I voted for dross I knew or songs with cute little titles. I googled passengers just to check he didn’t write the iggy pop original and found I knew it but thankfully have now forgotten it again. I’m sure I used to like some Elton John. The rolling like thunder is a favourite line it conjures up nothing even vaguely sensual, makes me chortle

There's nothing in the actual song though to explain why it is that 'it' is called 'the blues'. And in the title, he does allege that he's going to have a 'guess' at it, but he never does.

54 responses to group A. So it's a more 'popular' deathmatch than that one with grasses in it, anyway.

I used to think it was a subtle wrist, not like one of those shouty types

Can you keep the noise down?
Soz, it wasn't me. It was my unsubtle wrists.

It's a trade-off at that age. You go blind, but your wrists get supple.
