Grovel all you want, needtoknow. Zero points.

Which reminds me, I heard a couple of songs on the radio yesterday. Give me a minute....

Life is a cigarette you smoke to the end
But if you rocket the middle bit
Then you burn all your friends
The wider your eyes, the bigger the lies, yes it's true

May I have a bit of the chocolate one please? I love chocolate cake, and that does look rather special.
We will get through this everyone.
I've realised that there are two words that really wind me up and they are 'you decide'. Lol.

One of my outstanding ones with extra lyrics

My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxc

I met you in a cave, you were painting buffalo
I said I'd be your slave, follow wherever you go
That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars
80s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 15/02/2021 19:01

And the above song reminded me of this gem....

Fancy a bite
My appetite
Yum, yum, gee it's fun
Banging on a different drum
80s

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/02/2021 19:05

It is, coffee. And I agree with dexter. I think the u2 got got because I definitely knew it when I saw it

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/02/2021 19:07

And talking of shit songs...

I've been looking at you, you've been looking at me
And I want you to know that I like what I see

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 15/02/2021 19:08

Sorry. Forgot to say, thats 80s too ⬆️

Fleamaker123 · 15/02/2021 19:10

Ooh cake looks delicious Coffee 😍
Although I've had cheese pie followed by trifle for tea 😬 so just a sliver for me.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 15/02/2021 19:15

Ok, couldn't find who guessed u2, but this one is definitely outstanding

Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, he's lost and alone
Yeah, you can stay home
90s

"If you wanna squeal", said the F.B.I.
"We can make a deal, make it worth your while"
So he told them all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird

midgedude · 15/02/2021 19:21

Stool pidgin

Hugs to honey and to anyone else who needs one

@FlouncingBabooshka big hug to you especially. You’ve sounded as though you’ve had a lot on your plate for a while now.xx

We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address
