Blimy, missed the party again..and such a great load of lyrics, amazing

are there things outstanding ? I keep getting confused

Excuse is that my tummy is playing up so I was unfit for anything but moaning and sleeping yesterday, it's ok as the meds are kicking in slowly today ( I hope ) ( pretty please )

Anyway I will guess okapi is The Damned

midgedude · 10/04/2021 08:16

Snd no I am not in Australia, it's the fact that I was sleeping for about 15 hrs that had messed up my body clock here

Honeyroar · 10/04/2021 08:59

Needtoknow are there any pictures of Billy bookcases or old hats on gateposts in your book?😃

Hope everyone who was not good yesterday is feeling better today. I’m off on a trip out of the shire to the midlands.

Afternoon Peeps

All 80s

She never knows what to think She says that he still acts Like he is bein' discovered Scared that he'll be caught Without a second thought

Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out

Give me time to realize my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real

No 2 is Queen I want it all. Weirdly we’re just listening to it in the car!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 10/04/2021 15:15

Afternoon!
The only one I know is number 3 (pipped AGAIN) but 1 is familiar.
Greetings Rogue. How are you?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 10/04/2021 15:16

And that comes from a place of love, by the way, not sarcasm. I do genuinely care.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 10/04/2021 15:18

Aha!! Not the group, more an exclamation
The late, great Robert Palmer - Johnny & Mary.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 10/04/2021 15:23

Correct Honey and Dexter 👍😊

Another girl in the neighbour hood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
70s

She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loved horses and her boyfriend too
80s

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
90s

shinynewapple21 · 10/04/2021 16:09

Forgot to say hello 👋 hope u r all ok Smile

Honeyroar · 10/04/2021 16:20

Hi, the last one is U2 - one
First one is Teenage kicks by the undertones.
Love them both!

Honeyroar · 10/04/2021 16:21

We’ve had the second one before but I can’t remember it!

JGK0 · 10/04/2021 16:45

second is Free-Fallin - Tom Petty

Honeyroar · 10/04/2021 17:01

I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart
(80s)

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 10/04/2021 17:02

Outstanding from yesterday:

Songs with distinctive endings:

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

He’s on it (repeated)
90s

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:

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

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

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

Overlooked, or more lyrics required.

And yes, midge - the nibbling okapi was the bloody damned. Have an 100 points. I can't believe the rest of them didn't get it AGAIN when we'd gone through this a sodding week previously.
Although needtoknow's picture was indeed impressive. (more impressive than honey's owl!)

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 10/04/2021 17:03

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 10/04/2021 17:03

Hope the whole trailer thing went well, Honey

Honeyroar · 10/04/2021 17:05

The cold bedroom one is Joy Division- Love will tear us apart.

Honeyroar · 10/04/2021 17:06

Hey that owl was a very rare type.

Trailer has gone! No going back now. Gulp!

@JGK0

Correct @JGK0 Smile

shinynewapple21 · 10/04/2021 17:24

I don't know any of your outstanding ones Rogue. Either need more lyrics or a clue (although someone else may come along and know them from what you've given )
