Hello, long time no see Smile Thank you for still "@ing" me, I don't seem to get notifications I maybe turned them off in the past! I bought an 80s cd (like I don't have a million already) so after I've listened to that going to work tomorrow I should have some good lyrics Grin

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 09/11/2021 19:18

All correct Rogue - just number 1 outstanding

Huff! That Rogue has got the ones I knew. No idea what 1 is.

Hello Iggi.🙂

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 09/11/2021 20:28

I'll give you a bit more of number 1

Well, memories will burn you
Memories grow older as people can

Rogue1001 · 09/11/2021 21:24

Hi Iggi. Lovely to see you.

Coffee's very good at the @'ing. Will look forward to your lyrics.
No 1 still not speaking to me. Just have to wait until the other losers turn up

Iggi999 · 09/11/2021 22:10

No idea about no.1 either.
Heard this in the car yesterday, late 80s
Now I'm watching the fumes foul up the sunrise
I'm watching the light fade away

Honeyroar · 09/11/2021 22:29

Still no idea Pantry, nor for yours Iggi. Has anyone got Coffee’s outstanding one?

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 09/11/2021 22:58

Here's a bit more of mine

Gave my heart an engagement ring
She took everything
Everything I gave her

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/11/2021 23:08

Evening all. Dexter finally got my last title of Church of the poison mind after Shiny(?) guessed Culture Club.

Ah that did it. It’s Billy Idol’s Sweet 16. Always felt a creepy song when I was 16!

I will add a different line.. It seems like weeks since you looked at me baby, without that look of distaste
dexterslockedintheshedagain · 11/11/2021 11:06

Omg, that last line is sooooo familiar

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:21

Evening all

All I'm saying
It takes a lot to love you
All I'm doing
You know it's true
80s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:22

You say although we broke up
You still just wanna be friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again?
80s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:23

Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
80s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:25

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
80s

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:27

I don't want half-hearted love affairs
I need someone who really cares
Life is too short to play silly games
I've promised myself I won't do that again
80s

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:28

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish, send it to heaven and make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection
90s

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:29

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill
90s

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:31

Search your heart
Search your soul
And when you find me there
You'll search no more
90s

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:33

And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper flying away from you
80s

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 02/12/2021 20:34

In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
