None of these have been got

All 80s, some extra lines

The first line is
I made my selection from the lonely hit parade
In the .......

So I woke up in....
With a headache and a heartache and a handful of pills

Although this one had been released many times

A previous verse ends
A flibbitgibbet , a will o the wisp, a clown

She’s a headache she’s an angel she’s a girl

And no one like this band
An easier bit

Whatever happened to pillow fights
Whatever happened to jeans so tight, Friday nights

Curling tongs , Mogadons
I got a headache baby don’t take so long

And I am not sure this was a single

To your credit to the 30 faces you created
To your headache to the shape of the 1980s
I’m glad we don’t hear you any more
I’m tired of fighting in your fashion war

@WhipperSnapperSteve

Rogue - your #4 is Poison Arrow by ABC?

It's me not Rogue, but correct ✅.. see if you can get my standalone one Steve ..

@RogueMNerKnowsNoShame

I can't c&p on my phone 😢

I have to use the desk top comp and a 🐁

Are you sure you can't C&P? It would make your life so much easier..

Interested in this thread?

Or these
The clue is 1)
appeal to rogue , it's not the dammed ( which is the default guess for any of rogues weirdos )
2) needtoknow here you are , time to make amends

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

Very late 70s

I’m all ...........
I can no longer shop happily
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

This one becomes “just another story “

My baby drive up in a .......
She said hey come here daddy
I ain’t never coming back

Oh come on you lot !

The ice age is coming the suns zooming in
Meltdown expected the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running but I have no fear as I live by the river

Copy and paste

Hold your finger on the page for at least a second
When you take it off , you get option to select all and then copy

Pop your finger in the new window for the paste option

This one?
I feel like it's Marvin Gaye but I'm sure it's not.

NeedToKnow101 · 15/05/2021 21:37

I wonder if Honey or Rogue are lurking...

midgedude · 15/05/2021 21:37

How do you get Marvin Gaye when I already told you you knew the band?????
