[ItsNotJaneFonda]

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)

@Fudgecakes - don’t think anyone got yours right? Someone I think guess

That’s Just the Way It Is, Bruce Hornsby and the Range

And here’s mine:

I’m not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

@Sparklingbrook yes, well done

Level 42 were great weren't they? I must go and have a listen.

You pull back the curtain
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky

Sparklingbrook - Eighth Wonder 'I Don't Care'

@Sparklingbrook yes I think Leaving me now is one of my all time favourite songs.

@mommybunny is it Big Country? (bugged me for ages that one!)

@CatsBass

Sparklingbrook - Eighth Wonder 'I Don't Care'

Yep. Great song.

I kissed you in the water and made your dry lips sing. I saw you look like a Japanese baby. In an instant, I remembered everything.

Tune! The Walk by the Cure

I don't even want to think about how old that song is now (or any of these given they are all eighties!)

Ooh, can I play?

I got me a Chrysler, it seats about twenty
So hurry up and get your Juke box money...

Love Shack B52's . That's on my 'don't like' list along with 'Come on Eileen'.

My expectations may be high, I blame it on my youth
Soon enough I'll learn the painful truth
I'll face it like a fighter then boast how I've grown
Anything is better than being alone

A Good Heart

@TitsInAbsentia 👍
(I don’t like to think how old I am nowadays either!😁)

@mommybunny Big Country isn't it? Is the song the same name?

@Antsdeck

Blondie...lovely song, sounds a bit Phil Spectre-ish...11:59! And I want to stay alive.

Hot sticky scenes. You know what I mean. Like a desert sun that burns my skin. I’ve been waiting, for her, for so long.

@mommybunny, Big Country by Big Country.

A man wants to be approached cool and romantically

We don't hAve to take our clothes off (to have a good time).

With the fire from the fireworks up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain

I think it's The The, this is the day or something like that?

I was only seventeen when she looked at me that way
Seems like yesterday
I was only foolin' 'round but she stole my heart away
I've never been the same
