It IS a Margaret attwood quote.

Morning all.

Rainy and grim here

Rainy and grim here too. My first Saturday off too!

Good excuse for you to sit with your feet up, honey pie 💋

For honey and anyone else with their feet up...

I think these are still outstanding from the other day...

Good evening Mr & Mrs America and all ships at sea,
The candidate is taking the country by storm.
70s

The sick and the hungry are unable
Protect them and those who may live in fear
We as the young wish to say in this song
God bless great America
60s, I think

Riot shields
Voodoo economics
It's life, it's life
It's just business
90s

they all loosely have an election/voting/protest theme

And here’s a load more to brighten up a dull, dull day…

Mostly eeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssseeeeeee
(which will obviously be reflected in the points)

All 80s

1. Hot temptation!

2. Do you feel my heart beating?

3. I'll give you ten good reasons to stay

4. What you want from me
   Tell me, maybe I could be there for you

5. Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
   Turning me up and turning me down

This version is an 80s cover of an earlier track. Name both for double points….

6. Get the party goin' on the dance floor

7. You know it's one thing to say you love me
   But another to mean it from the heart
   And if you don't intend to see it through
   Why did we ever start?
   I wanna hear you tell me
   You don't want my love

8. I hear your voice
   It's like an angel sighing

9. We had a quarrel and I let myself go

10. I think about the implications when alone between the sheets
    When all the huggin' and kissin' is tearin' my heart apart
    All people standin' hand in hand, celebratin' all different colours

11. Now I tremble
    At your name.
    Nothing in the world will ever
    Be the same.

Anyone knowing this truly atrocious track wins 10,000 points, but loses all credibility forever (I suspect coffee will know it….)

11a) And I wondered was I destined to spend my life alone
Oh girl you answered my question
This time it's working you've given me new hope

I think this one’s fecking dreadful as well, but it is marginally better than the one above

12. You wrapped me 'round your little-bitty finger

But what do I know? I owned this album, so I have no credibility either. But I do have considerably more points that the rest of you!

13. Rags to riches or so they say Ya gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame

But I also had this album, and several others by them. I loved them, but they’re not really everyone else on here’s cup of tea. But you might get this track.

14. I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop

Actually, I owned this one too. There’s no hope for me hangs head sadly
perks up when I remember how many points I’ve got

15. And I can’t help myself

16. Even when you're home
    You won't pick up your phone
    And take my call
    When I see you on the street
    You stare down at your feet
    You won't talk at all

Puke, Puke, Puke, Puke, Puke

17. I know that I'm a prisoner To all my Father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears

Also dire

And finally, couldn’t resist…
Teach me to harvest, I want you to grow in my hand

And you're all going to hate me, cos I'm going to meet a friend now, so won't be back for a while.

A good mix here of very easy and really quite hard, I think.

feels proud of self

8. is Madonna Like a prayer

9. Lisa Stansfield all around the world

10. Mike and the Mechanics - the living years

I'm sure I actually know a few more too - I'll have another look later on if they haven't all been got .'

Hope the weather is kind for your meet up with your friend Rogue, DH and I are on a break away to the coast this weekend , it was beautiful yesterday but had a windy and wet walk along the front this morning and a bit of a damp pub lunch under an umbrella!

3. is Jason Donovan - too many broken hearts

1. Is it Black Box - Ride on time?
2. Bangles - Eternal Flame.
3. Something got a hold on my heart - Gene Pitney
4. Is Kylie but can’t quite get song to play enough in my head (because Jason Donovan is trying to Earwig me with too many hearts!)

This track has been ear wigging me all week because someone with that name has started at work...

When he saw her getting off the bus
It seemed to wipe away the years

Was the 80s cover of Something's gotten hold of my heart by Marc Almond ?

Honey - is your song Level 42 As
if we were still lovers

Human league not level 42

Is the Human League one Louise?

Yes it’s Human League’s Louise. Driven me crazy this week!

It's a bit of a dreary one for an ear worm, Honey

And finally, couldn’t resist…
Teach me to harvest, I want you to grow in my hand

Alison Moyet, love resurrection

11a) And I wondered was I destined to spend my life alone
Oh girl you answered my question
This time it's working you've given me new hope

Rogue, Climie Fisher, Love changes

14 is poison by Alice Cooper. Shame on you, Rogue. Shame.

17 - The Living Years, Mike and the Mechanics

Bugger. Missed Shiny had got that already

With Gene Pitney. Can't stand his Whiny Voice.

14. I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop

Poison? Poison running through my veins 🤣
Can't remember artist, heavy rockers

Oh pipped by Dexter😳

16 is Never stop me from loving you by Sonia.

I know it’s a dull Earwig but it’s been playing in my head all week!

This has been my ear worm this week. It popped into my head in Aldi watching the cashier throwing my shopping around, he was so fast my joint of beef fell on the floor I couldn't keep up 😬 I was not impressed

As the midnight moon
Was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees

80's
