Correct Pantry.

Off the top of my head, no 4 is the wonderful Will You by Hazel O Conner.

Honeyroar · 11/03/2021 20:24

Could you do another line for no 5? I feel like I should know that one too.

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 11/03/2021 20:35

Not Poisoned Arrow

Here you are honey (You'll get it now)

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 11/03/2021 20:36

Here's a bit more of number 1

All the things you said to me
I was so obsessed (don't cry)
You were always talking, talking
God I did my best

Is it Sting? Russians. (Id forgotten all about that song!)
AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 11/03/2021 20:48

It is Sting

Honeyroar · 11/03/2021 21:03

If he loved you
Like I love you
I would walk away in shame
I’d move town
I would change my name
(90s)

It’s too late to stop Won’t the heavens save me My daddy says the devil looks a lot like you (80’s)

I walk so tall
Ascending I stand so high
Earth below me revolving
Above the sky
(90s)

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 11/03/2021 21:37

And the new 2. The Smiths - Unlovable.

Describes my life. Hi, hope you're all ok and school is going ok. SmileThanks

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 11/03/2021 21:46

@WhipperSnapperSteve - I played that song on a loop as a goth teenager. Loved it as I truly believed I was the most angst ridden person in the world.

I'm good, thanks for asking. I'm in Wales so we don't have all the pupils back yet, Next week will be the real test when KS2 come back.

This week is all about trying rewriting timetables to fit our new corona virus guidelines and trying to get budgets to balance before the end of the school year!

WhipperSnapperSteve · 11/03/2021 22:01

There's that song, George Michael's "I just want you to love me" and more recently three by Darren Hayes and a few others that have detailed my life. It wasn't a good childhood and into my 40s my mental health is my greatest battle. Sorry for oversharing Blush

I always wanted to go into teaching, one teacher really inspired me, but see above for why I didn't... I never really appreciated how much you invest of yourselves while my children went through school (my son is Welsh!). I think you're amazing people. Thank you for everything you do in such a demanding role.

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 11/03/2021 22:27

@WhipperSnapperSteve - I'm sorry to hear that. You obviously have great self awareness despite all the hardship. I had no reason to be angst ridden apart from a naturally introvert personality and normal teenage moodiness.

Teaching is draining and whilst I love it if I had my time again I'd do something different as it does dominate my life. Or perhaps I'd do it again but stay in the classroom as that's the good bit.

Honeyroar · 11/03/2021 22:35

1 & 2 of mine guessed correctly.
@NightSkyStarShine you got the right group with the Shamen but not the track.

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 11/03/2021 22:56

Is it move any mountain?
Honeyroar · 11/03/2021 23:02

It is. Well done.

Each night feels like the 4th of July
With stars that spangle the sky
[Several versions, but the - imho - cheesiest from the 80s for the points]

Flying Pickets, When You're Young and In Love

CoffeeBeansGalore · 12/03/2021 10:32

Morning all

I'm gonna be strong, I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Walk out that door
See if I care
Go on and go now

Well there's a girl that lives up the block
Back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
