I know it's gonna last forever

Chicago. Hard habit to break
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 28/06/2020 21:03

We came out of it naturally the worst
Beaten and bloody and I was sick down my shirt

Late 70s

@Honeyroar

I’ve turned a girl into a heaving senseless wreck Made the captain of a ship dance off his deck I’ve made an old man jump to his feet

(over here @singingBabooshkabadly!)

I am the beat

She smells like a cat and the neighbours she sickens

Honeyroar · 28/06/2020 21:10

Yes Prosecco it’s Chicago.

And yes @BattyBettysBiccy it is the Beat but it was guessed a bit back.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies you’re picking some rank lyrics tonight! 🥴

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 28/06/2020 21:30

Three from the 90s:

She stops for a coffee she smiles at the waiter
He winks at his friends and they laugh at her later.

There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It’s that time of year again

Cause even her smile looks like a frown.
She's seen her share of devils in this angel town.

Is the first one Common People by Pulp @Singingbabooshka?

CrepuscularCritter · 28/06/2020 21:58

A bit more from my earlier one:

Chapter One - We didn't really get along

Chapter Two - I think I fell in love with you

You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three

But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four, Five and Six

1983

CoffeeBeansGalore · 28/06/2020 22:01

@CrepuscularCritter Is that The Book of Love?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 28/06/2020 22:04

A few more lines of mine ftom upthread

And maybe you're gonna change my life around

You came to me when I was lonely and no one cared
You made me see that I was only, just runnin' scared
I saw your face and somethin' told me, you were the one
You smiled at me and now I see: my life's begun

@CrepuscularCritter that’s Every Day I Write the Book by Elvis Costello.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 28/06/2020 22:19

@xsquared - sorry, not Pulp. It does sound like it could be.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 28/06/2020 22:33
