@FlouncerInDenial yes it is right beside you.

Can anybody guess the artist?

I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve just in case
And all that extra-hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place
1990s

When all I wanted to do when I was old
Was to walk out the door

You take my hand and give me your friendship.
I'll take my time and send you my slow reply.

You have reminded me coffee of how very entertained I was a couple of weeks ago when I put up a load of easy lyrics. The little frenzy that ensued kept me amused for quite a while. I must do that again soon

TwigTheWonderKid · 25/09/2020 18:36

These three 70s ones are outstanding from a couple of days ago:

Up every evening 'bout
Half eight or nine
I give my complete attention
To a very good friend of mine

And so the story goes they wore the clothes
They said the things to make it seem improbable
Whale of a lie like they hope it was

Sittin' by the fire...
Radio just played a little classical music for you kids,
The march of the wooden soldiers
And you can hear Jack say...

I can put it in the bedroom
I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom
I can hang it on the wall

Here I am a million miles away from home
The Indiana wind and rain cut through me
I’m lost and alone, chilled to the bone

Said it again but could I please rephrase it
Maybe I could catch a ride
I couldn’t really put it much plainer
But I’ll wait til you decide
