from the last thread:

Don't wrap me up in cotton wool
You cannot treat me like a fool
Anyway if I was, you gotta let me be one
Okay give me your advice
It's not my fault if I can't be wise
Show me a person who hasn't been done

Look
But you gotta let me live my life
80s
Look Mamma I Love You, Howard Jones. Got by Flea

I'm glad I opened your eyes
The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice

    • This line is the title of the song * *
    • As is this one * * Well, I was just passing the time I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy to mine? Tell me a story about how you adore me 60s This one is easier with fewer words, I think. It's the Rolling Stones. Have you seen your mother, baby (standing in the shadows)

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quiter time
Lights down, you up and die

Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange

50s, so slightly outside our usual window. You’re not going to get this one, I don’t think. My dad would’ve done.
This is Elvis. That's all right Mamma.

She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
But she won't mind me lying
80s
FlouncingB (eventually) got that this was Mother Stands For Comfort.

Here we are in a fabulous place
What are you gonna dream here?
We are standing in this fabulous place
What are you gonna play here?
I know you love the high life, you love to leap around
You love to beat your chest and make your sound
But not here man - this is sacred ground
With a Power flowing through
And if I know you…
80s. I thought Honey would get this one.
This is Bang the Drum by the Waterboys.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 18/03/2021 22:58

@Honeyroar

Yes Carnage it is. ✅ Why is your garden centre bloody?
@Honeyroar

Because they’ve put the bloody prices up, greedy feckers 😮
It’s not a struggling local business either, or I’d understand re: covid, but they are currently shut, and this is a large one whose prices have never been low to begin with.

It’s the first time I have ever left there empty handed.

Well, apart from houseplant food.......

Morning all Smile

All these messages on here last night ! I think I was looking at the old thread and hadn't realised it was full so just thought no one was posting . Will read back through here now .

shinynewapple21 · 19/03/2021 12:01

I do get your alerts Coffee, but only if I am checking my emails . Which I didn't do last night .

CrepuscularCritter · 19/03/2021 18:15

Woohoo...this appeared in my feed, so must be a tagging success!

Happy weekend everyone. Excuse me if I'm a tad overexcited. I had an email to say that my Shielded Patient isolation comes to an end on the 31st. I will still need to be careful, but it will be lovely to be able to go out when we all can. I'm inappropriately excited at the thought of getting to walk somewhere different.

And try these:

  1. I bet you tell stories of wine loosened ladies
And friends of a friend that you used to know Of course there've been losers, but you're nothing shady And under your polish the engines don't go
  1. Reaching out I touch another skin
Breathing out while he is breathing in Deep inside I feel my soul aflame Can my life ever be the same?
  1. She had trusted many
And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence That she could sense for miles She dreamed of her wanton luxury And she laughed and she cried and she tried to taunt him
  1. It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool
  1. So he has heard all of the lines now
And every time he don't stutter when he talks It's true it's true He sure has acquired this kinda cool And inspired sorta jazz when he walks
Fleamaker123 · 19/03/2021 18:23

That's great Crepuscular, a bit of freedom for you 😊 enjoy!

  1. It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

Carole King, too late baby

midgedude · 19/03/2021 18:33

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 19/03/2021 18:34

Great news, critter. Hopefully a sign of things to come for all of us.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 19/03/2021 18:35

BTW, the rest of us include a decade with our lyrics sniffs

CrepuscularCritter · 19/03/2021 18:37

Absolutely I hope this is a start for some kind of return to normality...if not normal...for us all. And apologies; I swear that lot had paragraphs when it left my fingers. Wink

CrepuscularCritter · 19/03/2021 18:38

Been gone too long to remember the decades, Rogue . But I know you all like a challenge...

NeedToKnow101 · 19/03/2021 18:39

That's great Critter!!

CrepuscularCritter · 19/03/2021 18:39

And yes to Amoureuse and Kiki Dee. Plus yes to Carole King and It's Too Late, Flea.

NeedToKnow101 · 19/03/2021 18:40

@NeedToKnow101

That's great Critter!!

Not the lack of decades; that you've got your freedom back! Grin😘

midgedude · 19/03/2021 18:43
