@Honeyroar

Shiny was I right with Depeche mode - See you on the last thread?

You were @Honeyroar
Just tried to post on there and realised you had all moved !

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 19:25

There is a theme:

When the sun doesn't shine and it's cloudy and grey
And it's only the beginning …. [can only post half a line because the next words are spoilers]
70s

You say you've got to go home
Well at least there's someone there that you can talk to
And you never have to face up to the night on your own
Jesus, it must be great to be straight.
90s

Baby I'll be tough, too much is not enough, no
I'll grab your heart till it breaks
Oooo, I’ve got what it takes
80s

Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy, and a place of my own
70s

Dancing in stilettoes in the snow?
80s

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you there for me
80s

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 19:27

@Honeyroar

And we danced all the steps Of all those old time movies

(80s)

Racing across the desert
At 100 miles an hour
(80s)

It’s time. And we’re in each other’s arms
It’s time. But I don’t think we really care
(80s)

The last one is dancing with tears in my eyes

And I know I know the first one too

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 19:28

And is the middle one FGTH???

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 19:28

If it is, it's Welcome to the Pleasuredome

shinynewapple2021 · 06/02/2021 19:28

Holding hands and skimming stones
Crocodile rocket on John

shinynewapple2021 · 06/02/2021 19:29

Dancing in stilettos

Marillion Kayleigh

NeedToKnow101 · 06/02/2021 19:30

This ^^ (or the other way), Rogue is a perfect example of why numbered lyrics would be a good idea.

NeedToKnow101 · 06/02/2021 19:31

Oh I forgot to say my family member used to be friends with Marillian.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 19:31

OH!!!!!

Just got the top one. It's NMA.

But which track????

damn you, Honeyroar. Hastily singing my way to the chorus before anyone else can.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 19:31

Gah
Poison Street, I think?????

Did Brittany type this answer shiny?

I can see what you're trying to say, but I'm afraid no points can be awarded on this one.
But you are correct

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 19:33

Correct with Marillion, shiny

shinynewapple2021 · 06/02/2021 19:33

Lol crocodile rock Elton John

shinynewapple2021 · 06/02/2021 19:34

Or if you post lyrics individually it's easier to quote

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 19:34

@NeedToKnow101

I effing HATE Marillian. Kayleigh in particular.

No, the one with the dilly dilly's in it is worse. Makes me want to peck my own ears off. And then eat them!

I know, but doing this way annoys Honey, and that is amusing to me. I love it when she grumps
MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 19:37

But what's the theme, people?????

This theme is sooooooo bad, I will give 1,000 points (yes, that is not a typo) One THOUSAND points to the poster who gets it.
