It's a favourite song (remember I'm an old bona queen of fabularity), its title is rather appropriate given my atrocious mental health state and it was number one in the UK singles chart on my 21st birthday (look on these hallowed DL pages and ye shall find the relevant information). Get yer skates on good people. Dont You Want Me, Human League? Not really that camp but pretty sure in the right age ball park. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 9, 2018 Okay, I got one. 1. There are technically two very different versions of the song but is also by the same artist 2. The album this song is on is considered a live album 3. One of the lines is on a famous suicide note Looks to be difficult clues, but honestly once you figure out one of the clues, it should be a dead give away...
