And, I'm so tall, I'm so tall,
You raise me and then you let me fall.
And I'm so small, I'm so small,
Wrap me round your finger, seen before.

Living in the ceiling is the song

Spot on @shinynewapple2020. Do you know the name of the band?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 10/08/2020 23:32

A bit more of mine.

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who standing looking

Yes, shiny.
Care to guess the group, seeing as how my lyric contained one of the title words???? Can't really give you the point without, I dont think.

I can't believe i missed the clash. I love them.

Dud anyone get coffee's. I'm sure I know them, but can't quite seem to get there in my head.
