I think so ... I can hear Jarvis cocker singing that line
You're right.

I just cracked and googled so I can't post.
But it is pulp.
From an album I had and used to listen to constantly.
I am shamed 😳😔😭

I don't think I have any points to be wiped as you wiped them very recently
It's good to be thorough!

Let me let you in on a little secret, goodydudes.
whispers EVERYONE except me is down on points always.
Learn to accept it.

There are lots outstanding if you're in a guessy mood

FlouncingBabooshka · 19/01/2022 23:18

Was there a plup one?
And I missed it???????

That’s not all you missed Rogue…

The Pulp one was one side of a double A single - but it was the side that didn’t get as much radio play. It’s a great song though…

Thank you for posting the KB one Rogue - it’s Houdini.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 20/01/2022 10:39

I was struggling with the outstanding ones @Rogue1001, have no idea what's left now!

Rogue1001 · 20/01/2022 10:43

I'll add more lyrics to the outstanding ones when I've got some time

shinynewapple22 · 20/01/2022 12:10

My un-guessed one on telephone theme was 5705 by City Boy. CBA to repost !

Iggi999 · 20/01/2022 13:46

Oh I remember that song!
"Why do you keep me hanging, on the line" type of thing. Even then I thought it seemed a very short phone number!

@anothersmahedmug

We'd like to go to town but we can't risk it
Is this Mis-shapes? If that's the right name, track 1 of Different Class?

Rhymes with broken biscuits I think!

Rogue1001 · 20/01/2022 18:38

More lyrics for my outstanding ones:-
I must have time for the pick up
The best that I can do
Is tell you tomorrow, yeah
'Cause if I do the job it's gonna cause me sorrow
70s

It's gonna be rougher, rough, it's gonna be tougher, tough
But I won't be the one, oh no no who's gonna suffer
70s. I think I said it was 80s

Rogue1001 · 20/01/2022 18:42

Hit post too early.

There was also

You won't suffer in silence (suffer)
You're a talent, you know that I've noticed (I've noticed)
You'd like to be a legend
80s
