[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)

The Smiths - How Soon is Now?

It's not the letters that you just don't write
It's not the arms of some new friend
It's not the crying in the dead of the night
That keeps me hanging on, waiting for the end

Yes rosegoldwatcher

Can't think what yours is though

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies it was John Martin's Sweet Little Mystery.
How about this one -

There's a weapon that we can use
In our defense, silence
Well, just look at them, look right through them
That's when they disappear, that's when we lose the fear

Fun Boy 3, Our Lips are Sealed

For mine, take a look at my username! Here it is with a bit more

It worries me this kind of thing
How you hope to live alone
And occupy your waking hours
We're taking sides again
I just wept I couldn't understand
Why you started this again

I knew that one too! ItWorriesMeThisKindofThing beat me to it.

Love that song

Need to think about yours (half watching briefing and so can't sing in my head!)

Oh! It's just come to me...OMD????

Yes!

Woke up this morning, closed in on all sides doing nothing.
I feel resistance as I open my eyes. Someone's fooling.
I've found a way to break through this cellophane now, cause
I know what's going on in my own mind.

Awwlookatmybabyspider - is is 'Sewing The Seeds of Love' - Tears for Fears?

Can I play please?

Sidewalk social scientists don't get no satisfaction
From your cigarette, it's ten to ten

No living in a box by living in a box.

That's hard, AntsDeck. Any chance of another couple of lines?

Awwlookatmybabyspider - ah now I'm fitting the lyrics to the tune - but I'd never have got that answer !!

AntsDeck - No idea without googling and I don't want to cheat. By the use of the word 'sidewalk' I'm guessing American band (that narrows it down!!)

Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place
With the tired and weary there's no escape

She moved to his prairie
And married the Texan
She learned from a distance
How love was a lesson

@Fleamaker123 Slave to love. Brilliant song.

Labelled with love. Squeeze

@Fleamaker123

Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place With the tired and weary there's no escape

Slave to Love - Roxy Music. Love it.

I'll leave...

It's funny how, I could never cry
Until tonight, when you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying

We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps

I think that one's really easy, but is one line too hard????

@Redannie118 beat me to it!

Dance away the heartbreak, Roxy music JeSuisPrest and xpost!

@Redannie 118 Labelled with love... I saw Squeeze live in 1985, fantastic!

Purleeese, Fleamaker123 I got that, like, 5 posts ago

(I've never seen them live though, so you win)
