80s Song LyricsThread

[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)

Nobody got mine then.

Working my way back to you, babe

Group of 4 or 5 black guys. Couldn't name the group

Do you want to refresh it @CarrieErbag , some are getting lost

Detroit spinners @ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Can you quote it again CarrieErbag?

Btw, was that the one, Martha?

Do you want me to
Follow you around
Everywhere in town
Do you want a clown

@CarrieErbag

'Well, you didn't wake up this morning, cause you didn't go to bed, You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red.

Have another go

Now he's got nothin'
Head in the oven
I can't decide which is worse

Oh, no, Carrie. I don't think I know yours. Sorry.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies - it is Jesus and Mary Chain - Cherry Came Too

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies
Yes it was Smokin in the boys’ room

Try this - only two lines as I think it’s quite easy

I hear you on the radio
I hear you alll the time

Yes Prosecco

The spinners

Other one was Black

And Pia Xadora when the rain begins to fall

It's marilyn, calling your name Bubblegum. Yes, easy.

PantryBoy until you came on this thread, I thought it was "Country boy". I've been getting that wrong for 30 years 😆

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Now he's got nothin' Head in the oven I can't decide which is worse

Can no one get this one? It's a song I lurve.

Need more, need more

(That's a plea, not a lyric!)

- it does sound like Country boy

I read your mind, with no intentions
Of being unkind, I wish I could explain
It all takes time, a whole lot of patience
If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Now he's got nothin' Head in the oven I can't decide which is worse

Tom Petty singing the wonderful Yer so bad

This is the day by The The.
Gutted no fans here

@CarrieErbag

You've been reading some old letters, you smile and think how much you've changed

Great song, great band

His mother bought him a synthesizer
Got the Human League into advise her
Now he's making lots of noise
Playing along with the art school boy

My perfect cousin The Undertones

That was the answer to AJumpedUp

Yes I was there too. And you know what they said? Well some of it was true

@BovaryX - The Clash - London Calling
