The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your street
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets

But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed, some loving, and TV, yeah
And that's enough for a working man

@BlushingCaligula very good

I'm embarrassed at how long it took me! I knew I knew it (if you know what I meanSmile) but I really had to think for ages before it popped into my head

“You must be out of your brilliant mind” - I want to say Blancmange but I think I’m wrong…

Dexterwontstopfarting · 31/12/2023 17:21

@HarrietPoole wasn't it Furniture that sang that? Or something.......

HarrietPoole · 31/12/2023 17:30

Furniture!!! I knew Blancmange wasn’t correct!

1 You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history

2 The romance goes when the promises break
My mistake was to love you a little too much

3 I'd have my heart open wide
And you who's not naive I thought

4 Your sweet lips
Tell me there's no chance

5 Lying awake intently tuning in on you

6 Where do you dare me
To draw the line?
