They all went quick! Any left?

Hello everyone. I’m here. Sorry I’m late to the lyric fest, as usual. Hope you’re ok Rogue 🍷🍷😘. Got no idea what’s left!

Is Pantry’s french one Joe le Taxi - Vanessa Paradis?

Am all wired up. We’re taking the trailer tomorrow. Am feeling weirdly sad to see it go, which is completely strange. We’ve not been anywhere in it for about five years!

RockinRobbie saying goodbye!

@RogueMNerKnowsNoShame

I feel my chips are a little pissed on (but I'm in a negative space inside my head atm, so trying not to let that get in the way). Sorry if this is tedious or not of interest, but I prepared it; so here you go -

Songs with distinctive endings:

Try wearing a cap
80s (just. Definitely a 70s feel)

Nibbled to death by an okapi
Nibbled to death by an okapi
Nibbled to death by an okapi
70s. Sorry, this is one of my indulgences. Get the bloody group if you want the points!

Beep beep, yeah
60s

He’s on it (repeated)
90s

Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...
70s

We hope that you choke
That you choke
We hope that you choke
That you choke
We hope
That you choke
That you choke
90s

Songs with distinctive lyrics, because there just weren't enough distinctive endings:

Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side?
80s

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight training running through the
Middle of my head
80s

But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head

And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Guess who just got back today
(this should have been in first lines!)

I never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one anymore
80s

Unaware, I’m tearing you asunder, ooo
There is thunder in our hearts
80s

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
90s

For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
60s

Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
(sorry to put this one in, but I think the lyrics to this song are incredible, especially with her voice)

Kathy I’m lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping:
I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why.
60s. I made a playlist for my dad’s funeral, and this song was on it. He liked the group, although not especially this song. But those two lines makes me just fucking bawl.

You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
contemplating a crime.”
70s

Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball
90s

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow
80s. Funnily enough, someone posted this song the other day, but it was already on my list

Don’t criticize what you can’t understand
60s

Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you
Tomorrow I’ll miss you
60s

I know what I am, and I bet I’m a man
60s

For we have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you
80s

And you sip your Napoleon brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no, you don't
60s

Lola - The Kinks

Nibbled to death by an okapi

Not a clue, but the thought of being nibbled to death by an okapi makes me chuckle

Honey - I'm confused , where are you going , where is RockinRobbie going ?

Robbie isn’t going anywhere but the trailer is off on its journey to be converted tomorrow. Rob just thought he was going somewhere exciting when I opened the door...
NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:16

Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...
70s

Is that Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody?

shinynewapple21 · 09/04/2021 22:17

Oh I see! I thought you were buying a new trailer . You are having one converted .

Honeyroar · 09/04/2021 22:18
