That's why I didn't... nor did I say 'as the miller told his tale'
pllb- spot on, but points deducted for misspelling the band's name...0 -

It's one of the only songs of theirs I know well - a friend made me a 'so you're leaving essex and moving to london' cd with this on it - 'down in the tube station at midnight' - it was 'the smell of' and 'it blended' that gave you away...0 -
OK, how about rather than this first word of line format, a memorable phrase from a song instead?
I'll start with an easy one:
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar, 'cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire0 -

Ah I deliberated about putting too many words in (note to self - must try harder)0 -

Which one of those is supposed to provide the shock value, I wonder
But how would they have her address? They only took the keys...0 -

Now this is one of those Lycra clad Yankee power rock bands isn't it, can't place it though :?0 -

Greg66 wrote:True, but they say:

But but but they'd have to try every house on that line of the tube! It's just not feasible... he'd have made it home before they figured out which one it was.
Maybe they meant that the wine will fall flat as a gift now that he's been mugged (only for keys) and she's been attacked... sparkling wine with curry is just wrong, so it can't be that...0 -

OK so my guess is Whitesnake (or Aerosmith), not my cuppa really so could be either/neither. Off home now, have a good weekend!0 -

More prosaic, I suspect:
- they nicked his wallet with id in it. But there wasn't room to add a verse explaining the intricacies of this detail
- "wine" scans better in that line than "champagne", "prosecco", "cava" "sparkling chardonnay" etc...0 -
It was indeed Aerosmith. I like them, I do.
Oh and yours is that hard-fi rubbish, although an appropriate time of the week to do it!
Working all week for what? Well, money, presumably. If it's voluntary you should quit.0 -

There should, perhaps, have been a greater hint of sarcasm in my wine explanation...
Well, they should have thought that through. Some of us demand clarity. And really, shouldn't he be on his way home to warn his wife instead of moping? This is the problem with public transport....0 -
Anyhow.

No, I believe it was the moody blues, and further points deducted for 'knights' as opposed to 'nights'...0 -

3 lads from Woking in 1978. Had any of them even seen a bottle of wine? Beer all the way.
That is one of my favourite songs though. I'm always struck by the fact they don't have a microwave to reheat the curry, which is just my strange mind I think.
"I glanced back at my life" implies he's in no state to be able to go home...0 -
