Evening everyone. Looks like I missed a lyric party. Is anything left?

Evening Honey, hope you had a good day.. no-one's got this..

Some drop science, while I'm dropping English
Even if Yella, makes it a-capella

Creature comfort goals They only numb my soul And make it hard for me to see My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away

I posted this earlier

A better known verse is

Xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 18/04/2021 19:54

Needtoknow, the only science song I can think of is she's blinding me with science.
But it's not that, I don't think.

NeedToKnow101 · 18/04/2021 19:56

Here's a bit more of this rap classic for you guys.. I'm so bloody giving..

yo, I don't smoke weed or sess
Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
And brain damage on the mic don't manage, nothing
But making a sucker and you equal
Don't be another sequel

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/04/2021 20:09

@RogueMNerKnowsNoShame was that the one used for the film Weird Science?

@RogueMNerKnowsNoShame

Damn! I missed it too.

How did today go honey monster?

Ok. Really busy, but full team on so we coped. In a normal week we’d take £1500-2000. This week we took £5000! And I’m sick of people already. “Oh do I need to wear a mask, I didn’t know” “oh do we still have to do track and trace? I didn’t know” “oh aren’t we allowed groups larger than six? I didn’t know..”. Poor little kitchen girl had all the owner’s stress taken out on her. But I’ve survived the week. One down, five to go!
CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/04/2021 20:50

Well done Honey! Although I feel for that kitchen girl.

Good luck for those back in work tomorrow. I've got 10 weeks until we break for summer, not that I'm counting . . . 😄

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 18/04/2021 21:02

I don't know, coffee. I haven't seen that film.

Honey, that's insane. You must be exhausted.

5 weeks. Not long, not long, not long!
And the one good thing about being super-busy is, time does fly past.

A half hearted yo and a limp fist bump to those of us back tomorrow.

Honeyroar · 18/04/2021 21:11

Yes I feel sorry for the kitchen girl. To be honest, she seems not to notice the atmosphere etc and says she’s fine when I ask if she’s ok. The other “regular” lady that works with me said she’d be livid if she knew her 16 year old was being treated like that.

Yes good luck for the school people tomorrow. This lyric is for you..

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they’ve done to you

shinynewapple21 · 18/04/2021 21:49

That must be really annoying Honey, how can people not know those things by now? It must surely be harder for staff returning from weeks at home on furlough to be thrown in at the deepend. No easing yourself back in, a real shock to the system .
At least you are on a countdown now must make it easier .

midgedude · 19/04/2021 07:06

Good luck all for work today

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/04/2021 18:57

Thank you Midge! All in all it wasn't a bad day 😊

Outstanding ones of mine with answers

I know a man
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown

Slip Sliding away, Paul Simon

When I was a young boy,
Said put away those young boy ways
Now that I'm getting' older so much older
I long all those young boy days

Hurt so good John Mellancamp

Morning everyone! My outstanding one... Some drop science, while I'm dropping English
Even if Yella, makes it a-capella... is Express yourself by NWA.

Have a good day y'all Grin😘

Never in a million years would I have got that one!!

Morning ladies, hope you're all ok. Honey, I'll have an order for 50 cakes please Grin not been well recently. Anyway, here's an (easy) lyric!

"My heart is old, it holds my memories
My body burns a gem-like flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again"

WhipperSnapperSteve · 20/04/2021 12:17

(It's 80s btw).

Honeyroar · 20/04/2021 14:10

I think that is Mister Mister’s Kirie.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 20/04/2021 15:26

Hope you're ok now, Steve!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/04/2021 15:37

Nice to see you again Steve, sorry you haven't been well.
