In the maritime sailors' cathedral

You are correct!
Gordon Leftfoot is a favorite of mine.
Your turn.

Gordon Leftfoot?

Post by **commodoreann** » Tue Jul 04, 2017 7:35 pm

His name is Gordon Lightfoot. Peter and I always joke about his name.

Well, we think it is funny.

I knew who you meant. I thought maybe autocorrect had struck again. Then again, why would autocorrect change Lightfoot to Leftfoot?

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights

Yay. Over to you Jill.

Thank you Barbara - not often that I recognise a lyric straight away, I usually have to do some ‘ finking ‘.

It’s Wimbledon, so that now means the inevitable grunting and screeching from some of the female competitors.

With that in mind, I have chosen this song, not for the lyrics but for the song title.

This is the beginning of the chorus/refrain.

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms

Jill · Post by **Jill** » Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:30 pm

Here's a little help.

This is the beginning of the first verse - two words of the three word song title are contained in there somewhere. Think about why I chose this song title.

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world

The song was released on an album in 1990 and was written and performed by an English electronic band from Basildon, Essex.

The song won Best British Single at the 1991 British Awards.

I guarantee that you will all have heard of this group. At the moment, it's 40 love to Jill, please don't let her make it, Game, Set and Match. She'll be unbearable.

Love from,
Mb - a tennis widower.

I love a puzzle, but this one has me stumped. I presume one of the words in the title is break, but I can't figure out the other one and anyway, I can't think of any songs with the word break in the title.

I think the 1990s is possible the worst decade for me in terms of song recognition. Past the point where I listened to pop music to any great extent and before the stage that my kids were really into music.

I'll probably kick myself when I hear the title.

After I posted the above, it occurred to me that the song could be Silence Is Golden.

Then I realised that (a) the song was much earlier than 1991, (b) those words don't appear nowhere in the song and (c) the word is does not appear anywhere in the lines you quoted.

Also, I think it was the Tremeloes who performed Silence Is Golden (although I could be wrong) and the chances are they are from nowhere near Basildon and can hardly be described as electronic.

I know the song (by the lyrics) - recognised it straight away and I know the band. Just can't remember the title without looking it up so I'm a bit stumped too.

The Tremeloes? Silence is Golden? Paul! “ You can’t be serious?”

Paul, ignore Jill, she’s been disqualified for wearing pink knickers and therefore, contravening the strict Wimbledon Dress Code.

For the record, we both loved your explanations

and actually you are getting warm with the Silence is Golden idea as the word silence is part of the song title.

Mmmm ...

Plummy, see if this jogs your memory; the group is of course Depeche Mode and the three word song title is, ‘ xxxxx The Silence ‘.

The score between Paul and Plummy is … Deuce.

The two words I can think of are either "Break" or "Enjoy" - is it either of those?

Definitely one of them - let's look at the scoreboard.

Advantage Plummy.

A vital point for Plummy.

Can he hold his serve ...?

Coaching from the sidelines is not allowed but then, I'm a law unto myself.

As Jill dislikes unnecessary sound effects during a game, which song title would she prefer? Break The Silence or Enjoy The Silence?

plummy · Post by **plummy** » Mon Jul 10, 2017 8:10 am

Cutting to the chase as they say in the movies I have two formal guesses..
First: Break the Silence?

if that is wrong, my second guess is:

Enjoy the Silence

I'm away from lunch time today until Thursday lunch so if either of they are correct it may be a while before I can post a new one

Oh! Plummy's first serve is way out!

Can he hold his second serve? Oh! It's an Ace!

Game, Set and Match to Plummy.

A special mention to Plummy's gallant opponent, Paul, who carried on playing even though he was injured.

Normal service on this thread has now been resumed.

Your turn Plummy.

Wasn't on line yesterday, but knew the Depeche Mode song from Jill (and I suspect Dave Wave did too)

I think this is Road to Hell?

Wolfmiester · Post by **Wolfmiester** » Wed Jul 12, 2017 10:49 am

As Dave is away, and I know it was Road to Hell (double checked) .. I'll start the next one ...

"Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thing"

that should get a few of you going ...

Jill · Post by **Jill** » Wed Jul 12, 2017 9:48 pm

Steve, I think by your hints, that this might be Get On Up or possibly Get on up like a sex machine? ( James Brown )

Wolfmiester · Post by **Wolfmiester** » Thu Jul 13, 2017 6:28 am

Correct Jill =D>

plummy · Post by **plummy** » Thu Jul 13, 2017 9:08 am

Road to Hell (Part II) would be the full correct title Wolfie - but you were plenty near enough
