I can't quote it, because it's already a quoted post, but wt-actual-f????
Needtoknow's post at 21.37.

What the bloody hell is going on?

Since forever, needtoknow has (to my great amusement, pleasure and joy) sucked up to me over several threads. Because, as we all know, needtoknow is a whore for points (which I ADORE!)

Now, all of a sudden
Not ONLY is needtoknow uncaring of points
Not ONLY is needtoknow being rude and disrespectful
Not ONLY is needtoknow mocking my UN

Needtoknow is now dishing out points???? The points i dish out (and, more frequently,), take away

What is going on? What is IN that wine??? Is it that gulp my reign of terror is, in fact gulps again OVER? Say it isn't so!!

Coffee, bestest OP, make this right. Restore the natural order. You're good at that. Bake something! It's always better when you bake something

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door Last night a little angel came pumping on my floor She said come on baby, you got a license for love And if it expires, pray help from above, because 1980s

Billy idol.

Rebel yell?

@CoffeeBeansGalore

There is a star that shines for you Silver splits the blue Love will see it through 80s

Somewhere in my heart.

Remind me who sang it

Correct to Rebel Yell & Somewhere in my heart by Aztec Camera.

I will be baking tomorrow. There would have been fresh cookies yesterday but dc ate the ingredients 🙄.

@shinynewapple2020

I glanced back on my life and thought about my wife Cause they took the keys and she'll think it's me

1970s

down in the tube station at midnight - the jam

Correct @secretmeetingsundertrees

Ooh missed some good ones tonight (and some crap!). Off to bed, will play tomorrow if you’re all playing out.

Night Honey 😴

Night honey-pie.

I haven't put up lyrics in a while. Will do some tomorrow.

Here you go, and a mini theme as to how I'm about to go and spend some time today (kind of)....

So many days you passed me by
You saw the tears standin' in my eye
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
60s

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
80s

I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Then close "with love" the way that you do
60s, I think (might be earlier)

know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
90s

Do you still use television to send you fast asleep?
Can you last another week? Does the cistern still leak?
Or have you found a man to mend it?
Oh, and by the way, how's your broken heart?
Is that mended too? I miss you
70s

You made a vow that you would ever be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
60s. Maybe 50s

The way you talk and try to kiss me
And laugh in four or five paragraphs.
All your compliments and your cutting remarks
Are captured here in my quotation marks.
80s

First song is please mr postman . Version I know is the carpenters

The one that starts you made a vow is Love Letters in the sand
Don't know who sang it

I memorise each line etc

Think that's love letters straight from your heart

But I'm thinking of it as being a really old song (50s/60s) can't think of 80s version

So your theme is you are writing letters - Christmas cards ?

@shinynewapple2020

I memorise each line etc

I think it was Alison Moyet who sang the 80s version of Love Letters straight from your heart @shinynewapple2020.

Not sure who sang the original version.

@shinynewapple2020

First song is please mr postman . Version I know is the carpenters

I thought it was the carpenters too, (which would have made it 70s?) But Google didn't mention them. Sarah Vaughan?????

And pat Boone did love letters in the sand.

All guesses correct, and all my Christmas cards written!

@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre

Not sure who sang the original version.

Nor me, I only know the alison moyet version

Trophy Your last one is Elvis Costello, Everyday I write the book. Brilliant song.

Well done. I was surprised no one got that one

@shinynewapple2020

Lovesick My temperatures high Just met a girl Who believes we can fly

1990s

Reposting from a couple of days ago

A theme

Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone

1970s

Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

1970s

I've got a feeling in my knees
It's a feeling only you can please

1970s

I hope and I pray that maybe
Some day

You'll be back (you'll be back)

1970s (although original 1950s/60s and a version early 2000s!)

Hush my darling
Don't fear my darling

1980s (plus other versions)

Hush my darling
Don't fear my darling

The lion sleeps tonight, Tight Fit version springs to mind

Oh dear

Now have ear worm..hope and I pray that maybe someday....you'll walk in the room with my heart.

Help someone, work that one out for me?
