If there's a song running through your mind right this very moment in time, give us a hint as to some of the lyrics that keep on repeating in your mind.....(not necessary to mention song details - just a few of the lyrics - and make them nice and bold so that those at the back can hear too.....)

Don't be bashful, windows in my immediate location shatter also when I sing....

"Babycakes - you just don't know-know.......how....la la la.......do do do doh doh....":unsure::unsure::unsure:

Blummin annoying, but the baby loves it :wub:

My youngest loved this song and was constantly playing it ----it did my head in :(


On my mind at the moment is


I can't keep wasting my time on
Your game

No more
No more
No more wasted time
Playing your game
I've seen this all before
Time and time
No way

Brit Single of the Year :D

Baby snakes
Late at night is when they come out
Baby snakes
Sure you know what I’m talkin’ about
Pink ’n’ wet
They make the best kinda pet

Looked around
An’ there’s a couple right near me
Baby snakes
Maybe I think they can probably hear me
Pink ’n’ wet
I’ll take all I can get
Baby
Baby
Sna-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-kes, yeah

They live in a ho-ho-hole
(tiny hole)
That is usually empty
(usually empty, tiny too)
They live by a code
(dit dit dit dit)
That is usually smpte
Which stands for
Society of motion picture & television engineers
Maybe I think
That is what keeps them in sync
They’re wet ’n’ they’re pink
I think I’ll give ’em a, give ’em a,
Give ’em a drink

Im a real "muso" though Woody - I could live without TV but not music!!!! I was like a grinning cheshire cat last night watching the Brits - I LOVE seeing LIVE bands - you cant beat the buzz you get.......

I am trying to talk Mr Q into going to Glastonbury this year, last year was the 1st year for aeons that I havent been to a festival and I was GUTTED!!!! I love the sense of freedom you get from it, and being with "like minded" people who dont judge you for what you are wearing, listening to, drinking, eating - its a hippie heaven for me!!!!

BUT - I DO google any lyrics I want to post - Im FAR too lazy to type them all out!!!!!

How about a little Tori? I was listening to this the other day.


Every finger in the room is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior underneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what God needs
One more victim
Why do we crucify ourselves everyday?
I crucify myself
And nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself everyday
I crucify myself
My heart is sick of bein'
I said my heart is sick of bein' in
Chains (oh-oh-oh)
Chains (oh-oh-oh)
Got a kick for a dog beggin' for love
I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says Will you ever learn?
You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird.
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start
My own religion
Why do we crucify ourselves everyday?
I crucify myself
My heart is sick of bein'
I said my heart is sick of bein' in
Chains (oh-oh-oh)
Chains (oh-oh-oh)
Please be
Save me
I cry
(ah-ah ah-ah)
Looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Where are those angels
When you need them?
Why do we crucify ourselves everyday?
I crucify myself
And nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself everyday
I crucify myself
My heart is sick of bein'
I said my heart is sick of bein' in
Chains (oh-oh-oh)
Chains
Why do we... (Why do we)
Chains (crucify ourselves?)
Crucify ourselves
Everyday (Why do we)
(crucify ourselves?)
Chains... (repeat backing refrain)
Never going back again
Crucify myself again
You know
Never going back again to
Crucify myself
Everyday

Thank you. :D

I've been a wild rover for many a year
Spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with great golden storm
And vow never to play the wild rover no more

*all togther now*

And it's no nay never
oiy...oiy...oiy...oiy
No nay never no more
will I play the wild river
No never no more

I went to an ale house I used to frequent
Told the land lady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Saying custom like yours I can get any day

*your turn again!*
And it's no nay never.............

I pulled frommy pocket ten soveriegns bright
The land ladies eyes opened wide in delight
She said 'I have whiskey and wine of the best
And the words that I've spoken were only in jest!'

*Sing it loud!*
And it's no nay never..............

I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done
Ask them to pardon their prodigal son
Then they'll caress me like oft times before
And i'll vow never to play the wild rover no more

*Last time with gusto!*
And it's no nay never........

I said 'scuse me George can you use my help? - he said "don't know kid, just stay in step......stay in step.....yeaaaaaahh, just stay in step......"

Please educate me on how anyone fights the corner of goths who identifies themselves as being in the closet. What does this fighting actually involve? When do you do it? From behind the door? Do you get paid? Are they recruiting for more behind the door, in the closet, fights for goths?

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
