Too low needtoknow

I know @midgebabe

I'm sorry @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Are you also in the process of clearing away the Christmas alcohol leftovers?

@midgebabe

Being fucked is a good thing though?

Can't remember! 😔

Yes. Luckily it was a bountiful Christmas

What it is ShelfElf, is that your kingdom of points monopoly has fallen..

I sense someone is a little bitter

'I sense someone is a little bitter'
😂😂❤️❤️

Bitter, lager, cider,,,,its all good

I think the shelf’s spreadsheet is like something out of Harry Potter. Like a mixture of the room of requirement and the cloak of invisibility..

Or at least the colour-coding is slightly erratic.

Sounds like your husband is on a guess the 1960s lyrics group on dadsnet *@FlouncingBabooshka*!

I think One Day in your life made me feel nostalgic even back in the day- when I had nothing to be nostalgic about! It’s the melody.

That was me too @honeyroar back then. So many songs would make me feel nostalgic back in my teens and early twenties (One Day in Your Life, Hold Me Now and Victims spring immediately to mind). Now when I hear them I just dissolve into a messy, tearful wreck 😳.

He’s not on a guess the lyrics thread. He’s making an important list of songs that he’s forgotten that he’s forgotten to listen to...yes, like you @NeedToKnow101, I am an extension of google...

Right, I’ve got a bit confused - I need to check if any of mine are outstanding.

It’s good to be back 🤗

Actually that’s a lyric - bit of a dodgy one...

The spreadsheet sees all, records all.

It is scrupulously fair and non judgemental

Results shall be revealed at awards night....

Talking of forgotten songs, I'd forgotten this 80s gem..

And now they are trying to take my life away
Forever young I cannot stay
Hey!
On every corner I can see them there
They don't know my name, they don't know my kind
They're after you with their promises
(Promises of love) they're after you to sign your life away
(Yeah, yeah)

It's good to be back - Gary glitter????

Gee, but it's great to be back home - Simon and garfumkle?

Oh god the Power of Love by Frankie goes to Hollywood is one of those nostalgia songs.

I still believe in your spreadsheet ElfShelf

'He’s not on a guess the lyrics thread. He’s making an important list of songs that he’s forgotten that he’s forgotten to listen to...yes, like you @NeedToKnow101*, I am an extension of google...'

@FlouncingBabooshka - it's the new 'wifework.'

These are still outstanding (I think). Some biggies here that you all know. All of you...

You cry, justify
But deep beneath the feelings lie
Photo, looking old
Memory makes the day feel cold

I got a feeling inside of me
It's kind of strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why I don't know why
I guess these things have got to be

Love’s strange
So real in the dark

I’ll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK

I’m sick of posting my outstanding one from NTWICM theme. It was Limalh- Only for love.

Cherish by Cool and the gang made me feel nostalgic too (again the melody/intro). Also On a night like this by the Cure. Loads more too!

Slowly learning one is AHA - Take on me

The love strange one is Simple Minds - Don’t you forget about me.

Can’t get the others.

To you I would give the world
To you I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's all right I know it's right
70s (beautiful cover in 90s)

Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
Break the silence, damn the dark, damn the light
70s

@CoffeeBeansGalore the “to you” one is Songbird by Fleetwood Mac in the 60s (not sure who covered it but I can hear it!)

The songbird cover was by Eva Cassidy.

Coffee's second song is also Fleetwood Mac - break the chain

Totally agree with you all about the songs mentioned and feeling nostalgia . A mixture of sad and happy at the same time .

Night night 😴
