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)

Right song but Marty Webb. From Tell Me on a Sunday.

Marti bloody autocorrect!

There's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia
A white house in a red square

Something's happening
Happening to me
My friends say I'm acting peculiar
C'mon baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon before you break my heart

I loved her
Nothing could hold her from leaving
Nothing could save me from grieving here
Head in the sand

Ahem, sorry, it was Tubeway Army and it was 1979.
Gary Numan was the lead singer of Tubeway Army.

This is not love.
This is not even worth a point of view.
In echo park, I pause for effect and whisper: who are you?

She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him
She couldn't have made a worse move…'

'Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?'
