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)

Hands to heaven by breathe. Had to google the year...1987.

aha I remember that title petermaysawthefuture - I would never have got it though!!

Oh can I play. This is my one of my top 5 favourite 80s songs

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation..

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

Blondie - 11.59 Fab song

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation..
Toto - Africa

ProudMarys - Toto - Africa!!

Sparklingbrook - Culture Club/Victims!

Yes, my favourite CC song.

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

Sparklingbrook

My fav CC song is "Move, move move away from me darlin...."
But that's one or their lesser known songs and gets practically 0 radio air play!!

Eye to eye stand winners and losers
Hurt by envy, cut by greed
Face to face with their own disillusions
The scars of old romances still on their cheeks

Willow, REO speedwagon, can't fight this feeling.

I was taken by surprise
I was shattered by your eyes
Living far beyond my means
Do you know how that feels?

Sparklingbrook Duel by Propaganda - one of my favourites

Here's a forgotten 80s one:

Tell me
You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead

@Sparklingbrook that’s Duel by Propaganda.

Mine too @ViciousJackdaw

I am rubbish at the guessing.

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps

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

Lovecats

You are an ocean wave my love

Remember the promise you made. Cock Robin (that can't be right?)

Spot on Iggi! I can't believe it was never a big hit.

They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it, too

iggy999
Yep

Uh huh, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away

Sponge I know the name of the band, I can picture them on TOTP (a legendary appearance IIRC) but the song name escapes me...

All about Eve Martha's Harbour
OMD Enola Gay

Everything you say is lies
But to me that's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do

Is that Reward - Teardrop Explodes?

How about:
First they take your pride,
Then turn it all inside,
And then you realise you got nothing left to lose.

Yes!

Is that Story of the Blues? The Mighty Wah was it?
