It's "hole"

Florenz · 23/04/2022 20:59

I thought it was place your hands on my hole.

Daphnedot · 23/04/2022 21:01

I've just googled the lyrics and it came up with hope?

Ahh, 1996 ! What a great year that was
As for Reef , no idea!

HunterHearstHelmsley · 23/04/2022 21:08

I thought it was home! It doesn't make sense but sounds right.

Tequilamockinbird · 23/04/2022 21:10

I always thought it was 'hole'

Daphnedot · 23/04/2022 21:10

Oh, place your hands on my hope,
Run your fingers through my soul.
And the way that I feel right now
Oh lord it may go

It's definitely hole.

Tequilamockinbird · 23/04/2022 21:11

The next line is 'run your fingers through my soul' so hole would rhyme but I see google says 'hope' Confused

I always thought it was 'hole' and thought the hole was his bumhole and thought that was quite forward of him.

shreddednips · 23/04/2022 21:14

I thought it was 'place your hands on my own!' But it sounds very much like hole.

Lavapalaver · 23/04/2022 21:15

Isn’t it whole

Lavapalaver · 23/04/2022 21:16

google says hope

Goodness. I'm pretty sure I used to sing this in the car when driving with my Dad.

Also

Daphnedot · 23/04/2022 21:18

Apparently it was written about the loss of the singers Grandfather and dealing with the grief,so maybe nothing about horns or holes!

I'm a carefree 15 year old watching this. TFI Friday to start the weekend and listening to the spice girls on my CD Walkman. Britpop just kicking off. Brilliant.

the80sweregreat · 23/04/2022 21:22

I never did know the dance routine to the Macarena either ! I was rubbish

WonderingWanda · 23/04/2022 21:25

I love that song!

AuthorAccount · 23/04/2022 21:26

Hole rhymes with soul. I appreciate that pure rhymes aren’t often important to lyricists but still.

winniesanderson · 23/04/2022 21:27

I thought it was 'own' like they were holding hands!
