Apologies if I have missed anyone.

I am travelling to wild places in the van ?

The third one is Blur then?

It is indeed

But what song

Girls and Boys

Indeed

The New York one is Walk on the Wild Side, Lou Reed.

Feeling bad about not having posted many lyrics lately so I’ve put a theme together:

70s
Jaws was never my scene
And I don't like Star Wars

90s
Meet me in the crowd, people, people
Throw your love around, love me, love me

80s
She's a long lost love at first bite
Baby, maybe you're wrong
But you know it's all right, that's right

80s
Oh, from lips without passion to the lips with a kiss
There's nothing of your love that I'll ever miss

60s
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage

80s
What do you think
Can't take it all

80s
She wanted to take it further,
So she arranged a place to go

90s (this one doesn’t really fit with the theme - except in a rhyming capacity...)
Look around, everywhere you turn is heartache
It's everywhere that you go

Oops - missed one

80s
Step on a crack
Break your mama's back

80s
She wanted to take it further,
So she arranged a place to go

That's the Pina Colada song, Escape?

And this one

90s
Meet me in the crowd, people, people
Throw your love around, love me, love me

I can hear it but aaarrrghh!

The meet me in the crowd one is Shiny Happy People - REM, I think.

Thank ypu Honey! That was driving me bonkers 🤣

The look around one is Vogue - Madonna.

The Jaws one is Queen. The bicycle race one.

Is the theme our very own Rogue?

Or . . .

If I've got Pina Colada wrong -

Shiny happy people & Vogue rhymes with Rogue - it's us?

Who’s the bicycle race??🤔🤣

Honey, not casting any aspertions 😁. Maybe reference to the race to the top of wobbling heights? I'm probably wrong!

You are sounding very much on Midge’s wavelength in my head, anyway! (sorry Midge 😘)

Yes Coffee, the theme is us 👏👏👏

Here’s another one I was really struggling to come up with something for. It’s just come to me but I’ve had to cheat a bit with the date - it’s from 2007:

Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more

So yes to Shiny Happy People
V(R)ogue
Bicycle Race
No to the Pina Colada song though.

Night, night 🥰

She wanted to take it further - Babooshka Kate Bush

I wake up nights and call her name is Honey Bobby Goldsboro

What do you think can't take it all is

Need you tonight INXS

And as a guess

Lips without passion etc

Is this black coffee in bed by Squeeze ?

Dude looks like a lady Aerosmith

For Long lost love at first bite

And correct to walk on the wild side

And morning all
