I don't quite know How to say How I feel Those 3 words Are said too much They're not enough

Afternoon / evening Smile

Reposting this one from yesterday plus another couple of lines

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me

@shinynewapple2021

Thursday morning was a hot flash factor Her face still focused on my mind Test strip, proof sheet, love is hard to find Friday night we'll dance the spotlight grind

80s
Links with my earlier lyrics

Reposting this one too; very mini theme with other song , plus some more lines (to be fair I wouldn't know it from lyrics I just remembered title)

Now I'm looking at a flashback Sunday
Zoom lens feeling just won't disappear
Close-up dark room sweet-talk in my ear

midgedude · 09/02/2021 17:33

Snow patrol or Coldplay ?

Yes midge the first one is snow patrol . Why didn't I think of Coldplay when I was trying to think of songs around the weather ! Would have posted that as well .

midgedude · 09/02/2021 17:53

Oh... perhaps that s why I mix them up in my head

Morning all

Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on it's way
Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
80s

Found you all!

It's called The Race but for the life of me I can't remember who the artist is

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 09/02/2021 18:19

And it has a growly voice saying it over a soundtrack

There was a band called Yellow who did the Race, is that who you're thinking of?

Honeyroar · 09/02/2021 19:46

Evening all. Hello Pantry, did you feel me talking about you!

Yes The Race by Yellow did have a man almost speaking the lyrics in a weird voice. I could never tell what he said! Hated that track (sorry if anyone’s favourite!)

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 09/02/2021 20:17

SCREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAMS

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 09/02/2021 20:19

sprints onto thread
knocking over posters like ninepins

Honeyroar · 09/02/2021 20:21

Good eeeeeevening your pantriness. Frabulous to see you

bows and scrapes
bumping into needtoknow with my ginormous lockdown arse
Oops, not again!

Honeyroar · 09/02/2021 20:22

Oh that was why! 🤣. You’ll have her back in hiding again.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 09/02/2021 20:25

So lovely of you to pop down from wobbling heights to grace us with your presence.

We had an awards night. You missed it.
But I saved some of my trophies for you.
Here's my best poster of lyrics trophy. Have it, have it.
And ahem there's this nicest poster trophy which I..... acquired.
I think it was awarded to the wrong person on the night in error. Please take it....

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/02/2021 20:35

Correct to The Race by Yello. Rather weird but I heard it the other day & thought why not 😁

I actually thought about posting that last week too!

Fleamaker123 · 09/02/2021 21:07

A bit more from an earlier one of mine..

It wasn't the rain that washed away...
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realised

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break

80's

Thought my ears were burning! I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to MN. Roll on half term!

This is Aha - called I’ve been losing you or something along those lines

The only thing wobbling is my gigantic arse! I wish I was one of those people who stopped eating when they felt stressed .... me, I head straight for the cake and chocolate
Fleamaker123 · 09/02/2021 23:15

Yes Pantry, Aha👍

Fleamaker123 · 09/02/2021 23:15

Fellow comfort eater here Rogue 😬

WhipperSnapperSteve · 10/02/2021 14:13

Afternoon.... biopsies are clear but I have myasthenia gravis! Could be a lot worse. I hope you're all ok.

Am here to beg, buy, borrow and steal pointzzzz Smile

Fleamaker123 · 10/02/2021 14:28

Hi WhipperSnapperSteve

Good to see you back! You've been missed.
Sorry to hear your update 😔 xx

CoffeeBeansGalore · 10/02/2021 16:12

Hi WhipperSnapper, welcome back aboard. Glad it wasn't the worst news for you. Obviously not great but as you say, could have been worse.

I'll be back later with lyrics. Toodle pip!
