Love me for a reason, let the reason be love, doesn’t make sense.

Hoorayhenryyah · 18/06/2021 10:58

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag. I mean seriously, wtf does a plastic bag even feel like??

Clawdy · 18/06/2021 11:02

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - such a beautiful sad song, but that line "Now, laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide...." They're certainly not friends if they do that!

YouLookSoCool · 18/06/2021 11:42

The voice on the phone answered with a sweet voice (or something similarly silly by Take That)

That dreadful line about Kilimanjaro rising like a memphis from the Serengeti. It's not even in the Serengeti!

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains

Whingey · 18/06/2021 11:55

Rising like Olympus. But you're right about location

"Oh she's sweet but a psycho, a little bit psycho..."

Just makes me feel a bit uncomfortable as I think it's quite insensitive/labelling.

IF

"If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?"

WTF does that mean?

ROCKET MAN

^"And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown..."^

Well, not that long. Saturday tops - as you it made very clear in the third verse that 'it's just my job, five days a week"...

JAILBREAK

^"Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak,
Somewhere in this town..."^

Yeah - if we're wondering where exactly, I don't think the first place I'd put money on is the all-night bagel shop or the lido.

....this thread could keep me busy for hours.

You PMS like a bitch I would know.. Nice one Katy Perry
Also Dontcha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me...er no actually!

RogueMNerHidesUnderBigHat · 18/06/2021 12:20

I wish or could Christmas every day.

I really don't

‘Rain on me tsunami’

Somebody wasn’t listening in Geography lessons

Slowly walkin' down the hall
Faster than a cannonball

I mean, what? Are you going slow or fast? Which is it Noel?

Happenchance · 18/06/2021 12:25

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?

SallySycamore · 18/06/2021 12:25

"Say I look nice when I'm not".

In Little Things Mean A Lot. Lovely sentiment, rotten grammar.

OneMillionSteps · 18/06/2021 12:28

Another bad grammar one 😁

She says her love for me could never die
But that’d change if she ever found out about you and I

'born to be alive'
' you're my favourite waste of time'

Aposterhasnoname · 18/06/2021 12:31

I really really really wanna ziga zigaahh.

In fact anything with made up words that don’t make sense.

stillcrazyafterall · 18/06/2021 12:37

Dignity by deacon blue. It's a dinghy, then a ship. He sails it is the west coast. Then through towns and villages??

And don't get me started on Real Gone Kid.. 'I'll do what I should have did' which presumably would have been go to bloody school!

AuntieDolly · 18/06/2021 12:40

Frankie - Sister Sledge:
You walked me to the Deli
Then we sat in the booth where it all began.
I looked into your big eyes
And I said to myself we coulda have twins.

Ed Sheeran

"push and pull like a magnet do"

a = singular
do = plural

And magnets don't push and pull :(

WalkingOnTheCracks · 18/06/2021 12:46

The whole of Just the Way You Are, by Billy Joel, which is just about the most patronising bunch of toss imaginable...

"I don't want clever conversation. Never want to work that hard."

...so your intelligence is irrelevant in this relationship.

"Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair"

....because anything that radical does require my approval.

"You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care"

...and, obviously I'm not going to go changing either, so I'll carry on appearing not to care.

While I'm here, incidentally, why do so many women like 'Delilah'? I mean, the guy knocks on a woman's door and stabs her to death in a jealous rage. Why's everyone having a knees-up singalong to that?

I'm an idiot...

I thought it was "you pee a mess"

Blush

I thought she was referring to a guy who kept missing the toilet bowl and leaving pee everywhere.

PMS.

Duh.
