One of mine outstanding. I think it got lost in the flurry yesterday:

Twist and shout my way out
And wrap yourself around me
'Cos I ain't the way you found me
And I'll never be the same

When you open your mouth
You don’t talk you shout
And you give everyone the blame
But when theycatch up with you
They’re gonna shut you up
And you got no one to blame

FlouncerInDenial · 18/09/2020 15:20

In lieu of what you're saying so frequently
She seems to have it all adds up

Oh, damn. Missed the Sigue Sigue Sputnik and all those points 🙁. It’s actually called Love Missile something or other. F1 11 maybe?

FlouncingBabooshka · 18/09/2020 18:02

Sorry - just noticed Honey said F1 11! So I think the correct title is Love Missile F 1-11!
