@Rogue1001

Is that all cried out, flea? Alison moyet

Hope that's not a comment on your Christmas

Correct Rogue

No, nothing to do with Christmas!
Had a singalong to it earlier

shinynewapple21 · 27/12/2021 21:38

Correct to King and FGTH @Fleamaker123

There's still one of mine not guessed Rogue.

@shinynewapple21

The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere Just going round and round, oh Playground kids and creaking swings Lost laughter in the breeze

80s

This one still unguessed

Ah. I feel like I know this.

Can't get to it though. How annoying. aims a few petulant kicks at random ankles in a somewhat petulant fashion

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 29/12/2021 10:29

Can anyone get the one about the steam train, I can't think what it is!

shinynewapple21 · 29/12/2021 17:54

Here's another verse

Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious

Honeyroar · 29/12/2021 19:59

I feel like I should know it, but I don’t!

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 29/12/2021 21:20

Is it Ernie the fastest milkman in west?!

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 29/12/2021 21:26

Actually think that was 70s!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 29/12/2021 23:30

Definitely not Ernie!

That's the jam

Town called malice

shinynewapple21 · 30/12/2021 15:41

Lol @TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky definitely not!

Yes Rogue - correct with The Jam

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 30/12/2021 21:30

Grin I didn't recognise those lyrics at all from A town called Malice!

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 30/12/2021 21:40

And we can act like we come
From out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

80s

Honeyroar · 30/12/2021 22:42

Is that Men without hats? The safety dance?

TheresAStarmanWaitingInTheSky · 30/12/2021 22:50

It is @Honeyroar, well done!

It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say
