Sherry!🤮 If I’m an addict it’s to Baileys.

I was just having a panic that I’d missed out on loads of songs, but it’s all shelfy rumour mongering!

Honeyroar · 14/01/2021 20:22

This one is dedicated to the shelf creature (who is a bit like Gollum in my head). Can be guessed by anyone though.

So tonight, gonna leave the 9 to 5 upon the shelf
And just enjoy myself

The only pot I partake in is the one that contains tea.

So tonight, gonna leave the 9 to 5 upon the shelf
And just enjoy myself

Honey, this is Michael Jackson, off the wall??

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 14/01/2021 20:39

I aspire to look as good as gollum!

Sorry, I've not put any lyrics for a while. I will, but its been a bit mad. Maybe this weekend.

No one believes you about the tea, flea

I posted this yesterday , think it got lost in all the chat

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 14/01/2021 20:54

I can almost hear it shiny, but not quite. Possibly a bit heartfelt, tortured? Male voice? Not sure

Honeyroar · 14/01/2021 20:55

Is it Gloria Estafan’s Anything for you?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/01/2021 21:03

Evening all

Correct to Foreigner, I want to know what love is 👍😊.

And actually shelf (whispers because this is sacrilege living in Scotland) I cannot bear whiskey.

It is @Honeyroar Smile

Honeyroar · 14/01/2021 21:07

Nor can I Coffee! (Nor gin. Nor wine!). My husband bloody loves whiskey and has a swig every night before bed. Drives me mad.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/01/2021 21:09

A show of strength with your boys brigade
And I'm so happy and you're so kind
You want more money of course I don't mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes
70s

'Cause there's no easy way to, to understand it
There's so much of my life in her, and it's like I'm blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
80s

Exchanging their letters their exits begun
With deathless precision he's aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sum
So live and let die in love
80s

Loved that song Shiny.💗

Honeyroar · 14/01/2021 21:11

The last one is the wonderful Lifeline by Spandau Ballet.

Honeyroar · 14/01/2021 21:11

@CoffeeBeansGalore (exchanging their letters)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/01/2021 21:13

@Honeyroar my sympathies. Dh usually has a bottle of 12 yr old single malt in the cupboard, but it lasts for years as although he likes it, he only has the odd dram. More gets used in cooking than actually drinking 🤣.

Correct Honey for Spandau Ballet 👍😊

shinynewapple2021 · 14/01/2021 21:21
