Who would be the fool to take you?
Be more than just kind
Step into a life of maybe
Love is hard to find

It’s time
To come together
It’s up to you
What’s your pleasure

Honey is it the Rain by Oran 'Juice' Jones?

NeedToKnow101 · 28/04/2021 06:13

Grrrr, missed loads of lyrics with my early night.. So glad it's raining Honey keep us updated, and don't let your boss take the piss..

  1. Humidity is rising (uh rising), barometer's getting low (oh low, girl)
80s
  1. Walking down the street, kicking cans
Looking at the Billboard, oh so bland Summing up the people, checking out the race Doing what I'm doing, feeling out of place. 80s
  1. Magic mushrooms out of dreams,
70s a 'special' omelette coming right up for whoever gets this one...
  1. Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown Like a dog without a bone An actor out alone 70s

I mean Pah! Blush

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 28/04/2021 18:15

Oh I do cheese too. Did a whole quarter of Danish Blue in one sitting the other night. No biscuits, just Danish Blue.
I'm hardcore, me.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 28/04/2021 23:04

@Honeyroar

I’ve never quite been able to work out quite what a tinkly laugh actually is. And apparently I have a loud, dirty laugh, so I’m miles out!

I know we should just work those hours. We both know. It’s more for each other really - we’d both be left with a solo shitshow if we left the other on their own to cope..

I know I'm way behind (just catchingup now), but just to say honey, I did picture you with a dirty laugh!

We've had your rain. I hope the fires are out, although you might have posted about it and I've not got there yet

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 28/04/2021 23:17

There seem to be lots of ungot lyrics, but my head is all over the place tonight so I can't concentrate. Sorry!

Glad you've had rain honey. Hope it puts those fires out.

Hugs to all and g'daaay to needtoknow

Honeyroar · 29/04/2021 07:03

Thanks Rogue. The fires are officially out according to the fire dept. They’re just monitoring the peat for a couple of days in case of any smouldering but hopefully the rain was enough

You. Are. Wild. It's official!!
NeedToKnow101 · 29/04/2021 07:26

G'daay my possums and glad to hear about the fires Honey. Fingers crossed they stay out.

Still two of mine outstanding.. at least one is gettable.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 29/04/2021 08:58

I know I've no right to ask, but anyone with lyrics outstanding would be doing a great kindness by reposting them

Honeyroar · 29/04/2021 16:54

Reposting my two outstanding ones-
Added a line to help.

Hey baby what’s your name?
Is it a Mrs or is it a miss? Eh?
If you’re by yourself I’d like to take you for a ride
We could check the scene and we could reggae down
(80s)

Just walking along
My clothes are soaked right through to the skin
I haven’t a doubt
This is what life’s all about
(80s crazy group with loose pants...)

NeedToKnow101 · 29/04/2021 18:17

My latest outstanding ones (with extra clues) are:

Walking down the street, kicking cans
Looking at the Billboard, oh so bland
Summing up the people, checking out the race
Doing what I'm doing, feeling out of place.
80s statuesque iconic diva

Magic mushrooms out of dreams,
70s kind of psychedelic weather forecast.. in a tin...

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 29/04/2021 18:18

That first one is REALLY bugging me cos I can hear it being sung in my head. I always thought he sang 'missy' rather than 'miss, eh?' But that makes more sense.
I'm going to kick myself.
