I'm happy to hear anything from their back catalogue EXCEPT My Baby's Taking Me Home. Please give it a rest

I have a few songs in common with you Bristols.
I think Russell said they'd pick around 21 or 22 songs for this tour, so you still have a few left to choose!

Of course, any Sparks song would do, and my ideal setlist would be 10-hour long anyway... ;)

-Do things my own way
-Dick around
-The Girl is crying in her latte
-So important
-Aeroflot
-Self-effacing
-I married myself
-Tryouts for the human race
-Moon over Kentucky
-Here in heaven
-Don't shoot me
-Missionary position
-Tsui Hark
-All you ever think about is sex
-We love each other so much (sung by Russell only, just because)
-Don't leave me alone with her
-Nicotina
-Under the table with her
-I bought the Mississippi river
-Forever young
-The scene
-Good morning

Jansport Backpack
A Little Bit Of Light Banter
Occupation
I Thought I Told You To Wait In The Car
Left Out In The Cold
Upstairs
The Lady Is Lingering
Fletcher Honorama
It's A Knockoff
Drowned In A Sea Of Tears
What The Hell Is It This Time?
Thanks But No Thanks
Metaphor
Ugly Guys With Beautiful Girls
Tryouts For The Human Race
This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us
Gee, That Was Fun

I reckon we're going to get

Running up a tab
My devotion
Drowning in a sea of tears
A little bit of light banter, (last song before encore)
Lord have mercy (to close)
so may we start
Goofing Off
Music that you can dance to
This town

I'd love

Simple ballet
This is the renaissance
Sherlock Holmes
The decline and fall of me
Pulling rabbits
Ladies
The ghost of Liberace
Calm before the storm
Angels

The rest is anyone's guess but I hope they skip angst in my pants and my baby's taking me home this tour !

I want them to do A Little Bit of Light Banter followed by Missionary Position.

I also want them to do I Bought the Mississippi River followed by I-405 Rules.

Ooooooh, I like your wish list. I also can really live without Angst, but I will never get tired of My Baby's Taking Me Home live. I hope they drop Shopping Mall. Yes, I realize it gets Ron in front of a microphone, but it just seems like a gimmick. They could do This Angry Young Man with Ron singing - I like his version more than Russell's.

Another possibility is Ron doing his spoken version of 'Suburban Homeboy'
