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)

@honeyroar..Land of Make Believe by Bucks Fizz

@Honeyroar

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.

Bucks Fizz. Land of Make Believe?

@Honeyroar - I'm embarrassed to say that's Buck's Fizz

@NeedToKnow101

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"

When the Going Gets Tough but can't remember the artist.

@NeedToKnow101 I think that's When the Going gets Tough by Billy Ocean?

@Honeyroar - yes! By John Cougar Mellancamp

How funny everyone got the Bucks Fizz!

Recent one is Billy Ocean - but which one? When the going gets tough (the tough get going) I think!
Honeyroar you were right with Stephen Duffy

Fudge cakes - correct!

So many questions still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through
And when I feel you near me, sometimes I see so clearly
That only truth I'll never know is me and you

A boyfriend bought me this (cheesy) single as a present. He was lovely.

Used to dance to this at local disco...
Well I don't pour out my heart like this, to everyone
And anyone that I meet
And I know it ain't the wine 'cause I feel just fine,
Can't you see baby, I'm still on my feet

Beres Hammond all I need to know

And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I've lost control again,
And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again.

I could play this game literally forever.

@Fudgecakes I spent most of the 80's keeping Elnett in business trying to emulate Susanna Hoffs.

That's just me.

My record player was next to my dressing table and all my LPs and singles got covered in a fine layer of Elnett as I got ready to go out.

You drink your coffee, and
I sip my tea and we're
Sitting here, playing so cool, thinking
"What will be, will be."

@MrsMoastyToasty... and I think I kept No.17 in business with black eyeliner and pearly pink shimmy lippie!!

There was a Howard Jones one in there somewhere..... did anyone get it????

@NeedToKnow101 Stay by Hazel O'Connor...I love a bit of sax

'Take your seaside arms and write the next line'.....?

And he catches the poor old lady's eye
And just for fun he says
"Get a job"

@SeasideArms Gold by Spandau Ballet

@Fudgecakes - right singer, wrong title.
