If they were me and I was you
Would you have liked a present too?

Pantry:

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play

80s

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 30/08/2020 20:23

That’s Our Lips are Sealed.

Haven’t caught up with the thread yet. What on earth is going on between Victorious and Pantry..?

RuudGullitOnAShed · 30/08/2020 20:24

Fun Boy Three - our lips are sealed Grin

We could tell you Babooshka but then we'd have to swear you to silence ....

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 20:24

Fucking pantry got credited with a song I got first

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 30/08/2020 20:25

Baby, let me make you a statue
To stand outside the council house
To stand as a reminder of what you are
And what you want to be

eighties

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 20:25

Well done Ruudgull

(See, Babooshka . Like that!)

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 30/08/2020 20:26

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Fucking pantry got credited with a song I got first
Ultra Slow broadband + the need to sing is to blame
AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 30/08/2020 20:27

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Well done Ruudgull

(See, Babooshka . Like that!)

Whispers I am Ruud Gullit so now I've stolen from Babooshka as well.
VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 20:35

Our lips are sealed, pantry!

whispers back. Actually, I already knew that cos you've had the same NC fail before one an earlier thread, but I wouldn't out you

ellie1967 · 30/08/2020 20:39

Victorious is one of yours spice up your life by spice girls?

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 20:40

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Ok. I'll give you more from the two of mine that are outstanding.

The first one is really hard, because apart from the song title, the lyrics literally are:-
He'll open doors
He'll open doors
He'll open doors
He'll open doors

He'll open doors
He'll open doors
He'll open doors

He'll open doors
He'll open doors
He'll open doors

So try these. Different song, same artist, same album.

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
Then I wake it's kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye?
This is goodbye

And adding to

Don't call me scarface

Don't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
Catch 22 says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star

I can't believe no one got this.

But it's moby and why does my heart feel so bad

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 20:43

Yes, ellie
Well done x

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 20:43

(I should probably credit pantry)

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 30/08/2020 20:50

@VictoriousSockPuppet

Well done Ruudgull

(See, Babooshka . Like that!)

So mean, after the week I’ve had too...
VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 21:09

Sorry Babooshka Flowers

Or Gin if that is preferable

P.s. excellent flouncing

Honeyroar · 30/08/2020 21:31

🎉🎂🍷Happy Birthday Coffee!!🎉🎂🍷

@shinynewapple2020 I can’t find your guess for mine, what did you say? Pantry was correct with the group OMD.

shinynewapple2020 · 30/08/2020 21:41

Honey
The lyrics 'touch you once, touch you twice , I won't let go at any price' are from If you leave .

CoffeeBeansGalore · 30/08/2020 22:07

Thank you @Honeyroar 😊

VictoriousSockPuppet · 30/08/2020 23:21

I feel that honeyroar's attempts to suck up to coffee by selling lots of coffee have had a negative impact on her commitment to this thread.

I trust this will be noted come the awards event

still sulking that I guessed the wrong song

CoffeeBeansGalore · 30/08/2020 23:40

Who would like the awards night next weekend?

If it's a yes we need categories & nominations Grin

Ahh yes you were right Shiny. 👍

Sending a big hug/squeeze to the old sock hoping she cheers up!😘. I will be back with a vengeance as soon as I get everything I need to do done before BA boots me out at midnight tomorrow! In the meantime this 80s track sums up how the process has driven me mad...

Get up every morning just to put your makeup on
The wardrobes full of useless clothes, your winter coats are gone
The jackal pack are feeding
The motorway sweeps down
The council tries to bribe the rich
Just to stay in town
__
Get me out of this place
__
Get me out of this trap
