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)

@Augustgirl

only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain I heard you making patterns rhyme Some new romantic looking for the tv sound You'll see I'm right some other time
Planet Earth by my favourites Duran Duran.

It's Tori Amos, SIlent all these years. Very apt for me.

How about:

No-no-no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no

Clean my teeth and comb my hair
And look for something new to wear
And start the night life over again
And kid myself I'm having fun

Fleamaker123 · 29/05/2020 15:08

Ooh just beat me to itGrin

where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears
and what's more no-one ever disappears
you never hear their standard issue kicking in your door

merryhouse · 29/05/2020 15:35

now it's past last call for alcohol
past recall has been here and gone
the landlord he finally paid us all
the satin jazzmen have put away their horns

Redannie118 · 29/05/2020 15:40

@merryhouse. Her latest trick, dire straits

@fudgecakes posted Man2Man meets Man Parrish "I was a male stripper in a go-go bar" a while back Grin

How about "broke off, all that we ever had. You said, that you weren't coming back"

Prosecco I used to love Green - does he still sound the same????
Most of my usernames (I've had a few Wink) have been 80s lyrics.....
Without outing myself too much, here's another:
'Alan doesn't understand her,
He thinks it's getting harder,
So he spends the night with old friends,
Underneath the covers'

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/05/2020 18:38

They sounded great, SeasideArms and I enjoyed them a lot (they were the support for tears for fears, who were fucking amazing), but he's changed a LOT since the 80s.
He wasn't a natural blond Shock
And now has a big bushy beard

Your lyric isn't deacon blue, is it? I was due to see them this summer. Not a great fan, but they were supporting simple minds, who I do like.
That's all cancelled now sigh

Honeyroar · 29/05/2020 18:38

@Iggi999 yes you’re nearly there, I’ll give you a bit more...

I’m not aware of too many things, I know what I know if you know what I mean. Do ya?
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box, religion is a smile on a doll.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/05/2020 18:39

I could pm you a very poor quality photo, but not sure if you can pm pics????

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/05/2020 18:41

I've been waiting for you, it's been so long
I knew just what I would do when I heard your song

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/05/2020 18:42

Are any of the ones above not guessed yet??? I've got a bit lost.
