Tonight..a revelation...
For at least 30 years I was picturing KNIGHTS wearing white satin as they rode their never ending journey on horseback.

Tonight I realised the truth Grin Blush

My kids are not (rightly) taking the piss out of me!

I've just put on Dawn is a feeling

GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman · 03/05/2019 22:04

Glad it wasn't just me!
DH disillusioned me when I was, oh, dunno, about 25. He thought it was hysterical that I'd had visions of knights in white...

I always thought Wichita Lineman was about cricket

StealthPolarBear · 03/05/2019 22:11

Yes that does sound right me too, without realising :o
Cricket has a linesman, right?
I love that song

TheGodmother · 03/05/2019 22:13

Oh my fucking god! I'm 55 how did I not work that out!
Nights in white satin 🙀

Not Knights in white satin coming to the rescue!!

Mind blown!!!

Nousernameforme · 03/05/2019 22:18

Another one for knights here.

I wonder if there is a word for an unconnected group of people making the same mistake.

Justkeeprollingalong · 03/05/2019 22:30

It's nights not knights? Are you sure? Good god, we are gobsmacked (me 63, husband 69) 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️

@SrSteveOskowski did you draw that? Good effort!!

SrSteveOskowski · 03/05/2019 23:22

God no! I googled it Grin

Justkeeprollingalong · 03/05/2019 23:25

😂

I used to think it was knights too, when I was little.

When I read the lyrics in the cassette case and saw that it was 'Nights' I started asking probing questions. My parents quickly stopped listening to it Grin.

What????
I thought it was knights in white satin too.
You learn something every day.

I dimly remember Justin Hayward on TOTP in a white satin top/robe thing so that's my defense.

Has anyone listened to the album it's from? It's really quite good

Many , many times
It’s my Dh favourite.
I loved that song but when you’ve heard it for the millionth time ......

megrichardson · 04/05/2019 07:09

I thought it was Knights too.

And I wonder what the truth was that he couldn't say any more about?

Lemonsquinky · 04/05/2019 07:22

I thought it was knights too.🤦🏻‍♀️

SallyCinnamon3009 · 04/05/2019 07:25

Wait it's not Knights?

jacksonmaine · 04/05/2019 07:27

Yep me too! When I found out the truth it I was mildly diagusted!Smile - Dirty buggers!

CigarsofthePharoahs · 04/05/2019 08:05

I too thought it was knights for a long time.

Fiontar649 · 04/05/2019 08:10

It's a perfume isn't it? I think the knight was on the ad...

Fiontar649 · 04/05/2019 08:13

Ha! I clearly mis-remembered it, and superimposed the knight

skunkatanka · 04/05/2019 08:28

Knights? Nights?

Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore....

marvellousnightforamooncup · 04/05/2019 09:35

I know it's nights but still picture knights every time I hear it.

MadameJosephine · 04/05/2019 09:40

I thought you’d spelled it wrong in your title!

Mind blown Shock
