Yes Honeyroar Unforgettable Fire
My favourite U2 track ❤️

Honeyroar · 16/02/2021 20:53

I think it’s one of my top 3 too. I struggle picking one track for any artist!

Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog

@MNerGoneRogueAgain

Is this a theme worthy of midge, shiny?

Possibly Grin

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 16/02/2021 21:02

Crazy for you, madonna

@Fleamaker123

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
I had a quick google earlier. They had a few other songs but I didn’t know them.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 16/02/2021 21:09

Because there’s murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world
(80s)

NeedToKnow101 · 16/02/2021 21:10

Baby, I know you're wondering
Why I won't go over to your place
'Cause I'm not to sure about how you feel
So I'd rather go at my own place
80s

shinynewapple21 · 16/02/2021 21:11

@shinynewapple21

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

Next line is

Ooh ah
Zippin up my boots
