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

The Proclaimers, (I Would Walk) 5000 Miles

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

A one two three four John the Baptist knows the score 80s

This one might be tough. Our Honey-pie often recognizes the lyrics, but has said she doesn't particularly like the group

It’s Half man half biscuit - the God one. I don’t like the music but I do appreciate their funny lyrics usually.

You’re going to have to pace yourself posting lyrics rather than “Rogue’s weekly dump”!!

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

Now I don't want you back for the weekend Not back for a day, no, no, no 80s

Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine

I was about to answer The Proclaimers one but I've been pipped at the post

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

I love that more than words song.

Not for the first time, I feel that pantry has v similar music taste to me. Maybe just in some areas

Yes! So much that you post is my kind of music

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

And was due to see, but got covid-cancelled:

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
80s

Don't you forget about about me - Simple Minds

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

And it's hard For me to say And it's hard For me to stay I'm going down To be by myself I'm going back For the good of my health 80s

It's Jesus and Mary Chain - April Skies One of my favourite songs every

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no

Ah, you think you're so pretty
90s

James - Laid

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

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

Sounds as if it might be Billy Bragg

Can't think of the title but I can hear his voice doing this bit

Anniversaries come and go
They're just another day
Remember when our love was new
The promises we made

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

On top of the world Looking over the edge 80s

Kate Bush, cloudbusting

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

So what do you want of me Got no words of sympathy And if I go around with you You know that I get messed up, too With you Na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na 80s I don’t think many of you will get this. Except it was on the awards night playlist. But the person who nominated it doesn’t come and play here any more. But most of you have played the awards night playlist, so that might help???

Slow down you're gonna crash? Don't remember artist

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

Is there anybody out there trying to get through? My eyes are so cloudy I can't see you 80s

Duran Duran - Planet Earth

Not sure what’s been got and what hasn’t.

The Primitives sang it Flea.

Wouldn't have remembered that Honeyroar... When I was humming through it I get getting Jane Weidlin's Rush hour 😬

Kept getting

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

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

Evening all

Looks like Rogue's been busy

Don't think this has been got yet - Adam and the ants - ant music

Evening Shiny 😊

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

This is a slight cheat, but I’m taking it:

Jesus, it must be great to be straight.
90s

This is remember the first time by Pulp

Aha! You've all rocked up. Hang on, ill come over to the computer....

I'll grrrrrrr

@midgedude

Human touch Springsteen

Hi I'm here almost ... in two weeks time I will share joy or misery with you all but feeling superstitious . And maybes some lyrics too

correct, Midge.

Not sure I totally understand your post. Does that mean something nice might be happening to you in a couple of weeks and you'll let us know then whether or not it does?

If so, finger's crossed for you that it all pans out as you hope x

To midge who wrote:

Walking on sunshine

Martha and muffins ?

Correct to song title. So woefully wrong as to the singer/group that you must forfeit many, many points.

Correct for Echo and the Bunnymen. I fell into a vortex early and watched the video on Youtube. He was so young and pretty!!!! I never noticed back in the day. Also, I remember thinking back then that they were all pretty old
I guess there's probably 3 or 4 years in it.

Dexter - correct for TfF and Sowing the Seeds of Love.

Dexter - correct again for the Proclaimers, but the song is actually called 500 miles, not 5000, so no points, I'm afraid.

Well done Honey for HMHB. The song's called God Gave Us Life. You did very well to get it from that, as it's just the intro. Did you at some point in your life having people/someone living in close proximity who was a big fan (I'm think ex bf, shared house or something)? Cos considering you'd don't like them, you get them very easily.

Pantry - correct for Katrina and the Waves You get midge's points there, Pantry.

Pantry - also correct for Simple Minds and Don't You Forget About Me. Gutted to have missed that gig.

And Pantry again, correct for Jesus and Mary Chain. I was soooo ill at that gig. I was only 17 or 18, and it was in Brixton. Not drink or drugs ill. Flu. I puked my way up to and then around London and felt so rubbish. But they were my bf's favourite band, and he begged me not to give up and go home. He managed to blag us a lift to get home, though, which was sweet cos I really wasn't well.

Pantry (again) - correct with Laid and James.

Flea - correct and you're brave, zipping in with a KB one under FlouncingB's nose. I suspect she'll huff about that one later.

Correct with Crash, Flea. And Honey's right - it's the Primitives.

Honey is right with Planet Earth and Duran Duran. I knew you'd get that one, Honey-pie. You're our little gothy Durannie!

Shiny is correct with Adam and the Ants and Ant Music.

It IS Pulp, Shiny, and I'm impressed you got it from that one line. But I'm thinking I'm going to dock you points, as the song is, in fact called DO YOU remember the first time. And you don't disrespect my Jarvis! Aka Mr Rogue no 2

Pantry, when you say
I raised a family
In times of austerity
With sweat at the foundry
80s

Sounds as if it might be Billy Bragg

Can't think of the title but I can hear his voice doing this bit

you are correct. Do you want to have a crack at the title (or anyone)? Or are more lyrics needed. For me, it's the song I always associate with him more than any other. Very, very, very 80s, anti-Thatcher, poli'ical!. Love him!
