Ooooo @turnitupto11 are you a KB fan? FB and I both are too. We both saw her when she did the run in Hammersmith a few years ago (not together, we haven’t met. We just discovered this on an earlier thread)

I know who you are

She couldn't have made a worse move

Running from strangers

I'll make you magnificent

Turn to the left

No I'm not bein' flash
It's what I was built to do

C'mon

We're happy here

Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel

Sure to go to heaven

In good news, I think I know what most of them are!
(most!)
Do you need more lyrics? Some very well known ones here. You should all be slightly ashamed. This isn't winning any of you points!
