Thanks for the @'ing pantry.

It's just like honey by jesus and Mary chain.

Why is there a mini theme in honour of the roaring monster? Is her ego not big/inflated enough already????

It was more a theme based on my lunch of honey on toast.

Try these:-

Morning all. I'd like to tell you about when I was a young boy. I must have been three or four months old at the time. I didn't really know what I wanted, and if I did, I wouldn't have been able to tell anybody, 'cos all I could do was gurgle.
70s

Cyaan' bawl ina life man
Mi haffi thank God for di journey, di earnings a jus fi di plus (yeah)
Gratitude is a must (yeah)
Mi see blessings fall by mi right hand
Buss a toast fi di friends weh tek off heavy load
One time did sit down inna class and we bored
Den Oli say do road and mi gwan wid di gwan wid di

Jah shower blessings upon me
And say me fi tell you me story (yeah)
Jah shower blessings upon me
And dats how I made it, give him the glo-ry

And me delighted, Jah know say mi passion ignited
Cah di music get me excited, come in like a potion
Mhm

Blessings all pon mi life and
Mi thank God for di journey, di earnings a jus fi di plus (yeah)
Gratitude is a must (yeah)
Mi see blessings fall by mi right hand
Buss a toast fi di friends weh tek off heavy load
One time did sit down ina class and we bored
Den oli say do road and mi gwan wid di road

I think this is 2018, so hence the quantity of lyrics

HTH

Honeyroar... I don't remember any other Fat Larry's Band songs either, I remember that Fat Larry (the drummer) passed away in the 80's...not sure if they carried on? Happy to be proven wrong

Honeyroar · 16/02/2021 16:57

One of them will be Toast. A little bit of toast. Was it a Young Paul Young?

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 16/02/2021 17:07

Yes, Honey. I thought the band was called the Q-tips, but might also be called Streetband.

I doubt anyone will get it, but the other one is called Toast as well. It's by Koffee

shinynewapple21 · 16/02/2021 17:13

Well done Rogue I had a vague thought of whether there was a song called toast but I didn't get that far !

Going to repost what was outstanding of my theme from yesterday with some more lyrics

Fleamaker123 · 16/02/2021 17:15

Until the sun comes up over
Santa Monica Boulevard

90's

shinynewapple21 · 16/02/2021 17:16

Our little friendship
Left behind not long ago
Don't feel too hurt
As distance heals the strongest pain
Things are much better now and just the nagging doubt remains
You know I'll change
80s

shinynewapple21 · 16/02/2021 17:18

Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love
Never knew just what I had
90s

I'm standing in the rain
Drenched and soaked with pain
Tired of short time benefits
And being exposed to the elements
I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around
80s

Fleamaker123 · 16/02/2021 17:23

👍 Shiny
And Coffee 😀

shinynewapple21 · 16/02/2021 17:24

What's up - 4 non blondes
Die for you - Prince
Fantastic day - haircut 100

And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no, not I
