Can I just say how lovely it is to have willow back.

Willow, would you like a slot on the coolness ladder?

Honeyroar · 02/02/2021 22:42

Willow has too much sense! Can I come on the broomstick? We’d be like Meg and Mog!

By the way @CoffeeBeansGalore have you got your paper clip back?

By the way @CoffeeBeansGalore have you got your paper clip back?

The witch had a cat And a very tall hat And long ginger hair Which she wore in a plait How the cat purred And how the witch grinned As they sat on their broomstick And flew through the wind

I love that book!

sniffs certainly not any awarded to me. I was robbed
Honeyroar · 02/02/2021 23:02

I’m off to bed. Night all.😘

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/02/2021 23:03

Loose theme

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
60s

And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
Inxxxxxxxxxx
80s

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
90s

Has everyone gone to bed?

Very sensible?

Does this signify the end of goddam sincere lyrics warbled out to a piano accompaniment? 🤞

(Sorry, coffee)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/02/2021 23:04

Give over Rogue. You won plenty (mostly joint, but you won 🏆) 😁

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/02/2021 23:05

Luckily for you Rogue, yes. However if I can play that well in a few years I will be chuffed to bits!

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

It not that I'm doubting you, honey pie she types doubtfully But I'm singing my way through sweet satellite, and I'm sure those lyric are in it.

Happy to apologise when I'm proved wrong

Erm was all that leaving the thread because you said you’d apologise...
Honeyroar · 02/02/2021 23:07

Hang on, before I go.
Top one is Suspicious minds - Elvis.
Last one is walking in Memphis, dunno who.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 02/02/2021 23:08

If you want a decent song accompanied by a piano, you can't (imho) do a lot better than:

I'm not a present for your friends to open

70s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/02/2021 23:10

Correct to walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn & Suspicious Minds, Elvis

never enough, coffee. Never, ever enough.

I didn't get nicest poster. How can that be right???? In any universe. When I'm so charming and affable to everyone...

Bloody Babooshka keeps winning biggest KB fan, just because of her suck-up oh I love Kate Bush user name.

I don't want to gripe, because it was a nice-enough night. Lovely Willow swung by. You did really well hosting.

But, my god, I was robbed. ROBBED!

Really can't remember now. Seems so long ago.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 02/02/2021 23:14

Is the top one Graceland, Coffee?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/02/2021 23:15

You can have an honorary cutest pet award for little fluffy 🏆

Well, I stand up next to a mountain And I chop it down with the edge of my hand Yeah Well, I stand up next to a mountain And I chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an Island Might even raise a little sand Yeah 70s
Just popping by for my usual late night visit.

Did nobody get this? It’s Voodoo Chile, Jimi Hendrix.

What’s been going on? Is Rogue considering a flounce?

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 02/02/2021 23:23

More lyrics from my outstanding ones from Sunday:

Look inside your hearts
and make a stand
don't be sad
hand in hand we'll try to understand
now's the time...people
one world united
all shades invited
its time to tear these walls all down
what do you do
if we don't spare the world

90s

And don't leave me hanging on
7 words which are the song title
And don't leave me hanging on, no

You planted seeds of love in my heart
With all the tender words you said at the start
But love is something you shouldn't begin
If you're not gonna see it through to the end

70s. I wouldn't get this one if my life depended on it!

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I can honestly say
That things will only get better

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide

80s

I have NEVER flounced, FlouncingB. I merely stepped aside for a short time
