'There have been occasions when I’ve had to google lyrics I’ve posted because I’ve instantly forgotten what they are '

Me too 😂😂

@Honeyroar

That Justify one of Babooshkas morphed into something else in my head while I was at the dentist. Couldn’t get it! All I could sing was “to clarify and justify”. When I finally got what it was those words weren’t in it!! See if you can get it...

Your face is hidden and we’re out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere.
(80s)

Ok more lyrics to this one. I think we’ve had it before!

Your face is hidden and we’re out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The Stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answers nowhere
(80s)

NeedToKnow101 · 03/02/2021 19:43

A mini-flurry with a wishful thinking theme.. (boiler off again)...

Gonna break out of the city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
It's the type of life to find
Tired of doing day jobs
With no thanks for what I do
I'm sure I must be someone
Now I'm gonna find out who
70s

Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not
80s

All around people looking half-dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a matchhead

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl

Original is 60s

I was misled by the odd line ...

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 03/02/2021 21:06

Hi folks. I'm pages behind. I will read and catch up.
But I've had a monster work day today. Almost midge levels, (maybe?). 8.15 til 6.45. That is NOT a normal working day for me.

I'm knackered.

Normally I'd just not check in until I'm a bit recovered. But after I scared you all yesterday, I just want you all to know I'm fine. Everything is fine.

I'll see you guys tomorrow or soon. Or later if I get pissed-second-wind enough!

Love n hugs and happy song lyrics to everyone 💕

midgedude · 03/02/2021 21:13

I finished quite early today, started 8 as normal but took dh for a medical thing at 4!

Only did another half hour or so later ... and then another couple of minutes when I had an idea

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/02/2021 21:13

Thank goodness you're still here Rogue! We missed you!
When I go back to the office, I shall be working 12hr shifts. But I'll still be on here 🙄

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/02/2021 21:17

This one:
"Big apes, small apes, anything at all apes
Playing in our cages when the light goes down
Cut out the facts and only let in the rumours
We're going to be rich tonight...."

80s

shinynewapple2021 · 03/02/2021 21:28

Hi there Rogue - glass of wine and put your feet up.

I normally work around 5 -6 hours a day so doing 10-12 hours would probably finish me off !

We've had Chinese takeout - half a portion of rice and no wine for me though as I need to try to get some of this lockdown flab off.

FlouncingBabooshka · 03/02/2021 21:36

Best snuggle up in that slanket with a few 🍷 🍷 🍷 Rogue ❤️

Honeyroar · 03/02/2021 21:44

I’ve got far too used to not working,, been furloughed coming up to ten months in the last twelve, although miss my former salary! Seem to not stop, nevertheless, between caring for horses, dogs and my mum.

shinynewapple2021 · 03/02/2021 21:53

I used to work term time when DS was young and I was so busy in the 6 weeks I used to wonder how I fit work in!

OTOH I found a to do list the other day I had written a couple of years back when I was caring for my parents , working and DS a young teenager and I have no idea how I used to manage everything in one day.

I think our days stretch to what needs to be done .

Honeyroar · 03/02/2021 21:58

Yes I think you’re probably right Shiny.

Fleamaker123 · 03/02/2021 22:01

Wow a long day Rogue, hope you're relaxing with a glass 🍷
Well I've just found out I've got to self isolate 😬 so I might be on here more than usual!

Honeyroar · 03/02/2021 22:07

Oh no Flea! Will that be a nuisance?

shinynewapple2021 · 03/02/2021 22:12

Do you normally work outside the home Fleamaker?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/02/2021 22:19

Rogue, hope you are now putting your feet up. Flea, fingers crossed you stay healthy & ok. Expecting lots of lyrics ftom you now!
