We can't tell our left from right
But we know we love extremes
Getting to grips with the ups and downs
Because there's nothing in between

And dive into the ocean I cried
And I cried and I cried my baby to sleep
Beside myself my soul to keep

I grab my pillow and squeeze it tight

All of the time, what am I gonna do?

Love this song! Brilliant Mind by Furniture.

Gosh, out of the last few pages I only guessed Adam and his Ants.
How about this one
“ There behind the glass stands a real blade of grass.
Be careful as you pass.
Move along, move along”

Is this called Right Beside You?

No idea who sang it.

FlouncerInDenial · 25/09/2020 16:15

All guesses yesterday correct Dragonfly and Flea
(Dragon, I agree about the Primatives. Saw them live back in the day).

FlouncerInDenial · 25/09/2020 16:16

Still outstanding from yesterday.
Did they get missed, or do you guys need more lyrics?

And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end

We can't tell our left from right

Getting to grips with the ups and downs
