[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)

'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?'

Prince - When Doves Cry

'Is babooshka 80s?'

Released in June 80'

So shut, shut your mouth
'Cos I'm not listenin' anyhow
I've had enough, enough of you
You know to last a lifetime through

The primitives

Crash

Yes Martha

This next one could have been my slogan in the 80s

That's why I sometimes stand alone at parties
That's why I drink so I'll be who they think I am"

'Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains'

Ooooh, that's either Nik Kershaw or Howard Jones but for the life of me I can't remember the song title

pantryboy
the clash - clash city rockers?

@Honeyroar Did we get this one yet? It's driving me nuts

Is it U2? I'm not good on U2 but I think it's Unforgettable Fire

Ice. Your only rivers run cold.
These city lights
They shine as silver gold.
Dug from the night
Your eyes as black as coal

Oops, of course primitives crash...

Oh I just spotted it's been guessed!

Jumped

It's Howard Jones

@secretmeetingsundertrees - no, its a female singer

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy

So shut, shut your mouth 'Cos I'm not listenin' anyhow I've had enough, enough of you You know to last a lifetime through

I meant to put this up ealier.

The primatives were supporting when I saw echo and the bunnymen

What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What’s it gonna take to make a dream survive?

And she's sweeter now than the wildest dream could have seen her, and I watch her slipping away

Ahhh - it's called something like New Song, or Own Song

Alive and kicking

New song

@BendandBreak only the group had been guessed, I think, not the title.

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy

Ooooh, that's either Nik Kershaw or Howard Jones but for the life of me I can't remember the song title

It's howard Jones.

Can't think of song title though. In the video there was a man who was black on one side and white on the other

@BendandBreak

And she's sweeter now than the wildest dream could have seen her, and I watch her slipping away

Aha - Hunting High and Low

Mt sister had this taped and played it incessantly.

Hunting high and Low

Ooh I missed some good ones while I let the dogs out!

You gave up your friends for a new way of life
And both ended up as ex husband and wife
