Just thought I'd start a thread of guessing the song from the lyrics - they did it on a facebook group before and it was fun.
This isn't the easiest to start with:

"And I guess it took some time
For me to decide
If you were just my hero, or my friend?
Watching with my innocent eyes
Your silver stallion ride
Across my room I'd listen
As I cried.."
(cut to song title)

Hi Ho Silver?

Piemam · 28/05/2020 11:01

How about this one?

Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You

She looks like the Sunday comics
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar

Khione - I have no idea and I don't want to cheat by googling - however I would guess it's not one of those songs that gets much radio airplay

ok - different one by the same group

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

"Paint your left knee green
And extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet
And pretend your name is Keith!

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street

And the lights are flashing on your window sill

All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill

And you know just what it takes and where to go

FuckThisWind · 28/05/2020 14:29

Save a prayer Duran Duran. Fab song!

The shrieking of nothing is killing, just
Pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

I'm on laptop but I think you can do it on phone too. It's new this week.

Where you get the option to report or message there is now a quote option too. I think on a phone it's a menu that opens on the ... (three dots)

Ashes to ashes. Love a bit of bowie

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 28/05/2020 14:43

Ooops. Forgot to leave one.

In a club if you want to go
You could meet someone who really loves you
You 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
