You can look at the menu but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushions, but you can't have a seat

Study your face and fade the frame
Too close for comfort now
We can recall the harmony
That lingered but turned sour

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly

Words can make you pay and pay
Four-letter words I cannot say

Boom wowfudge Grin

Courtesy of Absolute 80s the other day, remembered loving the song but couldnt name the band!

wowfudge · 01/06/2020 21:51

NeedToKnow Tom Tom Club but I don't know the name of the song. I could do a passable rendition of it if necessary!

Honeyroar · 01/06/2020 21:53

@NeedToKnow101 was that called Words? Or What are Words Worth? No idea who sang it though!

Hide and seek
I play along while rushing 'cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon

That was very quick, Honey

I started to fall
And suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass
It stuck to my coat
