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

I'm getting trains and Atlanta Georgia ( this thread is fascinating me just because of how my head responds to these )

Going back to find a simpler place and time

(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

I can see the singer but can't ruddy think of it Confused

Honey, we all want to know ALL about john Taylor, who you might or might not have shagged in the toilets!!!!!
What did he drink?
Did he go aisle or window?
Did he need any help fastening his seatbelt?
Did he concentrate during the safety talk/video?
WHO WAS HE TRAVELLING WITH? And was she attractive.
Did he unfasten his belt before the sign had flashed off?

Tell us everything

P.s a long, long, long time ago, I became a member of the mile high club

And if we're showing off about celebrities that we have met then I've met the singer of this one:

Sleep baby sleep
Now that the night is over
90s

Iggi999 · 06/08/2020 21:10

It's no surprise
To discover the tricks you've been brewing
When you turn and run away
Take a look at how you've give up your fantasy

(80s, and yes I have no shame)

CrepuscularCritter · 06/08/2020 21:10

Drag me out from a puddle of drool Twig. Grin

INXS New Sensation

@CrepuscularCritter

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.
Sorry, critter, I was momentarily distracted by john taylor.
  1. Aztec camera but can't think of song name
  2. Not sure
  3. Orange juice, rip it up
And I feel like I know 4, but can't reach it. I'll keep trying to sing in my head!
VictoriousSockPuppet · 06/08/2020 21:16

Elvis costello! Of course. Bloody hell. I luffs him.
