Reposting one from yesterday

You should've left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
And you'd never have known

Another eighties one

Jumped up, yes I have to sing the lyrics . Sometimes I have to start with a feeling or rhythm. Just sometimes it's obvious and then about 20 other people have already answered

YOU'RE HAVING A BLOODY LAUGH?!!!!!!

who got this one?????

And, yes, pantry. I usually do also have to sing the lyrics to get to the chorus. But NOT with this song, which I know v well, as I used to sob endlessly to these lyrics to this single when I was 14 and had a broken heart.

Hence why I got the answer before you.

Sitting with the thinker, trying to work it out
It's a traffic jam of the brain, makes you want to scream and shout
Presidential party, no one wants to dance
Looking for a new star to put you in a trance

@VictoriousSockPuppet - double points to you for my error (I'm feeling generous as I had a lovely birthday yesterday 🎉🎂🥂)

Hello 😊. I’m back.

Thanks for all the good wishes the other day. I was a bit of a drama queen. Apologies. (Very) long story short, a hole opened up in our floor. I sort of fell into it (no harm done to me!). Turns out we have a broken waste water pipe and all the water from the sink, washing machine and dishwasher has been discharging under the house for goodness knows how long 😱. Apparently we can’t fix the floor until it all drive which I’m told will take several months...

So, that’s been my week.

Here are some 90s lyrics. Don’t know if anyone is a fan of this band.

Colour my life with the chaos of trouble
'Cause anything's better than posh isolation
I missed the bus

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 30/08/2020 20:08

glares at pantry
Stands ground whilst trembling internally
VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 20:09

Aw! Coffee. Happy birthday 🥳🥂🎉🎂🎈

For coffeebeansgalore...

Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you

80s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 20:12

Babooshka!!! Good to have you back. (Especially because needtoknow needs some lessons in how to do a decent flounce)
But so sorry about your woes. Sounds v grim.
I hope it's sortable and not as £££££ as it sounds

CoffeeBeansGalore · 30/08/2020 20:13

Thank you @VictoriousSockPuppet.
Happy Birthday, Stevie Wonder
