Awwww😞

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 22/07/2020 12:28

It usually happens to me @Willow2017.

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 22/07/2020 12:28

You spelt it right though and I didn’t so we can call it a draw!

As I reflect on all my childhood dreams
My ideas of love weren’t as foolish as they seemed

Morning!

Don't back date it

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 22/07/2020 13:36

This one seems to be proving tricky so I’m going to give a huge, huge clue which I’m sure will make it instantly guessable if you know the song at all.

The title of the song is the same as the name of the group...
He came a long time ago
He came here in the winter snow
Now it's colder every day
But she's still dreaming through the summer
And she's hoping through the spring
She says she's got no time for winter nights
She doesn't notice as the days grow colder
She can't remember getting any older

Fleamaker123 · 22/07/2020 13:39

@NeedToKnow101

Don't backdate it

Talk Talk, life's what you make it
Loved that song!

Honeyroar · 22/07/2020 13:43

Fleamaker123 · 22/07/2020 14:20

@NeedToKnow101
Oh dear think the fire's fizzled out...
It sounds familiar though.. Let me think.

NeedToKnow101 · 22/07/2020 14:29

@Fleamaker123 - I'll add some.. the clue is in your performance today Grin..

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the
Middle of my head
