@NeedToKnow101 I have guessed that song on here before yes !! Never sure what the title is. Have had a cold this week and my head's very fuzzy at the moment so mainly staring at lyrics thinking 'I'm sure I know that song' but not reaching the answer !

shinynewapple2020 · 18/10/2020 20:31

@TwigTheWonderKid

And Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you

Is John Denver, Annie's Song

Correct @TwigTheWonderKid

It's actually Chuck E's in love - I got my own song wrong Grin. Get well soon, lots of honey, lemon and ginger x

Iggi999 · 18/10/2020 20:42

That's right, @shinynewapple2020 👏
No one got (I think) my Cure one from a few days go, which was Letter to Elise.
I also put Rio on but I'm sure someone must have got that!

shinynewapple2020 · 18/10/2020 22:53

Thanks need to know x

Evening all

A tenement, a dirty street
Walked and worn by shoe less feet
Inside it's long and so complete
Watched by shivering sun
Originally 1960s but big cover 1991

@FlouncingBabooshka

Signs you are too invested in the thread:

No 1: Going into the kitchen and realising you’ve forgotten to put the roast potatoes in 🤦‍♀️

Or hungover, FlouncingB???

You are correct with christine

@TwigTheWonderKid

70s Like to take a cement fix Be a standing cinema Dress my friends up just for show See them as they really are

Andy Warhol, David Bowie

Grrr. I put up lyrics from this song the other day and no one got it.
TwigTheWonderKid · 19/10/2020 22:03

Sorry @FlouncerInDenial I must have missed that. I deffo would have got it if I'd seen it.

Honeyroar · 19/10/2020 22:32

Ooh Coffee is that The Days of Pearly Spencer by Marc Almond (no idea who sang it originally).

Honeyroar · 19/10/2020 22:35

A little earwig for you..

I feel the air is getting hot
Like you baby
I’ll make you mine
You know I’ll take you to the top
(90s)

Honeyroar · 19/10/2020 22:36

I’m worst at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed

No worries, twig, sometimes they speak to us, sometimes they don't 🤷‍♀️

Honeyroar · 19/10/2020 22:43

It is Flouncer

FlouncerInDenial · 19/10/2020 23:02

Sometimes, honey, there is no satisfaction in victory. This, sadly is one of those times.

If the next set of lyrics you posted - the ones I didn't get - is something super cool; my humiliation will be complete
