I like Gomez Rogue, DH played them quite a bit in the late 90s and it's one of the things we play when we go on holiday. I don't know the title of any of the tracks though .

I thought the first episode of finding alice was something really good in the sense that I totally got her grief and shock.
And I liked her DD

NeedToKnow101 · 13/02/2021 20:33

And when it all gets hung and it all gets tough and
Everything won't be enough
It's a perfect time to all come true for loving tonight

I almost liked it, but just didn't. I liked the daughter too though.

OK I think we've discussed Finding Alice enough now.

Don't get my sympathy
Hanging out the fifteenth floor
You've changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door

Here my bed is made for two and there's nothing I can do
So tell me something I don't know
If my head is full of you, is there nothing I can do?
Must we all march in two by two by two?

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed and it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know exactly where I stand?
This world is forcing me to hold your hand

Honeyroar · 13/02/2021 21:02

The boy is always mad
He sits alone and sad
He holds my hand so tightly
He says go away I’m bad
(80s)

I will not fail nor falter I will succeed
My perception is altered I do believe
Faith is so strong now nothing shall bar my way
Firm conviction this is no fiction this is my day
(90s)

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 13/02/2021 21:05

Not going for the siouxsie one, honey???

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/02/2021 21:06

Correct to Just a girl - when Gwen was in No Doubt.

Correct to Just, Radiohead.

Voice of the Beehive - I say Nothing

My favourite lyric from this song is

That's why I sometimes stand alone at parties.
That's why I drink, so I'll be who they think I am.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 13/02/2021 21:12

Ah! Of course. I loved that song too!
I knew I knew the holding my hand so tightly line!

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 13/02/2021 21:13

I also like "that's why I drink: so I'll be who they think I am"

Great lyrics

And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes

My guardian angel walks away
