Put up a line or two from an 80s song for people to guess.

Starting you off with...

you feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun

SIgn of the time, blood pressure running high now
Nowhere to dance, which channel can you turn to?

Still trying to think what bovaryx is...in the meantime....

She lives in a big white house
The rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life

Kill the king with love is the law
And then we'll turn round (gimme the ring)
Gimme dream child
And do you hear me call? (Gimme the ring)

Prosecco - it was Patrick Swayze himself.

RiftGibbon · 01/06/2020 12:19

Blue I think that is This corrosion by Sisters of Mercy. Great track!

I don't think anyone has got mine yet

Bluesheep8 · 01/06/2020 13:17

Correct! Star

MortyFide · 01/06/2020 13:33

There was one that @BinkySodPlop posted last night that I don't think anybody got - was it Nu Shoes, I Can't Wait?

Love that song.

How about;

Everything is wonderful, being here is heavenly
Every single day she says, everything is free

RiftGibbon · 01/06/2020 13:40

Morty that's Mary's Prayer but I don't remember the name of the band.

Myothercarisalsoshit · 01/06/2020 13:42

Danny Wilson!

MortyFide · 01/06/2020 14:03

That's them! Trying to think of some more slightly obscure but not impossible ones...

RiftGibbon · 01/06/2020 14:08

How about this one?

Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears

MortyFide · 01/06/2020 14:09

Do you realise some things you say?
I know you do, it makes me so confused
I'm sure this ain't the way that love should be
Let's get it right, it's much too good to lose

Myothercarisalsoshit · 01/06/2020 14:09

The Whole of the Moon - The Waterboys?

MortyFide · 01/06/2020 14:10

Ooh that's a tricky one Rift, I'm good but not that good!

Iggi999 · 01/06/2020 14:15

AEIOU The Freeze (?) that's a tough one!

RiftGibbon · 01/06/2020 14:15

Myother spot on!

Now there's a hole in the sky
And the ground's not cold
And if the ground's not cold
Everything is gonna burn...

Iggi999 · 01/06/2020 14:17

Pixies! Not sure of song title though Smile
