Rock n Roll Haikus

‘Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again’

Peel my lids open
Send your name heavenwards
Stick on some warpaint
(1968)

Adding the subsequent lines = extra points to you Mr R! 😊

Chillin’ til lunchtime
Still there when the sun goes down
Mesmerised by boats

‘Because you know I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble’

And so you should!! Honestly mate, my pleasure: I've been having fun!

Correct, Dave - top man!!

Lower frequencies
And attenuated highs
Are what I’m into

'Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start'

Coldplay yes, Yellow I'm afraid not - so close!

(Best misheard lyric ever - will now never unhear this!)

Who coined the phrase Conscious Uncoupling (and wrote the lyrics to this song)? :)

It’s difficult, agreed:
Conscious uncoupling is sad.
We should reconvene

‘I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now’

Love this technique! Today's clue may have been more popular with those stayed at home and wallowed :)

An 80’s one for you @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

Pissed-up but content
I’m no longer quite so chuffed
Hate employment too

‘Please could you stop the noise?
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken
Voices in my head’

(What’s this?) was an extra clue 😉

…is the right answer! Thanks for playing 😊

It was a tricky one today Dave. Thanks for sending for reinforcements - looks like it worked!

‘What’s this?’ 👆

Polite request: shush!
I could use some respite from
Egg cacophony

Dave, Spot on! Well done - thanks for making my day! ☺️

You were serving drinks
Upon our first encounter
Remember that, luv.

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk

Clammy hands, sore limbs
Homemade pasta was dodgy
Jumper in the wash

My distinctive gait
Betrays my way with ladies
Can’t chat; I’m busy
