So you like your soft rock then Jason? Think I might have to change the theme:

I'm so tired I can hardly think
So I feel instead and let you loose
Inside my head (inside my head)
I hear you yelling it to me
Spelling it out to me
When I thought I came from nowhere I came from
Everywhere instead (everywhere instead)

[jasongray5]

So you like your soft rock then Jason? Think I might have to change the theme:

Number one with a bullet, Im a power pack

And I'm beating the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap

Their music can often be heard blasting from my workshop :o :o

Man on the moon by a Sarf Efriken group from the early 80's who went by the name of Ballyhoo. It can be found on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irma7Q4X-NU , but I couldn't find the Lyrics anywhere on the net.

[Bonzo]

Oooh that was hard.

I even dug out a vintage number by Peter Sarstedt ( Where do you go to my lovely ) because i thought i recognised some of the lyric.

I know 1969 :eek: Can't believe even admitting I own a copy of that :o :o

It's official. I am an anorak geek :D

[Land Locked]

Sorry gents, I didn't mean to make it impossible.

Try this, way more mainstream:

But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day youll return to
Your valleys and your farms

Edit: I should be worrying about making space in the workshop, not playing lyrics games. My good fortune makes it too damn cold to be outside now.
