Just move yourself
And glide like a 747
And lose yourself
In the sky

@Honeyroar

...Grant!

Baby don’t understand
Why we can’t just hold on
To each other’s hand

Mr mister, Broken wings

New york, New York, New York,

Not LL Cool J:
“The ladies love me girls adore me I mean even the ones that never saw me like the way that I rhyme in a show, the reason why man I don’t know..”

Tell me please
Cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child
Beginning to grow

Abba - The Name of the Game

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this

Cutting crew. Died in your arms tonight.

LadyGAgain · 09/06/2020 08:15

Electric eyes that you can't ignore.
And passion burns you like never before.

I don’t think anyone got this from earlier:

You burn in the breadline and ribbons and all

Can’t post the next line as it gives away the title but here’s a line from elsewhere in the song - probably a more recognisable line:

Chill will wake you, high and dry, you'll wonder why

Iggi999 · 09/06/2020 09:30

Not done one for ages but was humming this (non) classic:

Benny was a boy I met while walking home one day
He made me forget my marbles
He said he had another game to play.
One thing led to another
Now what more can I say?
Just one of the reasons why I got him by my side today.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 09/06/2020 09:36

What about me, well, I'll find someone
That's not going cheap in the sales
