Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a motherfucker like that
With a gat that's pointed at yo ass
So give it up smooth

38
Run along to school,
No child of mine grows up a fool,
Run along to school.

You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong

In the street a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
70s

You say we're fantastic
But still we don't head the bill
70s

38 Run along to school, No child of mine grows up a fool, Run along to school.

Wham or madness if anyone need a suggestion

a. You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong

Hey Mickey -Toni Basil

e. Nothing you can say
But you can learn how to play the game
60s

All you need is love - The Beatles

"If you wanna squeal", said the F.B.I.
"We can make a deal, make it worth your while"

Hmmm. Rather less than I thought (and quite a few were got very quickly, so even few)

But, the last ones outstanding from the last thread:

Second Wind:
All 80s unless stated otherwise:

a. You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong

b. In the street a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
70s

c. Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need
There's no future
No future
No future for you
70s

d. You say we're fantastic
But still we don't head the bill
70s

e. Nothing you can say
But you can learn how to play the game
60s

woefully few!

Sorry to promise so much and deliver so little!

A. Mickey - Toni Basil C. Sex Pistols - God Save the Queen D. Wow - Kate Bush

"If you wanna squeal", said the F.B.I. "We can make a deal, make it worth your while" Stool Pigeon, KC and the Sunshine Band - needtoknow

Stool Pigeon was Kid Creole and the Coconuts

Hmmm I'm sure I said KC and the C (meaning Coconuts) as I couldn't be arsed to write the whole band name out. I'll pedantically go back and check.

Yes Dexter I wrote "Stool pigeon KC and the C." Just lazy shorthand.
Apology accepted in advance 🤪

And KC was for Kid Creole. Obviously it's clarified now 😂😂😂

Apologise?! Moi?!!! I never apologise!!

Morning all

Thank you for the huge flurry Rogue. Most, I am ashamed to say, flummoxed me. In my defence I had been rather tired.
After this week things will calm down & I will post more.

See you later all 😊

Afternoon Coffee, it was more of a once in a lifetime devastatingly unforgettable snowstorm than a flurry to be fair.

Evening all

Hope you've all been enjoying the sunshine ☀️

You got sirens for a welcome
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing
While you're dancing in the rain
80s

There's a message in the wild
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
80s

She's got a heart of gold, she'd never let me down
But you're the one that always turns me on
You keep me comin' 'round
I know her love is true
80s

Hey yeah yeah
I was walking down the street (doo waddy wah)
When this boy started following me (oh yeah)
Now I ignored all the things he said (doo wady wah)…
80s

I met you in a cave, you were painting buffalo
I said I'd be your slave, follow wherever you go
That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars
You fell asleep, I stayed awake and watched the passing cars
80s
