Wearing our vintage misery
no, I think it looked a little better on me

so sums up the end of toxic relationships

Someone like you makes it hard to believe everything about myself

I still remember the night we knelt and prayed

Friday night and all the lights are going red to green

Get me out this godforsaken town .....I know the territory sooner or later you'll be screwing around

Life is what happens to you whilst you’re busy making other plans

I'm a member of an ape-like race
At the arsehole end of the twentieth century

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.

Life is like a pipe and I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside.

She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

That Jeff Buckley song is sublime.

Can barely listen to it.

Well, there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?

Fleamaker · 31/12/2023 23:23

So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart is an empty space
Where you used to be

MsChips · 31/12/2023 23:25

If I never loved I never would have cried

Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

Edited

Excellent choice @TooManyAnimals94

Do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there

"You kept me like a secret, I kept you like an oath."

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go
But I can't

And I know that I should let go
But I can't

I love this song, whatever happened to Kate Nash? Mine is 'if you're alive then why aren't you living? And I want the world, I want the world'.

LyndaSnellsSniff · 31/12/2023 23:38

All you fishermen, head for home
Go to sleep little earth

Hello Earth - Kate Bush

Makes me feel small and vulnerable in a scary world!

autienotnaughty · 31/12/2023 23:38

We share each other like an island
Until exhausted close our eyelids

Toomuchstuffeverywhere · 31/12/2023 23:38

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold, it’s always summer, they’ll never get cold, never get hungry, never get old and grey.

janefondofu · 31/12/2023 23:40

You could meet somebody who really loves you, so you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry and you want to die (How soon is now- The Smiths) i just think its so funny

Toomuchstuffeverywhere · 31/12/2023 23:41

And you may ask yourself, well how did I get here?

Twentytwentyfour · 31/12/2023 23:42

You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway

Solotravelleragain · 31/12/2023 23:44

I don't pretend to know what you want
But I offer love

Deal your cards, and hope that I can play a better hand next time

Curlyshabtree · 31/12/2023 23:48

The moon is swimming naked and the summer night is fragrant with the mighty expectation of relief.

MaudGone · 31/12/2023 23:49

There's more to life than books, but not much more

RicherThanYews · 31/12/2023 23:50

I'll never let one drop of rain fall down into your life.

"Don't pretend you hate us when you sing our songs, cos we all look the same in the dark"
