He "lost" all my LPs when I moved out
They were only allowed in the loft

More lyrics for my outstanding one

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar, made his whole life change
Now he needs to keep on rockin', he just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin', that boy has got to stay on top
80s

NeedToKnow101 · 06/02/2021 10:23

Glad you got away from that ex @midgedude ❤️

midgedude · 06/02/2021 10:54

But the meteors, The the, the cramps, the clash and the ruts didn't

Small price

I was dumb!

CarnageAtTheValentineCardStand · 06/02/2021 11:06

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

Carnage!!!!!

You look fabulous

Did you win best UN? You were my top vote in that category
(Just about the only one where my top vote wasn't for me! I think I was 2nd)

Why, thank you @MNerGoneRogueAgain 😀😀😀. Yes I did win, thrilled with that, sorry you came second, but it’s still up there with the Gods ⬆️ xxx

Thanks @Fleamaker123, I’ve got a namechange lined up for March already (taps nose)
Not bored of lock down honestly......

Seconded *@midgedude*, there can only be good times ahead with plenty of gigs 😘😘😘😘
shinynewapple2021 · 06/02/2021 11:24

Sounds like you had some tough times Midge

Glad things are better for you now.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 06/02/2021 11:52

Who's that gigolo on the street
With his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet
Hanging off the curb, looking all disturbed
At the boys from home, they all came running
80s

When it's late your girlfriend's on a date
And the hero with her in your dream
In your sleep it seemed to like you
Turn around and ask yourself
Turn around ask yourself
80s

Roughneck and rudeness
We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone
Bad to the bone
Battle's not over
Even when it's won
90s

Morning all

@CoffeeBeansGalore is the first one Neneh Cherry? Buffalo Stance?

Honeyroar · 06/02/2021 12:36

Second one is Nenah Cherry too - Manchild.

Probably the third is too??

CoffeeBeansGalore · 06/02/2021 13:37

Correct Dexter & Honey. And yes, she is no 3 as well, can you guess it? 😊

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 06/02/2021 13:47

Seven seconds away? The one with that fella that sings 'a meeeeeeeellion voices'(well, that's what it sounds like!)!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 06/02/2021 13:49

Not a good time in the Dexter household.
Got letter from DD school saying she's not engaging, so DH and I had a chat with her. That went as well as can be expected with a 13yo.
Have a spanking headache, tablets not touching it, dogs need walking but I can't face it. And my hot flushes have returned with a vengeance.
Sorry to moan.
I'll stop now.
I want snow, badly.

Honeyroar · 06/02/2021 13:54

Doesn’t sound a good day Dexter. Sending you a hug. I think you’ll get your snow soon. Dogs need walking here too and I can’t face it. I’m already soaked from doing the horses. Lovely husband has gone putting me new winter tyres on as my old ones had stopped working and my car is useless on a hill without them.

Think you’re probably right about the other song, can’t think what else she sang.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 06/02/2021 13:57

Thanks honey. I'm making bread and a Bakewell tart to take my mind off things. Might even go and turn the compost heap.
I know how to live, eh?!

midgedude · 06/02/2021 14:05

Aw, you lot are nice, I am sure many have had much worse

You could get locked in the shed again for some downtime, Dexter?

Honeyroar · 06/02/2021 14:06

You sound happy and on your feet nowadays Midge. I hope so. You should buy yourself those list albums as a reward for leaving.

midgedude · 06/02/2021 14:11

Oh very!
You remind me of another luxury I now have of being able to spend money on such fripperies without permission. ( never granted )

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 06/02/2021 14:18

Think I might lock DH and DD in the shed instead Grin

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 06/02/2021 14:18

How long ago did you leave, Midge? It takes courage to do that.

midgedude · 06/02/2021 14:22

Good plan Dexter

Do you ha e a preference for which one comes out alive?

Ages and ages ago, it was all the talk of live music that brought it back
Still gives me joy though
