In a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a world of tears I slowly drown

Outta space? The prodigy.

LadyGAgain · 06/08/2020 00:27

Day after day. And I slowly go insane.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 06/08/2020 00:28

@VictoriousSockPuppet Total coincidence!

I got distracted because the carpet fitter zombie thread is back and I got excited. I'm on it with 3 or 4 different user names
If you're reasonably new to MN, this post will make no sense!

A song that describes my attitude to men:

Who's never weak but always strong
Who'll protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong

60s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 00:34

For coffee and anyone else who wants it...

It's genuinely worth reading the whole thing. Although you can kinda skip the posts with carpet laying advice.
OR read the OP's posts and then start reading from around page 18, where it first gets bumped.
This thread makes me belly-laugh

CoffeeBeansGalore · 06/08/2020 00:46

Thank you @VictoriousSockPuppet

Goodnight all

@VictoriousSockPuppet, Who's never weak but always strong is It ain't me babe by Bob Dylan

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 10:00

Yes, Library.

I love that song so much.

TwigTheWonderKid · 06/08/2020 10:58

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Their lips are lying only real is real We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel

70s

That's Grease by Frankie Valli (sp?)
TwigTheWonderKid · 06/08/2020 13:57

Sorry, didn't see that Coffee already got it Blush

Honeyroar · 06/08/2020 14:05

OMG Sock! 31 pages! Is it really funny?

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 14:11

You can share the points, Twig as coffee only half got it (at best).

Honey, I promise it's worth reading.

You get updates from the OP and everything.

Ypu can skim the posts that give advice on fitting carpets and moving furniture. And I PROMISE you'll be laughing by the end.

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 14:12

Thete are still some of mine from last night. Shall I repost them?

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 14:13

@VictoriousSockPuppet

I've been waiting for her for so long Open the sky and let her come down

80s

Tbh, this isnt really your sort of thing, most of you
VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 14:15

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Heavy words are so lightly thrown

80s

Only one line cos it's way too easy

If just one line is too hard, I'll give you more, but I think it's a big hit from quite an iconic 80s band
VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 14:18

So please, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

90s, just

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 14:21

I think this one is tricky...

The girl is at your side, are you gonna to do it?
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it?
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it?

80s

Honeyroar · 06/08/2020 14:35

The first one is Rain by the Cult. Definitely my thing.
The Stay off my back is Snap - The Power
The last one is one of the Duran spin offs - was it called The Powerstation - Some like it hot.
Not sure about the one liner.

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 14:48

All correct Ms Honey. Well done.

I'm not sure it was a duran duran spin off, but john Taylor was part of it. Isn't the singer robert palmer?

The one you didn't get is (I'm pretty sure) a band you're previously said you don't especially like. But others will, I think. I'll give it a while and if no one does, post a few more lines
