I laugh like hell at my own jokes too!

We don’t do gifts, just cards, but Mr Honey quite often still buys things, and I often end up feeling bad. So I just buy chocolates now, knowing damned well that I’ll eat them all for him anyway. And when he grumbles I can say “but we weren’t really doing presents anyway”!

@MNerGoneRogueAgain I’m back! Don’t post any answers while I work my way back to your lyrics

I got a note from my cousin the other day
He said his lady had gone on a holiday
He thought she’d be back in a week or two
But that was more than two months ago
(80s)

More lyrics. If you don't get these from this, I'll let you know later/in the morning what the songs were...

From nearer the beginning of the song:
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

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.

Mr FlouncingB would get this. Coooee. Hello Mr FlouncingB

I actually don’t need MrFB for that one. it’s one of my favourite tracks by the Stones - Gimme Shelter.

I feel like it's Bill Wyman?

Ok here’s a few from my lovey dovey tape collections of the past...

Now the party’s over
I’m so tired
(80s)

Spinning on that dizzy edge
(80s)

You make me feel like I am fun again
(80s)

I always gave my best
Your memory serves you so badly
(80s)

You light the skies
Up above me
(2000s)

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
(80s)

No not Bill Wyman. I hadn’t heard it for ages, heard it on the radio earlier.

Now the party’s over
I’m so tired

Is that Avalon Roxy Music?

Is it Come Dancing?

I so know it.....

Oh heck.

Mr FlouncingB has out our grim Danish TV drama on. I can’t read the subtitles without glasses and can’t read the thread with glasses.

Will have to come back later.

Gutted I seem to have missed a conversation about being a goth. I was a goth-lite. Big backcombed hair and black clothes but much more ‘girly’ make-up rather than full on gothy.

No it’s not that. Think black singers and the lyrics were always fun.

Lynx????

Intuition??

C'mon Honey... put me out of my misery...

Sorry I’d wandered off. It’s Lynx but not Intuition (fits the day...)

Have a good evening Rogue. I was waiting for your dodgy valentines playlist with the creepy Mission lyrics!

Oops going to say this is romance. Oh well I guessed the hard bit.

Search your heart
Search your soul
And when you find me there
You'll search no more
90s

It was a rainy night when he came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat
So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while
90s

You don't even care about what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
There's just no room in there for me
80s

Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, he's lost and alone
Yeah, you can stay home
90s

Search your heart one is Anything I do, I do for you - Bryan Adams.

The rainy night one is Cher - All I wanna do?
