On a plate

Here's a new set to keep you busy on a Friday evening.

1 Should all the stars shine in the sky
They couldn't outshine your sparkling eyes

2 It won’t take you long
To learn the new smile

3 Moon child shining bright

4 Kill the king with love is the law

5 But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

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

7 the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark
It scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark

8 The sparkle in your eyes
Keeps me alive

9 And everything was made for you and me

10 Now who dried my tears of pain, babe?
A million times for you, for you
I'd sell my soul for you, babe

Rogue1001MNer · 15/09/2023 20:12

1 is Jesus and Mary chain. Some candy talking. 💕💕💕💕

Rogue1001MNer · 15/09/2023 20:13

She sells sanctuary

Welcome to the thread.

We usually put a decade next to the lyrics as an extra clue
