Sounds like you’ve had a rough time of it Steve. Glad you’re home now - hope you feel a lot better.

Yes, Shiny, it’s Oh Lori ⭐️ - anyone know the band?

@Honeyroar

That makes sense Shiny, I was thinking that my mother, who has everything else wrong with her, sailed through her jabs without affect.

Righto, some lyrics. It’s the singer’s birthday.

  1. I hear her voice and start to run into the trees
  1. Night after night she lay alone in bed
  1. Getting bigger and sleeker and wider and brighter
  1. You’ll have to adapt or you’ll be out of style
They are songs by The Cure.

Yes but you’re going to have to expand on that Steve! I said it was the same singer and Coffee already guessed no 3.🤣

Good evening all 👋 xx

Yup, namechange fail! They flooded me with antibiotics and morphine for diverticulitis and pancreatitis. Nice to be back home.
Glad to hear you’re back home @Whipper

Yes, correct Carnage ⭐️ - it was Alessi Brothers.

Google tells me they are 67 now!

  • Happy birthday, Robert

    Honey:

    1. But it's just the same a stupid game.
    1. Vanilla smile and a gorgeous strawberry kiss.
    1. I wish I could stay asleep today.

    Steve, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know a couple of people who've had pancreatatis, so my heart goes out to you. I hooe they're managing you well now. All the best n hugs

    That's Close to me, the Cure of course!!

    Get well soon @WhipperSnapperSteve ❤️

    Honeyroar · 22/04/2021 08:16

    Well done Rogue👏

    Yours are -

    1. Let’s go to bed.
    2. Hmm don’t know
    3. Close to me (and how I feel!)

    An easy theme... not the Cure

    Some people might say my life is in a rut
    But I'm quite happy with what I got
    People might say that I should strive for more
    But I'm so happy I can't see the point
    70s

    Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
    Would I wanna be anywhere else?
    Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why?
    Would I wanna be anywhere else?
    00s

    The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
    Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
    70s

    Too many shadows, whispering voices
    Faces on posters, too many choices
    80s

    More to come.. but bumped into a colleague..

    midgedude · 22/04/2021 08:32

    Ah, rogue got Charlotte sometimes

    Small piece of lyrics history....that song came up quite early on and despite the cure being incredibly popular no one could get it , it may have made it into the quiz for that reason

    RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 22/04/2021 08:38

    Needtoknow, no 2 I’m getting a lily Allen vibe.

    No 4 is west end girls the pet shop boys

    Mint car, honey. Gorgeous, happy song!

    Are you preparing a quiz, midge?

    Fleamaker123 · 22/04/2021 09:05

    Morning everyone!
    Hope you're all ok, sorry to hear you've not been well WhipperSnapperSteve, that sounds tough xx

    Grief so many people been poorly, take care all. Whipper , that sounds horrid

    shinynewapple21 · 22/04/2021 12:53

    I heard this yesterday, fits with Needtoknow's theme

    Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty six
    He thinks of all the lips that he licks
    And all the girls that he's going to fix
