Restlessness is in my jeans

Zandathepanda · 26/07/2020 13:17

Actually I think it was ‘genes’ but I thought in was ‘jeans’ for years which gives it a different meaning Grin

I have noticed so many songs where on seeing the lyrics written out I realised I had sung the wrong words for years .

Gosh this thread has flown, I’ve missed so much!

And today the millions cry
We eat and drink
While tomorrow they die.

Honey don't go, don't leave this scene
Be out of the picture, and off of the screen
Don't let them say we told you so
They tell me you'll love me and then let me go

80's

NeedToKnow101 · 26/07/2020 14:36

People say to me just be yourself
It makes no sense to follow fashion
How could I be anybody else
I don't try, I've got no reason

NeedToKnow101 · 26/07/2020 14:41

My name is secluded, we live in a house the size of a matchbox,
Roaches live with us wall to wall,

1970s

Honeyroar · 26/07/2020 14:57

@KatherineJaneway yours is Being with you by Smokey Robinson

NeedToKnow101 · 26/07/2020 15:36

@Honeyroar - that should have been mine! I love that song.

My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me

Money's the matter
If you're in it for love
You ain't gonna get too far
1980s

xsquared · 26/07/2020 17:26

Ok I've got one.

There's a rumour going round the town
That you don't want me around.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/07/2020 17:36
  1. They say that love will come and go
    But your love's indispensible to me
    1990s

  2. I've got the stuff that you want
    I've got the thing that you need
    I've got more than enough
    To make you drop to your knees
    1990s

  3. When are you gonna come down?
    When are you going to land?
    I should have stayed on the farm
    I should have listened to my old man
    1970s

I'll add to mine..

My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
Yeah, but when our talk was through
I said, brother, if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes
