And finally some way easier ones
There is a theme of sorts

1
All I know is that to me
You look like your lots of fun

2.. sorry but it’s on theme
If you say that you are mine
I’ll be here till the end of time

3
Now there’s trouble bussin in from outta state
And the DA can’t get no relief

4
Oh your hair is beautiful

5
Pack of party poppers
That pop in the night

  1. Should I stay or should I go, the clash.
  1. Atomic. Blondie
RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 15/05/2021 19:28

I'm afraid from all that fantastic offering, they were the only 2 I knew straight away, although I also recognised the 2 needtoknow got.

Sorry midge. Feel I've rather let you down

NeedToKnow101 · 15/05/2021 19:29

Lol I missed the Clash again! And one of my favourite Blondie songs 😂.. I blame the wine multitasking... my phone just autowrote militiaman!!

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 15/05/2021 19:32

@midgedude

And for a slightly harder theme. It’s got two parts

Very late 70s

I came in here for a special offer
A guaranteed personality

Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl

She said hey come here daddy
I ain’t never coming back

The easy one to get you started
The ice age is coming the suns zooming in
Meltdown expected the wheat is growing thin

For this one, the last one (that you say is easy) there's a damned song called i just can't be happy today and there's a spoken bit in the middle that goes - They're closing the schools, they're burning the books The church is in ruins, the priests hung on hooks The radio's on ice The telly been banned The army's in power The devil commands.

So I know thats NOT the lyric you posted, but what you posted had a similar vibe

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 15/05/2021 19:35

@midgedude

All well otherwise ... indeed rather spoilt a lovely day! That's life

Dies wine really help headache though?

Tbh, no. But after 2 or 3 glasses, you'll find you stop caring!

No excuses, needtoknow. You had a clear run.

Midge, I'm always quite nervous of your themes.

I'm sure I know no 3 from the last set, but can't quite get there. I can't hear it in my head. Soooo annoying!

A very true word need to know

Very very true!

Off for a walk

NeedToKnow101 · 15/05/2021 19:47

My also rather lovely day has been spoilt by the chance i took hanging my washing on the line. I was feeling lucky. It's absolutely pee-ing down.

Honeyroar · 15/05/2021 19:48

Evening everyone! Looks like I’ve turned up late to the party as usual. Are there any left to guess?

shinynewapple21 · 15/05/2021 19:53

Evening everyone Smile seem to not have properly taken part in this for ages. I only seem to know the lyrics others have got (Blondie this time)

Must sort out some lyrics of my own to post .

Interested to see how Rogue copies and pastes her lyrics from google on computer . I just use my phone , no idea how to c&p so I'm always clicking between one screen to another to type it out with my thumbs! Do others do this or use c&p? And if so, how do you c&p on fairly old iPhone?

NeedToKnow101 · 15/05/2021 20:00

Honey there's quite a few of Midge's lyrics left.

Flea, I'm on a very old iPhone. You just kind of press down on a word or a line, then you can expand your selection and copy what you want.

NeedToKnow101 · 15/05/2021 20:00

When I said Flea, I meant Shiny! 😂😂

shinynewapple21 · 15/05/2021 20:03

How would you then paste into MN?

NeedToKnow101 · 15/05/2021 20:03

Shiny I can bear the thought of your typing out lyrics when it's so easy to Copy and Paste!

shinynewapple21 · 15/05/2021 20:03

I do need! 28 threads of typing everything out!

NeedToKnow101 · 15/05/2021 20:05

@shinynewapple21

How would you then paste into MN?
You just kind of press into the white box (where you write), and the Paste option comes up. Try it now!

shinynewapple21 · 15/05/2021 20:08

It started straight off, "coming here is Hell"
That's his first words, we asked what he meant
He said, "Where you from?" we told him a lot
We take a holiday, is this what you want?
