one!

If you're not SUPER nice to me on this thread, I'm going to dob you in on The Doghouse boards. They're an unforgiving lot!

My dearest Shelf, I am always super nice to you and your threats are meaningless.
I will point out that my dear dog is choosing to curl up on this large (yes really) recliner. He is a stubborn so and so who will sit where he pleases whether he fits or not 🤣.

Evening all!
Here are a few from me. There is a theme, but I’ll give it you - it’s about Covid times/this different NYE!

And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
(80s)

Shadows blowin as the roses bloom
Looking down on a wonderland
(80s I think!)

I know when to go out And when to stay in (80s)
Honeyroar · 31/12/2020 19:31

Temptation. Frustration
So bad it makes him cry
(80s)

You don’t know how long I’ve waited
And I was gonna tell you tonight

Shake it up
All that we know
Using the bodies as we go
I’m waking up to a fantasy
(80s)

Honeyroar · 31/12/2020 19:34

Monkey see. Monkey do.
I don’t know why
Rather be dead than cool
I don’t know why
(80s)

If I looked all over the world
And there’s every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
(80s)

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They’re gone forever
(dunno when! 70s?60s?)

Fleamaker123 · 31/12/2020 19:35

I know when to go out
And when to stay in
(80s)

David Bowie, Modern Love?

Fleamaker123 · 31/12/2020 19:36

Shake it up
All that we know
Using the bodies as we go
I’m waking up to a fantasy
(80s)

Hall & Oates, Out of touch 😍

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 31/12/2020 19:41

Correct to parallel lines.
No points as it took you ages

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 31/12/2020 19:42

Correct. So can you name the two outstanding songs???
Honeyroar · 31/12/2020 19:42

Arms entwined the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it’s true it’s true
(80s)

It’s the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
It’s the time for us to say
(80s? Perhaps 70s)

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT (IF YOU CAN!). THANKS FOR YOUR COMPANY THIS YEAR ON THESE THREADS. WISHING YOU ALL A WONDERFUL YEAR NEXT YEAR. LETS HOPE ITS BETTER. CHEERS TO YOU ALL AND LONG MAY THESE THREADS CONTINUE.
LOTS OF LOVE. Honeyroar
