She moved home alone without friends or relations
Lived in a world full of age reservations

Another song (like the last) that I often sing walking round the block for a change of scenery

Well I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain

Yes @CoffeeBeansGalore

I did confuse myself mightily, as I decided to double check lyrics before posting ( because I often find I have my own version) , only I was googling the wrong Song

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/10/2020 21:16

I sit on feelings
That hang in suspense
Nothing in my life makes sense

Honeyroar · 26/10/2020 21:17

I don’t know who sang it, but I think it’s Like a rhinestone cowboy!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/10/2020 21:18

@midgebabe Sometimes I am surprised at the "proper" lyrics! Been singing so wrong for years 🤣

midgebabe · 26/10/2020 21:19

Yes @FlouncerInDenial , who sang it?

( admits I git it wrong, good job I double checked)

Honeyroar · 26/10/2020 21:20

It’s 8.15, that’s the time that it’s always been.

Ebola gay.

Sorry I pipped you earlier. not sorry

FlouncerInDenial · 26/10/2020 21:29

Enola not ebola. Fecking auto correct

FlouncerInDenial · 26/10/2020 21:30

Correct x 2 midge

Pipped again, honey. Bad luck

Honeyroar · 26/10/2020 21:37

That’s because I write full sentences (You’d think a teacher would do that too, wouldn’t you?) and try to put the artist or say I don’t know the artist. Glowers at pippers that don’t.

FlouncerInDenial · 26/10/2020 21:43

I'm glad to see your bitterness and resentment aren't leaking through onto the thread, my sweet honey pie

P.s. I'm not a teacher. I just hang round schools and get the holiday perks 🤫😉
