@midgebabe - I’m still confused about where Born to Run fits in...

@shinynewapple2020

Four o clock I've been walking all night It's the time I always think of you If you could only see through my eyes Then you'd know just what I'm going through

80s

Reposting lyrics on yesterday evenings theme . I know you are all pretending you don't know it Grin

[quote FlouncingBabooshka]@midgebabe - I’m still confused about where Born to Run fits in...[/quote]
The song continues

" I want to guard your dreams and visions

I did say it was in the lyrics

NeedToKnow101 · 21/11/2020 10:44

Morning! Aw I missed so much last night!

FlouncingBabooshka · 21/11/2020 13:05

@midgebabe - Ah, thanks for clarifying that. When you said it wasn’t in the title I assumed you meant it related to the artist, rather than a word in the song - have been driving myself mad trying to work that one out Grin

Right...I need to pull my weight and post some lyrics...

Honeyroar · 21/11/2020 18:49

More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
(80s)

Honeyroar · 21/11/2020 18:52

Academic inspiration you gave me none
But you were Micheal the lover
The fighter that won
(80s)

Honeyroar · 21/11/2020 18:56

You know it’s kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn’t cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks well he makes up in denial

That’s Gino by Dexy’s Midnight Runners

Geno not Gino!

FlouncingBabooshka · 21/11/2020 20:25

I’ve got a new theme for you...

80s
The shrieking of nothing is killing

80s
You run like a river on to the sea
You run like a river runs to the sea

70s
Just got to be caught, he's got to be taught
Cause he is more evil then anyone here ever thought

90s
Its never gonna be this good so just climb in
How long till reason makes us small again?
And it feels just like we just got started..

60s
Another Saturday, another date
She would be ready, but she'd always make him wait
In the hallway, in anticipation
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek

60s
You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance
So please be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance

70s
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view

Geno not Gino!

Love that song. I just treated my partner to a rendition, even beat-boxing the horn section.
