I've laid alone and cried at night
Over what love made me do
And the loved ones who let me down

If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token

Yes @VictoriousSockPuppet my friend and I used to chant the line 'don't drink, don't smoke' with a cigarette and a cider in our hands Grin

Honeyroar · 31/07/2020 22:55

I’ll add a line or two...

And so I face the wall
Turn my back against it all
How I wish I’d been unborn
Wish I wasn’t living here

VictoriousSockPuppet · 31/07/2020 23:01

Is that eurythmics, honey? Sex crime

VictoriousSockPuppet · 31/07/2020 23:03

Holiday - Madonna (time for the good times)

NeedToKnow101 · 31/07/2020 23:08

I'm a bit drunk am trying to think of a killer lyric...

AnyaAy.. 80s ..?

A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on a breaking wall
I see you my friend, and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip

NeedToKnow101 · 31/07/2020 23:08

Actually it's 1990

VictoriousSockPuppet · 31/07/2020 23:10

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong

80s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 31/07/2020 23:12

This isn't up most of your streets, but I love it

You never listen to a word that I said
You only see me for the clothes that I wear

70s

Honeyroar · 31/07/2020 23:13

Cars - Drive

I’m a bit drunk too @NeedToKnow101! Just taken redundancy after 23 yrs in the job today and feeling a tad emotional!

We can try to understand
The New York times' effect on man
