She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
90s

Erm.. was there a typo there ?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not as far as I am aware!

I love Space!!
That song was bugging me all morning-even said to DH that I knew it, just couldn't place it grrrrrrrr

Welcome to the club Dexter! 😁

Ok, sorry for the delay (a quick RL distraction)

A quick mini-theme. Sorry to be self indulgent, but this is all about how I haven't been feeling for a week or so, but beginning to again now...

If this town is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
80s

You know I’ll change
If change is what you desire
80s

Girl, ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
Well, you can wait on your blessin's, my darlin'
I got a deal for you right here
90s

Maybe I'm foolish
Maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this
And see what's behind
Got no way to prove it
So maybe I'm blind
2016, so a wee bit outside our 80s or thereabouts limit

My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
2008

😃😃😃
The last one is The Killers (are you feeling murderous, Rogue? I know I am ....) but can't remember the title.
And again, the others are on the tip of my little pink tongue grrrrr

The Killers one is Human. Love it 💕

So, not Murderous, but Human!!

Ha!

You know I’ll change
If change is what you desire

Mirror Man HUMAN League!!

A flash of inspiration!

Maybe I'm foolish
Maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this
And see what's behind
Got no way to prove it
So maybe I'm blind

I'm only human - gravelly voiced male solo

If this town is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
Human Nature Michael Jackson

Is this Rag'n'Bone Man?

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Took this yesterday. Snow/frost on the tree. Thought it was really pretty.

Lovely! They were talking about that on Winter Watch the other day Coffee. It's a phenomenon apparently.

I thought I'm only human was Human League as well?

All correct. Is that all of them, or do some need more lyrics?

I'll check back in a second. I've got a bit of a flurry coming on for you all...

@NeedToKnow101

I thought I'm only human was Human League as well?

I didn't post EVERY bloomin' song relating to human's needtoknow. I did say it was just a mini theme!

Ok. Brace yourselves....
Second theme. This was suggested (by midge????) upthread? Last thread? 3 threads ago?
Also self-absorbed (sorry). The theme is groups/bands/acts that Rogue has seen live (at least when it's a ridiculous theme I let people KNOW that don't want to see people necessarily suffer
(I think some of these are hard. I’d NEVER get them, even though I liked the bands enough to pay money to see them! I've tried to give more lyrics if I think it's a tough guess)

I tell you love, sister
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
60s. But kudos, they’re still touring!

It's so sad when you're young
To be told
80s

I don't even care if I look a mess
Don't wanna be a sucker like all the rest
70s

You won’t get this. But I had to include it because it’s my favourite lyric in my favourite song by a groups I’ve seen live 7 times. Shall I just tell you all the answer to this one now?

Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
80s

I raised a family
In times of austerity
With sweat at the foundry
80s

I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm inside free enterprise

I'm adaptable
I'm adaptable

I'm adaptable and I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways where money applies
80s.

You lot probably won’t get this one either.

Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings
80s

You shake your body on the TV screen
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that I'll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Could not look old Son House in the eyes
Unaware you carry such a fragile load
But I've got yours, and you've got mine
90s.

I don’t think you lot will get this one, because I’ve put up lyrics from this band before and none of you recognised them. But it’s one of my favourite albums ever, so you get it. Sorry!

And when the money, comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
80s

Keep a generation gap
Try wearing a cap
80s, stunningly. Only just, I’ll bet!
