I think it’s hard to get from those lines because they’re not part of the song, just spoken at the start. I’d not have got it. I was playing a playlist that reminds me of my late friend tonight en route to Tesco, and all the songs I posted came up!

Honeyroar · 27/10/2020 22:51

And now 18 months hard labour
Seems..
fair enough.

I think it was easier. I read them, and thought "I know those words". But nada. But I KNEW they were spoken at the start of the song (and album, I think).

So, I just let it settle, and then I heard wayne Hussey in my head, and then it was easy. I just had to sing my way to the chorus ylto get which song.
But the way I get most lyrics on here is what I hear in my head. Like, I'll hear "group" or "woman, but she's got a deep voice" or whatever. And then it comes to me.

Poor DH... the amount of times I've had to say "pause the telly, I'm singing in my head" is ridiculous!

FlouncerInDenial · 27/10/2020 23:22

FlouncerInDenial · 27/10/2020 23:24

Opps. All 80s. All quite goth-y

Iggi999 · 27/10/2020 23:34

Three with a theme:

  1. He made you so sweet it's just not true

  2. I think abouta mama, she used to say

  3. It's easy to deceive
    It's easy to tease
    But hard to get release

Ooh @FlouncerInDenial I know that left in this world one - it’s driving me mad!

Btw, did not intend the question mark after Bunnymen. There’d be a right kerfuffle if you said no Grin

@Honeyroar

Words as weapons Sharper than knives Makes you wonder how the other half die (80s)
Is this still up for grabs? it’s Devil Inside.

And Honey and I will take a moment to drool (again) Grin
