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)

'Good evening. This is the intergalactic operator. Can I help you?"
"Yes. I'm trying to reach flight commander P.R. Johnson, on Mars, flight 2-4-7"
"Very well, hold on please (beeping) you're through!"
"Thank you operator!"'

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"

Is that I say nothing???? Strawberyy switchblade

Clouds across the moon - but for the life of me I can't remember the band

All the faces
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice

@Honeyroar

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?

Alive and kicking. Simple minds

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

Not Strawberry SwitchBlade ... but fairly similar

Isn’t it Voice of the Beehive, I say Nothing?

Yes

Twas' the Rah band

Yes -Voice of the Beehive

Oh sugar! I'm about 10 posts behind you all!

'Hopes dashed to the floor
Like shattered teenage dreams
Boys living next door
Are never what they seem, oooh
A walk in the park can become a bad dream
People are staring and following me
This is my only escape from it all
Watching a film or a face on the wall'

Clouds across the moon. So strange, but I loved it! I can’t remember who sang it either!

Ah yes. Voice of the beehive

@MarthasGinYard is it Robert Denero’s Talking? Bananarama

My knees are shaking baby, my heart it beats like a drum

Robert De Niro's waiting - Bananarama

Waiting, Honey

Honey

Yes

@Devoilmum

Bend

Feels like I'm in love

'When it feels like the world is on your shoulders
And all of the madness has got you going crazy
It's time to get out step out into the street
Where all of the action is right there at your feet'
