@Honeyroar

Passion or coincidence What’s prompted you to stay?
Pride will tear us both apart.

I love this song. Ordinary world. Duran duran.

I hope you pulled an all nighter at your day (???) job, midge and not for any other reason

(I mean, obvs if you were surfing for porn or mning or something, that's different. Let's just say I hope you weren't working on an excel document)

MNerGoneRogue · 20/01/2021 08:47

I have to start making calls in a bit, but just say - hope things aren't too wet for honey and all of you?
The news this morning was all trump, so I assume nothing too bad last night?

Keep dry n safe.

And if you have to evacuate, grab your records and cassette tapes before you go ! 🚣‍♂️

midgebabe · 20/01/2021 09:09

Wasn't working on any ( coughs repulsed ) excel thing , just an exciting new database

Honeyroar · 20/01/2021 09:26

Hot sticky scenes
You know what I mean
(80s)

Tonight for the first time
Just about half past ten
(80s(

You said you didn’t need me in your life
Oh I guess you were right yeah
Ooh I never meant to cause you no pain
But it looks like I did it again
(80s)

Yes we’re miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesn’t have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane
(80s, album track Duran Duran)

shinynewapple2021 · 20/01/2021 09:50

Morning 🙂

Your second one is Raining Men from the weather girls Honey

Are they all storm related ?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/01/2021 11:12

Morning Peeps

Correct @FlouncingBabooshka 👍😊

OP posts:
Honeyroar · 20/01/2021 11:17

Correct for weather girls. Not quite storm...

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/01/2021 11:18

Wish I'd foind this one the other day . . .

There were times when I could
Have murdered her
But you know, I would hate
Anything to happen to her
80s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/01/2021 11:25

@Honeyroar is it Rain related?

OP posts:
MNerGoneRogue · 20/01/2021 12:27

Honey's top one is here comes the rain by the cult

Honeyroar · 20/01/2021 12:50

Yes Coffee it’s rain related .

And yes correct with the Cult.

That’s Girlfriend in a Coma by the Smiths Coffee.

I posted it the other day in my little selection for poor H after falling from Wobbling Heights but nobody guessed it 😂

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/01/2021 13:33

@FlouncingBabooshka well done! Sorry, didn't realise 😁

Evening ladies...

"I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life"

90s...

Nice to see you back WhipperSnapperSteve 😊

WhipperSnapperSteve · 20/01/2021 18:39

Yes, Flea, and thanks. Still waiting on biopsies but just dragging myself out of the mire from the worry Smile

Honeyroar · 20/01/2021 19:13

@Honeyroar

This ones for the rogue smurf (who has been using my spellcheck tonight, I think)

Time has gone since I’ve been with you
And we’ve been starting to die
Now it seems you don’t care for me
And I don’t understand why
(80s)

This is still up for guesses

And the bottom two of these rain themed ones are still up for grabs.

The Cult - Rain

Your Duran Duran one is Hold Back The Rain?

No idea on your other owing, sorry!

MNerGoneRogue · 20/01/2021 19:23

Evening all. My brain might be too fried for lyrics as had a bit of a day. *

Just wanted to check in on everyone. All ok? No one flooded out? Everyone's pets etc ok?
Not too bad where I live
Is wobbling heights ok? Or do we need some type of tarp? Are the feet sinking? Is h from steps ok?
I wish honey would hurry up with her bacon butties, soup and baked goods. We could use them on a night like tonight.

  • (Although your penultimate one reads a bit like oops I did it again, honey. But I think that's wrong. The lone is just a bit similar is all)
MNerGoneRogue · 20/01/2021 19:25

Oh, Honey's one for me is it's much too late for goodbye. Can't remember who sang it. Bloke. Kind-of falsetto??? Not falsetto, but odd voice somehow

Why was that for me???
