Still in the 80s

Touching the very part of me, it's making my soul sing
Tearing the very heart of me, I'm crying out for more

Your love is king - Sade 😎

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/01/2021 21:51

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
1980

Where's midge? panics is she off in a lab somewhere creating an inferior spreadsheet?

We might have to have a spreadsheet-off

We need a deep learning model to predict who rogue will target next so we can put in protection

And a simple text analyser to pick up the misspellings

FlouncingBabooshka · 19/01/2021 22:13

And that one’s Rock the Casbah, the Clash Coffee.

You lost them with your geek-speak, midge wipes brow. They are simple folk
Honeyroar · 19/01/2021 22:21

Oh Midge you don’t need a text analysis to pick up the misspelling- just follow me around!

Correct @shinynewapple2021 for the other Latin Matthew White song.

'You lost them with your geek-speak, midge wipes brow. They are simple folk'

Watch yourself Rogue... you might just push us too far.. especially me off the top of that bloody ladder. (Said in a Michael Caine voice).

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/01/2021 22:26

Correct @FlouncingBabooshka to Rock the Casbah👍😊

Oh I need all the help I can get with spelling I would never spot the errors myself

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/01/2021 22:32

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels

Well, we're having a ball just 'a bopping on the big dance floor
Well, there's a real square cat, he looks a 1974
Well, he looked at me once, he looked at me twice
Look at me again and there's gonna be fight
80s

Passion or coincidence
What’s prompted you to stay?

MNerGoneRogue · 19/01/2021 22:58

I know that I know every outstanding lyric. But can't identify one. Bed time, I think.

Midge worryingly quiet

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/01/2021 23:07

Night Rogue, sleep tight 😴

That’s the Stray Cats isn’t it? Not sure but I think it’s called Rock this Town.
