Why don't you come in,
I've got lots of space etc is grace Jones, pull up to the bumper

The rebel in my soul blah blah blah is toyah. Can't remember the name of the song and can't be arsed to look it up because I find her very annoying.
Also dh confessed to me at time of watching that he fancied her back in the day, so now I hate her more.
And him.
Bastard!

@Rogue1001MNer

Apologies because the way I wrote it wasn't very clear.

I'm bored

I don't want to go to school

Two lyrics from same song. Separated by a gap cos the next line is from a new verse.

Does that help?

Only this one @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes
Rogue1001MNer · 21/02/2022 14:26

He isn't allowed, honey

Honeyroar · 21/02/2022 14:47

Rogue that outstanding one sounds like a line from Peter Pan now!

Is this David Bowie, modern love?

Rogue1001MNer · 21/02/2022 18:15

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You lot are hopeless!

Very amusingly (to me), it's toyah again.
take that, annoying lady! it's the opening lines to i want to be free.

I'm taking the fact noone got it as a sign of loyalty against dh fancying her and I'm awarding each and every one of you 7 bonus points

Rogue1001MNer · 21/02/2022 18:15

Break free, not be free

Rogue1001MNer · 21/02/2022 18:16

Or is it be?

My mind's having a senior moment!

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 21/02/2022 21:11

I would never have got that Toyah one @Rogue1001MNer!

Rogue1001MNer · 21/02/2022 21:23

How old are you (roughly)?

I remember this v clearly. I'd have been about 10 or 11

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 21/02/2022 21:53

Actually I do remember that song, was nearly 10 when it came out. Remember watching a film on the new Channel 4 with Toyah in it, think it was called Jubilee or something, directed by Derek Jarman. Was quite violent if I remember! Remember Channel 4 used to show quite risque films with a red triangle on the screen!!

  1. Walking back to you
    Is the hardest thing that
    I can do

  2. Sworn to the faith of 'love under will'

  3. We were so young then.
    We thought that everything we could possibly do was right

4)She took nothing but her clothes.
Taking more would just remind her of her past, she said

5)That's why i sometimes stand alone at
parties
That's why i drink so i'll be who they think i am

5 is Voice of the Beehive - I Say Nothing.

I’m gonna have to think about the rest!
