Well, maybe there's a God above
As for me all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
Originally 80s, lots of covers

Correct again.✅. I used to love that song, how come I’d forgotten that but not other Tears for Fears ones I didn’t like as much?!

NeedToKnow101 · 25/01/2021 21:13

But it wouldn't mean nothing, nothing

60s, the original anyway.

Pah. I've got tears for fears outstanding from a thread or two ago. I was gutted noone got it cos I love the track. (Head over heels, btw)
MNerGoneRogue · 25/01/2021 22:23

@MNerGoneRogue

Outstanding from previous thread

You're such a natural, sing
That's what you are

Late 80s

Well, none of you is getting best guessed. 3 times I've posted this.

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 22:33

I think I’ve got a few outstanding towards the end of the last thread if anyone can be bothered going back!

MNerGoneRogue · 25/01/2021 22:42

Ner. Copy n paste em.

Really, if needtoknow had any sense of decency or civic responsibility, she should gather them up and bring them over when she's tidying up. Just sayin'

MNerGoneRogue · 25/01/2021 22:43

I just told DH we're having another awards evening.
He said "I hope you win something other than most sarcastic bitch"

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 22:49

Well Needtoknow couldn’t because I shut up this time, and I did an Arthur. Just slammed the door and leapt across..

Tell your husband you did better than Honey, who only managed joint third in the met most famous people, despite 20 years in first class!🤣. No wonder I got made redundant.

MNerGoneRogue · 25/01/2021 22:52

Arthur????

Maybe this time is your time
