If heaven falls I'm coming too
Just like you said
If you leave my life , I'm better off dead

90s

shinynewapple2021 · 21/01/2021 18:01

Oh that's good news Honey. Sounds like your DH and your dad are very useful (and I'm sure they're lovely as well ). 🙂

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/01/2021 18:06

Yes, The Spinners. Well done 👍😊

Here's a song for you Honey (although a bit late now)

But if we all stand up in the name of love
And state the case of what we're dreaming of

90s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 21/01/2021 18:11

That's good Honey. It's nice when you have a handy DH 😊

Honeyroar · 21/01/2021 18:25

@shinynewapple2021 is your “If heaven fails” one The Verve - drugs don’t work?

And the one for me must be Take That - Relight my boiler (special version!)

MNerGoneRogue · 21/01/2021 19:11

@shinynewapple2021

Bon Jovi I think you give live a bad name
No it's livin' on a prayer
MNerGoneRogue · 21/01/2021 19:12

Actually scrap that

MNerGoneRogue · 21/01/2021 19:13

Sorry. Got radio on

midgebabe · 21/01/2021 19:37

I went no it's not you give love a bad name , it's shot through the heart

DH , eh? It's the same song!

MNerGoneRogue · 21/01/2021 19:48

Glad you're warm and toasty again honey.

Honey on toast 🤭

Correct for both 🙂

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 21/01/2021 20:33

A few lyrics from my random shuffle on the drive in to work today ... no theme other then they are on my iPhone

Get dressed up get a little risqué
80s

Well, I'm just outta school, like I'm real, real cool
80s

I play a dangerous game
I keep pretending she's late
So I sit, and I wait
60s (also in 80s with a different artist)

But now I look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
60s

In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
00s

midgebabe · 21/01/2021 20:49

And is the lonely night one sweet Caroline Neil diamond ?

Honeyroar · 21/01/2021 20:49

Is the Just out of school one Iggy Pop Wild one?

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 21/01/2021 21:08

@Honeyroar @midgebabe both correct

Honeyroar · 22/01/2021 19:51

Evening. Is anyone around? Hope you’re all ok.

Here are a couple to keep you going...

Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind see
(80s)

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words
Or ancient melodies
(80s)

And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There’s a wrong and a right
(80s)

midgebabe · 22/01/2021 19:53

Toto Africa?

midgebabe · 22/01/2021 19:54

Evening also , all fine here, generally crap day but nice wine bottle ready to be opened .

Hi all, and fine thank you @Honeyroar

Mind is a beacon is The Riddle - Nick Kershaw

CarnageAtThePancakeTossersRace · 22/01/2021 20:02

@Honeyroar

Jackie Graham sang it too in the 80s.

Heating is back on! Husband is a mechanic and dad is an engineer so they sort out most things between them! Warm honey is happy honey!!

Good news about your boiler @Honeyroar 🔥
NeedToKnow101 · 22/01/2021 20:05

Checking in. Got my wine poured. Don't know the outstanding lyric Honey.. 😘

NeedToKnow101 · 22/01/2021 20:09

Now my boilers gone... Did your DH slip down to London and steal a knob @Honeyroar ?

Like your username Tosser!

midgebabe · 22/01/2021 20:11

Where has your boiler gone? Should I tie mine down? What knots are recommended!

Honeyroar · 22/01/2021 20:18

Aw tosser is a bit harsh, she’s not that bad! 😆. Love the name, even if it is very long! Correct for Nik Kershaw.

Oh no Needtoknow! 🥶 🥶.
