[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)

It wasn't the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colour of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must've realised

ItWorriesMeThisKindofThing I'm getting kind-of chanting. Young. Not v good looking. Depeche mode?

Is it I don't need this pressure on?

Fleamaker123 feel like I know it, but i cant get there. Need tea

Fleamaker - A-Ha I've been losing you - love it!

They let you dream just to watch them shatter, You're just a step on the boss man's ladder

prosecco yes, Chant No 1

@Iggi999
Yes, such a good song...and you get lovely Morten too

@NeedToKnow101 Will you? By Hazel O Connor

@Iggi999 Cuddly Toy by Roachford

(both fab songs)

@Fudgecakes Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins

Oops sorry, I’m a page behin!

Last night I had the strangest dream, I sailed across to China, in a little rowing boat to find ya.

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box, religion is a smile on a doll.

@Fleamaker123 I saw them in concert last year, he still has it!
@ProseccoBubbleFantasies 9-5, Dolly Parton, great song and one of my favourite movies

Honey roar it's got stuff about I'm not aware of too many things.. hasn't it? But don't know title or who by!

Honeyroar - Matthew Wilder - Break My Stride

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

They let you dream just to watch them shatter, You're just a step on the boss man's ladder

Was mine too hard? It's a popular song.

Would you like more lyrics?

"....but you've got dreams they'll never take away.
In the same boat as a lot of your friends.
Waiting for the day your ship'll come in
And the tide's going to turn and it's all going to roll your way"

Years go by
Will I choke on my tears
'Til finally there is nothing left

Prosecco I already guessed it!!
Maxone Tori Amos - is it Crucify?

In a world of broken rules
She found a place for you
Along her chain of fools

Sorry, Iggi999.

Ewwww. I def know yours. Give me a minute....

Got it!!!!!

Scritti politti. The word.

I saw them last year!

(Green has not aged well, sadly)

Well done!

Ok. This is cheating cos it's a 60s song, but was an 80s hit too...

The wind is low
The birds will sing
That you are part of everything

These rivers run too deep
With schemes of men for days that lay ahead
They sell their souls so cheap
They breed mistrust and fill my heart with dread

Let's make a toast to those who helped make this occasion
They turn their back on love and that's what drove you straight to me

only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Some new romantic looking for the tv sound
You'll see I'm right some other time
