Here you go @Honeyroar

You can touch, but please keep your distance
You're innocent and pure and with no shame
The spirit is willing, and the flesh is craved
You tease and you taunt with the pleasure of pain

Honeyroar · 13/02/2021 21:28

Ah thanks, it’s The Mission’s Wasteland. 💕

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 13/02/2021 21:29

Yes it is - I loved that whole album

Honeyroar · 13/02/2021 21:33

I love the Mission. I think Tower of Strength is one of my all time favourite songs.

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 13/02/2021 21:35

If I'd had a daughter she may well have been called Severina Smile

Honeyroar · 13/02/2021 21:36

I think it would be a lovely name for a horse.

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 13/02/2021 21:38

@Honeyroar

I think it would be a lovely name for a horse.
Or a cat.
NeedToKnow101 · 13/02/2021 21:55

Or a langoustine.

Honeyroar · 13/02/2021 22:17

Yes because langoustine have their heads in the clouds and stars in their eyes and they’re dancing..

Happy Valentine’s Day my lovelies! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

In honour of the day here’s some songs which featured on mix-tapes, made for me by various suitors. Those were the days etc etc... ❤️

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
70s

Whatever mystery life's about
There's no doubt we'll work it out
Cause you're mine and I'm yours
So who cares if when it rains it pours
I'm yours and you're mine
70s

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me, sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you
80s (this has a VERY romantic story attached - guess the song to unlock the bonus story 😂)

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
80s

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do.
They're really saying I love you.
60s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 14/02/2021 09:57

Morning, Happy Valentine's Day 💖

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do.
They're really saying I love you.
60s

Louis Armstrong, It's a wonderful world

Correct @CoffeeBeansGalore 👏🏼 morning 😍😘

shinynewapple21 · 14/02/2021 10:06

Happy Valentine's Day 💕

The song 'you with the sad eyes' I think is Cyndi Lauper True Colours

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 14/02/2021 10:34

Morning all. Damn, the 2 i knew already got 😤

Happy valentines everyone. I've hidden DH card in the dishwasher ready for when he empties it. My card appears to still be in the shop 🤣
I do love a moral victory!!!!!

Honey, you can put up all the goth lyrics you like, nothing distracts from you not recognising Israel after I gave you 1/2 the song and pantry said siouxsie.
Your goth credentials are in tatters, all be it cool black tatters

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 14/02/2021 10:36

C'mon peeps. I want to know needtoknow's story.
Does it feature a celeb? Or a romantic proposal from mr needtoknow????
(Or both???????)

😂😂 at putting the card in the dishwasher Rogue 👏🏼.. my DP is hit and miss for Valentine's Day, nothing so far, although the days not over yet so who knows what he'll come up with. His mum bought him a 'Brut' gift set for Xmas two years ago, so I guess it's inherited.

Honeyroar · 14/02/2021 11:16

I only know the ones that are already guessed. Aww I wanna know I Shiny’s back story.

Rogue I never really got into Siouxsie. I only liked them because Robert Smith was the guitarist! A lot of their stuff was too angry goth for me, I liked atmospheric goth🤣. I Don’t think I know Israel. 🤷🏻‍♂️. I was never a very good goth, I tanned too easily!🧟‍♀️

I like the mix tape idea. I think we should all post some of our lovey dovey mix tapes today.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 14/02/2021 11:19

Holding onto a grudge there, needtoknow????

If I got gifted something of that magnificence it would turn into a gift that got passed to a different person each year!

My RL bestie and I have a bottle of hock that we pass back and forward each christmas and birthday which has now extended to some babysham, some Brazilian champagne and something else. Can't remember what now as she is currently the holder of the bottles (at least until DH birthday in March, at which point we'll get them all back again).

Honeyroar · 14/02/2021 11:22

My husband hasn’t surfaced yet. I’ve done all the animals this morning while he had a lie in, so I guess I get the brownie points, don’t I?
