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

Well I'm heavenly blessed and worldly wise
I'm a peeping Tom techie with x-ray eyes

'Far from home now
Waiting by the telephone
There's a new world
You can make it on your own
Are you still proud of your little boy?
Don't be afraid
(Be afraid)'

'Diamond life, lover boy. We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy. City lights and business nights. When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.'

Who sang it?

Cruel is the night
That covers up your fears
Tender is the one
That wipes away your tears

I don't think this song has been done...

The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view

Iggi999 · 02/06/2020 00:34

and one more while I remember:

There's white horses and they're coming at me And they face now
There's a blue sirocco blowing warm into my face
The sun is shining on the other side of the bridges
The cars going by with smiles in the windows.

RiftGibbon · 02/06/2020 08:33

Well I'm feeling nervous
And I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there

Iggi999 · 02/06/2020 08:44

Yes Tilly and bluesheep, I thought those were hard but not for you guys!

NeedToKnow101 · 02/06/2020 14:16

It's crazy to see people be
What society wants them to be, but not me
Ruthless, is the way to go, they know

Did nobody get my other one from last night?

You can look at the menu but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushions, but you can't have a seat

RiftGibbon · 02/06/2020 14:52

It is, Bovary - wasn't David Sylvian supposed to be 'the most beautiful man in the world' back then? I wonder if he still is?!
