@VictoriousSockPuppet - I liked Prosecco too! Change it back or your previous victories will be lost!

Grin Sorry, needtoknow, it was time for a change.

Confident Victorious will soon start racking up the successes without relying on historical triumphs

70s
You danced for me in your bare feet
That mellow afternoon

80s
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan

90s
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me

I know you're not good for me,
but free of you I'll never be, no
Each night as I sleep,
into my heart you creep
Originally 60s, but covers in 70s & 90s

Looks at @VictoriousSockPuppet. Shakes head sadly...

Sometimes strolled hand in hand with love
Everybody's been there
