Afternoon All

This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies

And I'm telling this story
In a faraway sea
Sipping down raki
And reading Maynard Keynes
80s

I love Dignity too. Correct for Yazoo/Flying Pickets. Is Midgereturns you too?

midgedude · 06/06/2021 17:22

I was thinking about name changes but it got complicated

Honeyroar · 06/06/2021 17:57

I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it’s time for siesta
You can watch them go by

La Isla Bonita - Madonna.

I've thought about a name change too, but I feel disloyal to Dexter (who actually hasn't been locked in the shed for ages)

Is this pet shop boys ? West end girls ?
shinynewapple21 · 06/06/2021 18:35

Some easy songs with an easy link

Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together
80s

I said, baby, I just want you back, and I want you to stay
80s

My job is very boring
I'm an office clerk
80s

I am flying
Passing high clouds
To be near you
To be free
70s I think

A longing for
Some fresher feeling
Belonging
Or just forever kneeling
80s
