33 Why Don't You Say Goodbye Well There's A Light And There's A Hope Come Swing Me Baby From This Here Rope I Sold You A Lie And Prayed That Maybe Someday You'd Return It 60s

I thought this one would have been got from a later cover. And a very famous tv tune.

Do these lyrics help more (from earlier in the song)?
Why Don't You
Tell Me Lies
You Ought To

Wheels of fire Brian auger/Julie driscoll.

Theme tune to ab fab

Covered by siouxsie and the banshees

Oh men and women Here we are, caught up in this big rhythm

80s

Have just checked, this wasn't a big hit in the UK charts, I'm surprised, although it was well known in Scotland by this Scottish band. Well I know it anyway!Grin

Happy Friday x

FrankieBoyleSezLoveOneAnother · 04/02/2022 19:01

Correct! Happy Friday to you too Smile

My other one is a bit more obscure, think it charted lowish, can give you 2nd line if you like.

Yes please. It rings a distant bell.

Rogue1001MNer · 04/02/2022 19:15

So, is it another madness track????

I'll have to leave the thread.... I saw them in December

Rogue1001MNer · 04/02/2022 19:16

FrankieBoyleSezLoveOneAnother · 04/02/2022 19:23

By process of elimination I’m guessing Just Another Day?
Fleamaker123 · 04/02/2022 19:35

Well done Honeyroar 👏👏

Neighbourhood was by Space
