Looking like a lily on a lake"

I think that's Happy Talk but the only artist I know for it is Captain Sensible which is unlikey to be the original

It's from South Pacific (the musical) isn't it?

Roll the Bones album is musically very good but production is probably the worst of all of them. Hence stuff from that album is better live. Roll the Bones is off the live set list now

. Did they play it at NEC last year?

i went to sheffild last year but the setlist was probably the same, so no, they didnt play roll the bones.
in my opinion the worst production was on the presto album, although it contains some of my favourite tracks, it`s always worth buying the live albums to hear Rush at their best.

yes its happy talk from south pacific and captain sensible

Right I decided to choose a song by what came up next on my mp3 player (*)

Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday -
Watching the news and not eating your tea

(*) Disclaimer I may have skipped the odd Westlife track in the name of decency

Sorry not quite. I think the problem is that this lot are all old rockers

Hmm...I'll try to think of a clue or two.

W00t I actually got one

Only trouble is that means I have to actually think of a quote and my brain doesn't work....

I thought I heard you laughing when his mum and dad were gone

Post by **Xintyl** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 8:00 pm

I worry about you sometimes

Ghengis · Post by **Ghengis** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 6:20 am

i would like to interpret the worry as care

Bleri McThrust · Post by **Bleri McThrust** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 10:46 am

I would just like to point out that all those ageing Brittpoppers have heard the patter of tiny feet since those days

Collegien · Post by **Collegien** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 8:34 pm

Is it Tears for Fears ?

Byronis · Post by **Byronis** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 8:17 am

Post by **Xintyl** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 6:29 pm

I think Bill would have got the title there if he hadn't been far too verbose

And no, definitely not sam fox!

Byronis · Post by **Byronis** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 7:23 pm

Bah I'm obviously just living in a bygone decade by myself, time for extra lyrics I think

Well it happened years ago,
when you lived on Stanhope Road.
We listened to your sister,
when she came home from school,
cos she was two years older,
and she had boys in her room.
We listened outside and heard her.
Alright.

Ghengis · Post by **Ghengis** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 6:13 am

Rayzor · Post by **Rayzor** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 6:29 am

Dervish · Post by **Dervish** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:43 am

Post by **Xintyl** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 11:50 am

Ray gets it!

Cmon it's my first go, is it really going to be anything NOT by pulp?

Rayzor · Post by **Rayzor** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 1:44 pm

Very generous Xin

A beautiful day, we had lunch on the way
And all for under a pound, you know

100% not in my collection, its a truely awful memory from my childhood <shudder>

Question is, will anyone admit to knowing it?

Ghengis · Post by **Ghengis** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:10 pm

is it The Day We Went To Bangor?
cant remember who sang it tho.
hickory stick or something equally silly.
damned hippies should get a job and stop pretending they are making a valid musical contribution

Byronis · Post by **Byronis** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:40 pm

Day Trip To Bangor was by Fiddler's Dram.

I remember the words for the Barron Knights pisstake better though

Didn't we have a lovely time
at the office christmas party?

We finished our work
and all went berserk
and grabbed the nearest secretary

One of my all time fave quotes from any song due to the none sense made up rhyme.

The dogio and the catio are fighting on the patio
The neighbours need a hero ’cos someone’s had their stereo
