@Fleamaker123

Oh I missed Bronski Beat NeedToKnow101 Love that song

I think Honey got it already 😘

The first one is confusion by New Order
and her hair is kinda curly is it's tricky, I think. Run DMC????

Both correct Well done Rogue ✅✅👏🏼

These ones I think are outstanding from me with more lyrics added:
Songs with distinctive endings:

Ain't you heard of the starving millions
Ain't you heard of contraception
Do you really a program of sterilization
Take control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
Try wearing a cap
80s (just. Definitely a 70s feel)

And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on then all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
There's nothing wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone

He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
90s

Sing
Us a song
A song to keep
Us warm
There's
Such a chill
Such a chill

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your
Rules and wisdom choke you

Now
We are one
In everlasting peace

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:

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
contemplating a crime.
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
70s

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
60s

Hi all

Much better today , been outside! Lovely day

The staving millions isn't the jam or the clash .... done too much much too young ...dh is looking like I have gone mad ....

Grrrrr! Missed the Specials too much too young. One of my favourite songs

@RogueMNerKnowsNoShame

great new name, Carnage.

I was going to ask about birthdays. I am a mid-April. But I seemed to think when we were talking about it, there were a couple of others with April birthdays too.

Who else? Fess up!

An April birthday bonanza!!! Awaits!

Glad you're feeling better midge.

Yes, needtoknow, I was surprised you didn't get that one. I thought it was your kind of music

Hello Midge, glad things have improved. We've had some sun inbetween snow and hail!

@RogueMNerKnowsNoShame

Glad you're feeling better midge.

Yes, needtoknow, I was surprised you didn't get that one. I thought it was your kind of music

It is Rogue; I feel ashamed. I might put my nettle vest on. I didn't notice it first time and had a mini-drama I had to attend to at home just now..

My pic of the day is this crazy chimney, seen in Hampstead. Where I don't live.
(I think it's a chimney!)

Glad you're feeling better Midge, apart from you pipped me to the Specials.

Wow, needtoknow, that's amazing.

I love hampstead. We used to walk on the heath when I was a kid.

We've had snow today. Sunny now. Insane!

(Do you need to explain to honey that it's not a picture of an owl?)

Speaking loudly and clearly: It's an ocelot, dear. An OCELOT

Sorry about the pipping , it just got into my head

That's a wild chimney ... it's not flouncing's roof I hope!

Of course it’s not an owl. I know one of Mary Poppin’s penguins when i see it.

Come mothers and fathers - times they are a changing Bob Dylan

Damn! I wondered if the one about the cap was Too much too young . Don't see it as 70s though. Most ska/two -tone stuff 80-81 I thought

Weird chimney.. It's like that song about a crooked man in a crooked house!

It’s pretty cool, isn’t it. My practical head says I wonder if the smoke blows back because of it! Reminds (somehow!) me of a block of flats I walked past on my last trip to New York. Looked like something I’d made out of Lego- my construction was always dodgy!

That looks like a game of Jenga Honey!!

It looks a bit scary, doesn’t it!

Your NY thing looks like something the Star Wars Stormtroopers would make Honey.
Mine looks like Dickensian builder on mushrooms.

Got one outstanding from this morning..

Ev'ry day I work so hard bringin' home my hard-earned pay.
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Don't know where you're goin', I don't know just where you've been;
Sweet little baby, I want you again.
60s

Dickensian builder on mushrooms 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You lot are brilliant!

Needtoknow, I know it's NOT that, but the first line reads like that's livin' all right. And I KNOW it's not that song, but it's all I can hear in my head

Needtoknow's chimney reminds me of the crooked spire at Chesterfield

Needtoknow, I know it's NOT that, but the first line reads like that's livin' all right. And I KNOW it's not that song, but it's all I can hear in my head

.. it's not Rogue. Don't know that song? 🧐

No one admitting to April birthday? Or maybe one of you was March?
Am I really going to have to send midge go trawling back through twenty bloody threads to when we talked about ut
