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)

And it's a hard winter's day
I dream away

@Iggi999

And it's a hard winter's day I dream away
It must have been love - Roxette! Grin

Water was running children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?

TitsInAbsentia · 30/05/2020 01:46

Siouxsie and the banshees, cities in dust

Feel the pressure your back's against the wall
Love is gaining on you you're just about to fall
If you're afraid to love afraid to take a chance
You better hide your feelings get out while you can

2nd floor. Hardware, children's wear, ladies lingerie

(Those may not be the right lyrics. I am quite drunk. But if you know the song, they're close enough!)

Is that the theme tune to a re you being served?!

Tits You'll be going loco down in Acapulco, with the 4 Tops? Is it the 4Tops????
Reminds me of first ever girls holiday away, right after A levels. (And if my best friend is on here I am so outed Grin)

Those who guessed Big Country pages and pages back were right!

Another one:

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race

@Iggi999

I'm singing it Bubblegum! But I cheated. Last one before bed.

In times when you're in need of assistance
You're looking for a lead and in the distance
You hear them calling come back down again

Curiosity, Down to Earth - I played the single so very many times
ItWorriesMeThisKindofThing · 30/05/2020 09:49

When love calls me, I will be running swiftly
To find out just what all the fuss is all about

RiftGibbon · 30/05/2020 10:22

It worries that's Icicle works - Love is a wonderful colour

The one with the shop floors/department stuff is Carter USM - Shoppers Paradise

Pelleas · 30/05/2020 10:24

I'm telling everyone that you're still my man
I can hear them laugh behind my back
Oh, come on and prove it to me, show me I'm right
'Cause it's time to face the facts

ssd · 30/05/2020 10:44

@ssd

And when the years have done irreproble harm I can see us walking slowly arm in arm Just like that couple on the corner of Duke Girl I will always be in love with you
No one got mine but I've jut realised it's from 1991 so not an 80s song anyway Blush
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 30/05/2020 12:14

Tits not are you being served. You either know it or you don't. It's called love in an elevator and it's by Aerosmith

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 30/05/2020 12:21

I don't know ANY of the current ones Sad

I give you

in starlit nights I saw you
so cruelly you kissed me
your lips a magic world

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 30/05/2020 12:22

Wrong RiftGibbon. Sorry

Echo and the bunny men, killing moon

Ground floor: perfumery
Stationery and leather goods
Wigs and haberdashery
Kitchenware and food
Going up

I loved Are you being served Grin

Yes! I still love this song so much!
ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 30/05/2020 12:52

Well done ssd.

Need more lyrics!

Don't waste your money on a new pair of speakers,
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers

Pelleas · 30/05/2020 13:05

I lift my head up from uneasy pillows
Put my feet on the floor
Cut my wrist on a bad thought
And head for the door

BendandBreak · 30/05/2020 13:07

7 years gone under the bridge like time standing still, Heaven knows what happens now, you gotta, you gotta say you will

mommybunny · 30/05/2020 13:25

@wannabebetter

It’s Still Rock n Roll to Me, Billy Joel

Here’s another one:

Pack your bags
And leave tonight
Don't take your time
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight!

Devoilmum · 30/05/2020 13:29

@BendandBreak OMD- if you leave - was literally just humming this
