BlushingCaligula · 27/10/2023 21:51

Well done Rogue

BlushingCaligula · 27/10/2023 21:53
  1. So I lay down in the darkness
with the beer and coffee stains

2 If you pick up on it quick
You can say you were there

3 You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong,

4 I am dying, forever crying

5 When it's over, you know
We'll both be so alone

6 I'm not the man they think I am at home

7 But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

8 Love of mine, someday you will die

9 You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright

10 You say God give me a choice

@Rogue1001MNer - you should know number 2

Rogue1001MNer · 27/10/2023 21:53

But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

This isn't monster mash is it????

Rogue1001MNer · 27/10/2023 21:54

BTW, BC, we ask people to put up the year....

No - you'll kick yourself

Rogue1001MNer · 27/10/2023 21:56

Is no 2 the damned???

It's not currently speaking to me 😳😳😳😳😳

Rogue1001MNer · 27/10/2023 21:57

BlushingCaligula · 27/10/2023 21:54

No - you'll kick yourself

Show quote history

Don't make me kick myself 😢😢😢😢

BlushingCaligula · 27/10/2023 21:57

Not the damned - it's 80s
Next line is
Again and again and again

BlushingCaligula · 27/10/2023 21:59

Including a previous line (also 80s)

I thought, "Oh God, my chance has come at last"
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

Rogue1001MNer · 27/10/2023 22:01

BlushingCaligula · 27/10/2023 21:57

Not the damned - it's 80s
Next line is
Again and again and again

Jumping someone else's train

The cure

Your clue gave it to me though.

Wouldn't have got it otherwise

This is the smiths

There is a light (that never goes out).

Should have got both of those without the help

Rogue1001MNer · 27/10/2023 22:03

I would like to do a Halloween theme/quiz night.
Is anyone up for it actually on Halloween? Or do you want weekend?

Not an awards night as we've been a bit slack but thought it might be fun.

Honeyroar · 27/10/2023 22:07

On Halloween please. I’m in for a crazy busy weekend.

BlushingCaligula · 27/10/2023 22:07

Well done - just these three left

8 Love of mine, someday you will die (2005 - way out of my normal range)

9 You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright (1986)

10 You say God give me a choice (1978)
