You guys, I can't believe you didn't get my offering. Here are the full lyrics, any takers?

Put your head between your knees and breathe real deep
Let it in
Let it out
Until it's over. I might scribble, I might scrawl
I might claw at the wall
I might storm and rage and thunder
Oh Christ but then later
In the incinerator
Something inside seems to fall asunder.
Try to understand it's only me
Not only cripples have a need for crutches
And if they
Ever take
You away
From me... I'd
Fall down... fall down and lie still
Fall down... moving in for the kill
Fall down... putting several boots in
Lie helpless
God help us
Our heads up
We'd scream.
Put your head between your knees and breathe real deep
Let it in
Let it out
Until it's over.

Oh and checking everything is in place You never know who's lookin' on 91
Phil Collins.

I can't dance??? Not completely sure that's the right song

shinynewapple2020 · 18/11/2020 21:06

I really don't think I know that song @MrsBrunch
Anyone else know it?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/11/2020 21:08

But who could heal
What's never been as one
And our hearts have been torn
Since the day we were born
Just like anyone

It's not speaking to me right now either MrsBrunch. Sorry

Honeyroar · 18/11/2020 21:10

It was Don’t you forget about me Flea.

Barry Chumbawumba Manilow 🤣.

MrsBrunch · 18/11/2020 21:10

Ok well it's Boomtown Rats and it's pretty good if you want to check it out. It's called Fall Down.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/11/2020 21:11

You held your voice well, there were tears I could tell
But where were you now, was you gonna tell me in time?
Just give me a town and I'll be straight down
I've got so much to tell you about where I have been

@CoffeeBeansGalore that’s Somewhere in my heart by Aztec Camera.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/11/2020 21:14

@Honeyroar Correct to Aztec Camera 👍😊

When we get crazy
It just ain’t too right
Try to keep your head little girl
Girl I get lonely too.
(80s?)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/11/2020 21:15

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly

FlouncerInDenial · 18/11/2020 21:31

Was that a hit for them MrsBrunch?

@FlouncerInDenial

Bloody marillion.

Hate it 🤢

I hate Marillion too @FlouncerInDenial 😍

Boredsilly · 18/11/2020 21:34

Take some time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves

1990's

Iggi999 · 18/11/2020 21:36

Two with a link in the titles...

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near

and..

Spread the calm to meet the others
Pleasure fills with love 'til dawn

Honeyroar · 18/11/2020 21:37

The first one is The Cure - Pictures of you.

Evening all 😘

Here’s another themed collection...

80s
A passion course that leads to pain
An acid taste that laced her soul again

60s
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

60s
“There's no time to lose, " I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away

70s
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee
I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see

70s
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze.

70s
But now she sits there at that beer stained table
Dreaming of the things she never got to do

70s
I don't need love
For what good will love do me?

60s
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair

80s
Output failed
Request debug
Improper request
Request debug
System debug freeze
Your memory is volatile

90s
Am I the weaker man
Because I understand
That love must be the master plan

70s
The girl in the cake
Jumped out too soon by mistake,

70s
was your father as bold as the sergeant major
How come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/11/2020 21:42

@shinynewapple2020 Correct to Queen 👍😊
