To kick us off, who sang this: "You can have a steam train if you just lay down your tracks".

"Eyeholes in a paper bag, greatest lay he ever had"

Sorry to lower the tone!

My home my friends and you
I watch them fade but what can I do?

Jessicatmagnificat · 31/03/2007 09:38

Dustystar: I want to play but I need a clue. In the meantime, I will add one of my own: "And all the world is biscuit shaped/It's just for me to feed my face..."

One for those who remember the early 80s!

'...If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...'

paulaplumpbottom · 31/03/2007 09:51

senses working overtime -XCT?

paulaplumpbottom · 31/03/2007 09:55

A sort of Homecoming U2

paulaplumpbottom · 31/03/2007 09:55

I tried this one earlier but I'll try again

I've got my hush-puppies on,
I guess I never was meant for
glitter rock and roll.

pirategirl · 31/03/2007 10:02

no PPB not a sort of Homecoming, but that is such a great song, its another one by them

Jessicatmagnificat · 31/03/2007 10:02

Paula: Yours had me totally stumped, so I asked DH who is a music geek, and he didn't know either. So I confess I googled it, and am none the wiser. Who is Jimmy Buffett? What kind of music?
