Sorry about that. My post button is playing up....

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 20:06

Doesn't matter how many times you post it, critter, you don't go through to the bonus round as it wasn't a lyric to guess. Just a PAAP (post about a post)

So we have been through hell and high tide I think I can rely on you And yet you start to recoil Heavy words are so lightly thrown But I'd still leap in front of a flying bullet for you

C'mon.... it's got to ne easier than the cult!

Never mind, just read it properly! Heat getting to me, not used to it in Scotland 🤣.
I think we will make it to thread 10. What's to stop us?
And on that note . . .

Lord knows we've come this far
Can't we stay the way we are?

VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 20:34

Got them, well done all of you. You're through to the next round.
Thank you, Twig. I was beginning to despair that anyone would get the smiths one.

Xsquared, I did say I knew that WASN'T the lyric you posted. But, unfortunately, I don't think I recognize the one you did.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 06/08/2020 20:38

@TwigTheWonderKid Correct 👍😊
@VictoriousSockPuppet, Hmmmm. Better start keeping score then 🤣

Yes I had John Taylor on a flight once. He was incredibly quiet and polite but not at all fanciable! Quite made me laugh. I can’t say I’d fancy Nick now either!

Omg what you joined the mile high club with him?!! Grin (I'm assuming you mean something different, but I'm enjoying the fantasy) (Though with me in it, not you obviously!)

Three linked by an obvious connection:

  1. Faces of Strummer that fell from the wall But nothing is left where they hung
  1. You're so cold, so cold The romance goes when the promises break My mistake was to love you a little too much.
  1. And when I next saw you my heart reached out for you But my arms stuck like glue to my sides

And a bonus number 4 from of my favourite albums ever. I'm not expecting anyone to get this, but I'd love it if you do.

  1. I know they say love is blind But if your heart was touching mine. I'll give you something that you can't ignore. I'll give you something you've been searching for.
Honeyroar · 06/08/2020 20:51

Iggi that’s your mind!!🤣🤣

Fleamaker123 · 06/08/2020 20:52

(Ooh I'm jealous Honeyroar, I think he's still looking good for his age 🤔

I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine
