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

Starting you off with...

And wonder if you'll ever see the sun

He's the man that makes you move

Whole of the Moon Waterboys.

The line "we saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon" is engraved on BiL's headstone...summed him up really.

But if you don't like what they're going to do
You better not stop them cause they're coming through

'Ever since our voyage of love began
Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
And your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
There's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me'

I keep missing the ones I know..

That's it Iggi, I think they were "Freeez"?! My brother had numerous 12" versions and blasted them out at a billion decibels daily.

And now, that bloody song has become an earworm...

I'm standing in your line
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too
I do keep a date with you

It's right on the cusp of the eighties so not sure if it will be disqualified. Grin

That's Nirvana - About a Girl.

trapped I think that was the problem with my one on the previous thread. It was right at the start of the 80s as far as I know.

...you can live life in style
If you sleep in a closet
And if you flash him a smile
He'll take your teeth as deposit

By a strange twist of fate I was listening to that very tune about 2 hours ago. Grin

RiftGibbon · 01/06/2020 16:14

Mine's not radiohead, Prosecco
Yours is Girls on Film, Duran Duran - made DC listen to it just the other day.

Who controlled the sea
Got killed by 10 million pounds of sludge
From New York and New Jersey
