[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)

"Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low"

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

Indeed it is : )

I wanted to see you (See you)
I call you on the telephone
Just to be near you (Near you)
They tell me that you're not home

A/M F/M all that jazz
I'd rather sing along with Yazz

I'd Rather Jack by the Reynolds Girls?

So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned
Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride

He thinks of all the lips that he licks
And all the girls that he's going to fix
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle
But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle

Elvis Costello, I don't want to go to Chelsea
Love that one

I'll speak a little louder
I'll even shout
One of my fave songs ever.

(They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it, too --- this is driving me nuts, I can hear the damm song, I know the style and I cant bloody remember the group! Put me out of my misery! )

@Iggi999 me too! I remember being in an old vintage record shop years ago and that song came on. Loved it

@Willow2017

I'll speak a little louder I'll even shout One of my fave songs ever.

(They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it, too --- this is driving me nuts, I can hear the damm song, I know the style and I cant bloody remember the group! Put me out of my misery! )

Everywhere - Fleetwood Mac?

Reward-Teardrop Explodes

Disappointed and I don't know why
She gave me laughter and hope
And a sock in the eye

Now the party’s over, I’m so tired. Then I see you coming. Out of nowhere.

Kiss me. Stephen Tin-Tin Duffy

A modern day jack
A jock with an act
Hey Lolita touch me, squeeze me
Ahh

80s gold....rarely heard! It always puts a smile on my face!!

First single I ever bought was Reward by Teardrop Explodes.

Sparkling
Yep and thanks.

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone..

The first single I bought contained these lyrics but no prizes for guessing!

The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you

"He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise"

First record I bought too Sparklingbrook. Don’t You Want Me.

Iconic 80s @sparklingbrook....Don't You Want Me by Human League.

@NeedToKnow101 Jack and Diane? Don’t know who sang it.

@MrsMoastyToasty Manic Monday

@MrsMoastyToasty....Manic Monday by The Bangles....always sed to want to be Susanna Hoffs!!

I bought a much less streetcred worthy single at the same time as Don’t You Want me. See if you can get it...

Run for the sun, Little one, you’re an outlaw once again.

Don't you want me.

"'m gonna get myself 'cross the river
That's the price I'm willing to pay
I'm gonna make you stand and deliver
And give me love in the old-fashion way"
