@Honeyroar Love your tales! You've got @FlouncerInDenial bouncing 🤣

I should have known better
But I trusted you at first.
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved

@MrsBrunch

Don't know if this one has been done:

1980s I think:

Oh Christ but then later
In the incinerator
Something inside seems to fall asunder

Not trying to be unwelcoming, MrsBrunch, but I didn't recognize your lyrics.

But don't worry if something's been done before, we're on thread 15, they've ALL been done before! (Not that that helps us recognize the lyrics!)

FlouncerInDenial · 14/11/2020 20:20

@midgebabe

Ah wow,,.,you guys are so nearly almost famous, have any of you been invited into I'm a celebrity or SCD yet?
Don't forget, we are all on a thread with shiny and she's properlybullshitting famous
midgebabe · 14/11/2020 20:23

Not getting anything for the incinerator song though

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/11/2020 21:11

That song reminds me of my ex

Honeyroar · 14/11/2020 21:43

@FlouncerInDenial they didn’t mention you per sé, but they did mutter about some strange woman wandering around muttering about deducting points and spreadsheets...

FlouncerInDenial · 14/11/2020 22:03

That's good enough for me, honey!!!

Hey, if I don't now win the celeb categorywith my totally fabricated stories I'm going to throw the biggest hissy fit these threads have ever seen.

Btw, several of my very easy lyrics not got. More clues needed?

FlouncerInDenial · 14/11/2020 22:06

@FlouncerInDenial

I have zero stories, but these are the ones I wanted to sleep with snog(apologies for the fact this is going to include music you're all not that keen on.

So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favour
80s

If it is I'd like for you to know
That I'm not worth it, you see
80s

All alone ain't much fun, so you're looking for the thrill
80s

Right, I didn't fancy this next person, but you lot are never going to get the band he plays with, and I think he's the most fanciable now
Talk about a girl
Talk about a boy
Countin' all the ripples on the sea
80s hit of a much older song

Just an urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time
80s

She ain't no human being
And there's no future
In England's dreaming
70s

You were the first girl at school to get breasts
90s

So in your broken home he broke all your bones
90s

Did she go to work or just go to the store?
70s

There's my crushes in chronological order

3rd, 5th and the last 2.

You lot might struggle with the 5th, but the others should be fine for you.

The penultimate one has had lyrics from the song posted at least twice.

Lead singer was absolutely fucking gorgeous

Honeyroar · 14/11/2020 22:54

The last one is Blondie. Hanging on the telephone

Honeyroar · 14/11/2020 22:56

Broken home/bones one is Animal Nitrate -Suede. (Love the song and remember you saying that last time it was posted!)

Honeyroar · 14/11/2020 22:58

All alone one is Duran Duran’s Save a Prayer.

midgebabe · 14/11/2020 22:58

Arghhhhh blonde ...argh....

midgebabe · 14/11/2020 22:59

Awww, needtoknow, he was yummy!
But you're very mean not to tell us all the gossip. I'm sure that will be reflected come awards night.

You're correct, Pantry but it's been got

On a silent summer evening
The sky's alive with lights
A building in the distance
Surrealistic sight

1980s

shinynewapple2020 · 15/11/2020 19:57

I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun

1990s

Honeyroar · 15/11/2020 20:10

The silent summer evening one is the wonderful Evho Beach by Martha and the Muffins.

shinynewapple2020 · 15/11/2020 20:26

Or even Echo Beach correct @Honeyroar
