Over-used but, 'you can check out any time you want, but you can never leave' sends a shiver down my spine every time.

'I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere in a field in Hampshire'

Pulp: Sorted for Es and Whizz

Now for me, the opening lines are classic :

Oh, is this the way they say the future's meant to feel?
Or just twenty thousand people standing in a field?

I now my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it!

Tolerate it

All of the miles of words we've spoken
All of the lines that got away
Didn't we take the time to say them all?
Said it all
Nothing to say at all
Nothing to say that matters
Haven't we heard enough?

“Cause it’s oh so peaceful here
There’s no one bending over my shoulder
Nobody breathing in my ear”

That used to be my fantasy when working full time in a demanding job and having 3 kids!😄

They're listening but they're not hearing me, they're being too cruel to be kind

Not even a major TT fan, but

"In the twist of separation, you excelled at being free"

Is just amazing. Summed it up for me, the shell shocked dumpee, watching my husband parade around with OW.
