OOPS

Edited to remove the ones WW did in advance mad

;)
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
Summer in the city when the air is chill
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Look these eyes are just holograms look your love has drawn red from my hands
Been on the bottom line sure ain't no fun
You know the rules and so do I
Politician granny with your high ideals, have you no idea how the majority feels?
They asked me how I got her I said, "I saved my money"
You could've turned around and hit me and I wouldn't have cared
The room is lit red danger
(150+ more where these came from biggrin

)

22 Nov 2004

Got aztec camera and then prefab sprout then got sooo peed off with "you know the rules and so do I" that we ended up googling redface
